Soon to come: Lots of Body work , Engine Maintenance, full set of steelies! and Possibly a Disk swap!

And you will have everything bought and installed by Thursday at noon time right>!!?!?!?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!!

Mater/10 · 01-09-2014, 11:06 AM

Well last night was a bust im picking it up this weekend on Sunday and it should be on Monday after school! So far its looking like this is gonna end up a Full Restoration from top to bottom with a 04' 5.3 and disk. So i have something cool and classic when im older.

NEWFISHER · 01-09-2014, 11:44 AM

More time this weekend to scrape, wire brush, sand and paint the rear half before the axle is installed

Mater/10 · 01-09-2014, 12:07 PM

Mater/10 · 01-10-2014, 10:53 AM

Sounds like the Plan then! ill start on the body work on the rear of the bed then start the measurements and mock up, I have a set of original 69' stock tail lights ill use as a measure Ref. Thinking of getting ahold of a 69 rear tail pannel to cut the tailight sections out to weld in.

Mater/10 · 01-10-2014, 11:52 AM

A doodle i did a few days back, Saw my truck done up like this in a dream . satin red and white. Thoughts ?

Mater/10 · 01-10-2014, 04:11 PM

After a day of thought, i see what im dealing with as far as my trucks set up. So im turning this towards a Full Solid Restoration. I cant bring my self to cut up Christine anymore then a patch panel or to. Shes a Solid 98% rust free Original dime haha I Hope yall can understand my Change of Path

Gotta Preserve the Past a lil

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-10-2014, 04:56 PM

You sure as heck are a lot better artist then I am! LOL! I think I have made about 10 drawings of 60's Chevy trucks. But anyhow...nice work. Satin red and white is a nice choice.

Mater/10 · 01-13-2014, 11:01 AM

UPDATE! The guy i had set up the axle trade with flaked , So i jumped on the panhard bar got it straight, removed the spring spacers and the axle went back into a more regular position haha now its equalish on both sides. I also fired her up and will upload the start up and running videos to youtube for yall. heres a few pics! ,I bought a brand new Master cyl and brake springs to!
