I found a guy to shorten my driveshaft today, just need to drop it off with him, and he said he can have it done in a day or so. One step closer. |
Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Are you using a shop for your driveshaft?

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Well I didn't get much done on my truck this weekend, my brother finally got his car out of storage so we can get back to work on it too. He got a lift from a guy in Dallas a couple weeks ago, so we had to try it out. I'm just posting this mostly to keep up with the timeline on my build. I have a feeling I'm not going to get much done on my truck soon. Sorry about the crappy cell pics.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I think I would be really nervous under that lift. Maybe seeing it in person is better than the pics.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Covering up the nice clean frame will just motivate you more to get the body nice and clean as well.

I got my steering column tonight, it's out of an early 90's truck. The guy I bought it from got a bunch of stuff out of some of the cash for clunkers cars and trucks his buddy was crushing at his salvage yard last year. I know some people won't like the newer column in the old truck but my interior is not going to be to some people's liking all together. I'm going to do a mostly custom interior, to get the newer creature comforts because this truck will be my daily driver when I'm done. I figure if I try to make it to everyones taste I would never get done! Anyway, I was able to get the column close to installed, going to need some finageling. I also got my brake lines ordered, they should be in early next week. I decided to use that new cunifer line from FedHill, it's supposed to be extremely easy to work with, and won't rust either. We will see, here are some pics of tonights work, not much but at least it's some progress. Old column out. http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/v...SANY0101-1.jpg New one getting closer to in. http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/v...SANY0104-1.jpg |

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
The brown truck came by today! Dropped off my brakeline, I am using the Cunifer alloy line. It is rustproof and is supposed to be really easy to work with. I also bought a gauge cluster from an 02 Camaro that I'm going to try to get to work, it hasn't arrived yet though. I'm not sure if it's going to work or not, but we will see. It's nice and chilly in the garage right now, so I think it will be a couple days before I get the motivation to get back out there. :lol: Here are a couple pics of the newest parts.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Tell me more about you steering column, what was it out of what was required to make it work?

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I got my gauges tonight, did a little test fit to see if they were even going to work. Looks pretty good to me, I know some purists will not like it, but I can get all my gauges working for way cheaper than aftermarket gauges. That will help the budget right now. :metal: It's going to take some pretty creative fiberglass work to get them to fit in the original gauge panel, but I think I can do it. I also worked on getting my steering column in, it is fighting me all the way. I've almost got it in but it is hitting the brake light switch. I'm hoping I can find one that is a little more low profile so I can make it work. Here are some pics, don't be too harsh with your comments. :lol:
