Very unique and curious to see how it works. So I'm assuming you would tune with the cut out's open. Tend to see a decent Air/Fuel difference with full exhaust compared to just a downpipe.

Love the build and can't wait to see more.

Damn fine build so far!! Love this.

I'm sure you already looked into it but make sure that fan is rated for that. Plenty of fires and explosions have happened from using the wrong style of fan when painting.

Yeah It's a "fire" rated fan TEFC motor so it worked out that I had it laying around

bocephus79 · 07-14-2020, 11:53 AM

Some progress over the last few weeks.
Bed and tailgate painted
Engine primed with a garden sprayer
tedious interior install

and oh yeah, this happened https://youtu.be/vHHoEYXs7Uk

88Stanger · 07-31-2020, 10:06 AM

Nice Job Sir!! i am almost at the point that i need to start a paint booth like you got. nice work.

Wizit247 · 08-04-2020, 05:54 PM

wow is all I have to say! Im following!

bocephus79 · 09-01-2020, 09:35 AM

Some Progress Updates. Most of the interior is done, at least the hard parts I wanted to do before the doors were installed.
the new door handles seem too " short" The actuator pin on the push button needs to be like 1/8 longer to make the latch open all the way.

As far as the bed wood kit from Mark-k goes..I wanted the bed on the truck so when I mock the wood up to drill the holes everything is perfect. Man was setting that thing on the frame stressful

Beautiful Blue.

aggie91 · 09-01-2020, 10:56 AM

Nice progress. Love that blue.

88Stanger · 09-03-2020, 09:30 AM

looking awesome!

**LostMy65** · 09-03-2020, 03:28 PM

Looking really good.

bocephus79 · 09-09-2020, 11:20 AM

Test fit of the boards so I can mark the outside edge holes to drill and the gas tank fill

88Stanger · 09-09-2020, 12:18 PM

Where did you get the seat?

I'm still here!! as usual carwash season dominated my life this year. Before winter I did get to drive it ( at least out of the shop and back inside)

Painting the hood now and putting the interior together.

The window glass frames are hitting the " whiskers" inside the door when I try to roll it up. I see that alot of people have this issue, but haven't found a solution yet.

Has anyone found the holy grail answer?

also has anyone used a good billet window crank/ door handle set from someone?

SCOTI · 03-05-2021, 02:35 PM

Getting closer!

**cwcarpenter98** · 03-05-2021, 08:18 PM

Lookin good! On my truck, I just bent the flange back some on those felts. My truck hasn't been painted yet though, so I wasn't concerned about any fresh paint

bigmoe · 03-05-2021, 11:58 PM

With my truck I pulled the glass out of the channels, squeezed the top of the channels together as much as possible to get the glass back in. I used windshield urethane to glue the channels back on and I also put some small spacers (1/16" - 1/8" or so) in the bottom of the channel so the glass didn't go in all the way. If you go to an autoglass shop near closing time you can get a part tube of urethane from them. They throw them out because they won't keep till the next day.
The truck is coming along nicely. Love that colour.

bocephus79 · 05-04-2021, 11:14 AM

BAck with an update:
Removed the glass and cleaned up the glass channels nd painted them.
I bought new felt strips from rubber the right way. They fit way better, but before installing I took the advice from this thread and " widened" the inner gap where they clip in. worked perfect.

Wood ready for poly, fenders on even has working taillights!

bigmoe · 05-04-2021, 11:30 AM

Nice door panels! Buy those somewhere or custom made?
