I really am impressed with what you are doing. It does motivate me to get a move on and work on mine more. Keep up the great work. I really like the interior. Sounds good, too!

0331grunt · 09-28-2009, 11:06 AM

Just want say it looks great. Question- is that Mojave heater hard to install? I like the shaved firewall look and also can't afford the Vintage Air set up yet... Also, would you recomend the EZ Wire harness? Comments or suggestions on it.. Thanks.

Craig

flamingbig10 · 09-28-2009, 08:49 PM

thanks Craig to the way Mounted the heater was on one side its mounted to the engine hump on the firewall and the other side is spaced with square tubing, I haven't hooked up the hoses yet the ez2 to wire is a good product

0331grunt · 09-29-2009, 08:03 AM

Keep up the good work!

GMC Guy · 10-03-2009, 06:07 PM

flamingbig10 · 10-06-2009, 01:00 AM

that's wright.
after I find another gauge bezel then I'll will get the materials to fiber glass the dash I plan on getting it done before the years over
and I might swap my euro tail lights and turn signals for stock ones

GMC Guy · 10-20-2009, 01:09 PM

hey what kind of radiator did you go with?

flamingbig10 · 10-20-2009, 03:17 PM

its a afco racing radiator

GMC Guy · 10-20-2009, 03:23 PM

do you like it? and did it fit in there without modification? the truck looks amazing btw, are you near done?

flamingbig10 · 10-20-2009, 03:32 PM

I like I got it at a speed shop that deals with mostly dirt track stuff, I got fairly cheap when they were having moving sale, I could of used the factory radiator brackets but my dad friend build parts for home conditioners and made me some, and thanks on the complement I'm not completely done but once I get a good paying job and buy a driver then I going start over on my truck but I will be leaving the interior and paint alone

GMC Guy · 10-21-2009, 04:12 AM

i'm literally in the same boat. i just do what i can with what i have lol but hopefully one of these jobs i've applied for will work out and i'll have money for paint and body work and re-doing the drive train. but for now i just love cruising around downtown and turnin heads

v502 · 10-22-2009, 02:08 PM
