That looks great.

sduckworth13 · 07-03-2015, 03:18 AM

That is a amazing looking tattoo you did Don.

ibrown50 · 07-08-2015, 07:20 AM

X3........... the design and the artwork are truly amazing

Ta2Don · 07-08-2015, 08:00 AM

Thanks Guyz!
Although I can't take credit for the design.

72again4x4 · 07-08-2015, 09:52 AM

Hi Don,
How's the plastidip holding up on the rims? Color matches my truck perfect and I'm looking for a different direction than paint. Thank for the Help.
Roger

Ta2Don · 07-08-2015, 10:13 AM

It seems to be doing fine, although I don't drive it every day. A friend of mine has a custom shop and sprayed plastidip on his personal vehicle, he had it on there for awhile. I will call him and get his input...

72again4x4 · 07-08-2015, 10:23 AM

Sounds great, thanks for the info. Good looking truck, I'm along for the ride.
Roger

I talked to my bud and he said that if you clean everything real well you shouldn't have any problems, and the good thing is, if there is a problem area, you can peel it off and buy the same color in a rattle can and touch it up...

Ta2Don · 07-13-2015, 10:15 PM

I decided to do a bit of cleaning and painting before the oppressive heat of our typical Arkansas summer made it's entrance...

Here are the door panels after removal and prior to cleaning…

The PO decided to add screws instead of new clips to secure the panels…

So those were filled prior to painting...

I used Dupli-Color Dk Grey for vinyl and upholstery paint…

Still need to order armrests...

**Palf70Step** · 07-14-2015, 05:26 AM

Those came out looking real good!

ibrown50 · 07-14-2015, 01:22 PM

X2 They look mint

That looks great! I'm going to add this one to the low buck build threads...today.

Two trucks at the same time you must be mad but I admire your dedication.

Not much to report, other than it's HOT

here in Arkansas so my motivation equals POOL!

On a somber note, my Mother-in-Law passed away this past Saturday so my focus has been on my lovely wife.

I did get my new transmission cooler in this past Friday

and am now finally getting around to posting a pic…
Fittings are still wrapped up in the packing material…

ibrown50 · 08-08-2015, 09:25 AM

Nice trans cooler, I made a simple aluminium bracket for mine and mounted it out in front of the radiator so it would get plenty of cold air (not that getting cold air is much of an issue in north east england

).

I ran a couple of PTFE hoses from the original hard lines and routed them through the side of the radiator shroud. Turned out OK

Nice trans cooler Don . I purchased one last year at the NSRA show in Tampa

Ta2Don · 08-08-2015, 02:13 PM

Thanx Guyz… Diggin' the setup you used Ian...

Hit the Pick-N-Pull this morning and scored a P/S box for this one...

Forgot my Pulley puller...

so on my return trip to return the Brake Booster I grabbed, I will grab a P/S pump and pulley for this… Thanx to dwcardfan, I am going to get a 72 booster...

Here's the donor of the P/S box

Grizz1963 · 08-08-2015, 06:18 PM

Progress and parts in one day.

Not bad.

Ian Brown, again a mod you did that I may have to copy, oils cooler.

calvin78612 · 08-08-2015, 10:48 PM

I'm in ! Keep the pics coming !

Ta2Don · 08-08-2015, 11:20 PM

Although I bought a Brake booster as well, it will be returned as Donnie, aka dwcardfan, offered me a '72 booster he has lying around...

I'll use the credit from the booster to help cover the cost of the P/S Pump I need to go back for… Seems someone forgot their Pulley removal tool this morning

so the pump is on hold for a couple of days…

nice work, truck and tattoo...
