Tanker: Thanks man....im trying to do it the best I can on a limited budget, but i want it to look new inside and out....even behind the tail lights! My OCD is gonna kill me on this thing.

 

wayno: No luck so far. I think im just gonna leave em be for the time being. Figure I can always do em later if need be.

OK....time for my monthly update. Got my King pins and with some help from Mike and Blue Hands Video I got them installed. New bushings everywhere. New upper spindles (i think thats what its called) New lower fulcrum pin. New Kings. New bearings and seals. New steering arms....pretty much the whole front end is new. I also decided to pull the trigger on disc brakes upfront so I got those on today as well. Again....with help from Mike at BHI. I tried posting once already and photobucket is acting crazy so I lost a bunch. Pics will follow.

Finally made some progress. Figured id give a small update. I bought a parts truck that i thought id use the cab from. Upon further review...more work than mine. So i patched up the rust in the floor pan and got a friend to help get the waves out of the roof. I did score a pretty solid upper valance so i got myself a spot-weld remover and got drilling. Went and bought a small sandblaster and blasted all the bad spots plus the entire engine compartment. Then i took the DA to it. Got it all pretty smooth and needed to get it in primer before it flash rusted on me. (Plus i really wanted to see it all one color!) another buddy came over this morning and we laid down a fog in my driveway. I cant figure out how to post pics from my phone so ill follow up tomorrow with those.
