Looking good, nice work.

 

She is looking good!!! I hope mine looks as nice when I get paint on it.

 

Dude, you gonna be able to drive this once it's done? I'd be too scared it looks so nice!

 

That is looking really good. And not just good, in the sense of pretty, but actually well done in the details! Thanks for taking the time to post this up.

 

Thanks, its going to be a bit nerve racking the first few drives, but I refuse to let her turn into a garage queen!

Thanks, pulled it down to every last nut and bolt!

Stay tuned for more pics!

 

you will be required to bring that beauty to Carlisle in 2019.

I demand it!!!!

Lol

 

Looks great! I sure love all the details like the powdercoating.

 

Yessir, planning on it!!!

Thanks, I powder coated as much as possible, she should at least last another 50 years now!

 

Installed a new HX35W turbo today, all ready to roll, now onto the rest of the 5500 small projects!

 

Got the rear all buttoned up today!


Heres a before and after; before is about 10 years ago.

 

She looks great!!!

 

Do you think if I moved to North Carolina my stuff would transform into beautiful specimens like yours?

Awesome job man. There is more work involved in that kind of restoration than anyone who hasn't done it can comprehend.

 

Haha. If only they did it on their own. Big plus around here, NO RUST. Still hard to believe that things do not hardly rust here, vs rust to pieces in Ohio. Last time I was there I saw Ford, Chevy, Dodge trucks less than 10 years old, with cab corners, wheel wells rusted out already....

Thank you; its all in the details. Do it all the way or go home!

 

Any lots for sale on your street with a small house and a shop with a few acres under roof?

 

Your tailgate trim panel looks perfect, how did you ever find one in such good shape, it isn't aftermarket, is it?
