So new windshield and gasket went in Sat morning. What a fight it put up these new style gaskets are a bear to work with.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/001-35.jpg Also picked up the fenders and doors http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/002-42.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/003-44.jpg So with that said we installed them very carefully and what would you know not one bumped edge or mark chip nothing!! http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/005-42.jpg kid putting the inner fender bolts all 8 of them chevy did not want the fender to come off..:D http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/006-36.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/007-28.jpg Next we installed the new inner wheel wells I had them inside and out sprayed with bedliner along with the engin compartment side of the fenders gives it a great look and seals things up nice and cuts down on noise.. Drivers side. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/008-30.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/010-23.jpg Same thing passenger side only thing different is the battery tray and the over flow tank. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/012-17.jpg Also used 3M rubberized under coat and used one can per door on the insides of the door using the spatter tube to make it nice and thick. I was able to get the hole inside of the door using the many holes in the door.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/013-11.jpg Then we pushed it up side and installed the door latches and cleaned a few things up as well as the shop.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/014-12.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/015-12.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/016-13.jpg Also you can see in this pick that we got the visor on also today.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/017-9.jpg Thats it for now more to come this week.. |

Re: Big Block's Return
Man that looks great Paul!!! I love that body style, we have a 84' 1-ton 4x4 "grass truck" at work, I'm itching to get my hands on when it goes up for sale. What wheels and tires are you planning on?
Keep it up. Ben |

Re: Big Block's Return
Well been going like Mad on the truck this week we are down to the things that don't look like much but take a lot of time to do.. I did get lax on the picks as i was in the grove and just plain old forgot..
I took the headlights and side markers and front parking lights since they were old and not looking the best I took the chrome rings off them and polished them and then used VHT night shades to smoke them.. Also got the chrome on the front and all the lights mounted also the lower stone guard too and here is how it looks still have to finish the grill tomorrow.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/002-43.jpg Then worked on some more wiring under the hood and new heater hoses clamps, battery cables and battery too.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/006-37.jpg Fuel pump relay. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/007-29.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/001-36.jpg Also got the seat back from the carpet cleaner and it looks like new keep in mind this seat came out of the same 85 chevy that all the int trim work came from.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/005-43.jpg Them got the headliner and A and B pillar and the front and back trim in and the seat.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/004-43.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/003-45.jpg Also I had to take to gas filler necks and make one cause the truck is a 76 and the box is a 85 and the fuel tanks and the fuel neck are different so I took the 85 filler neck and cut the end of the 76 filler neck off and welded them together and that worked perfectly. Ill get a pick of that tomorrow too.. I am working on the rest of the trim parts but the door panels so all the int trim work will be done tomorrow as well as the hood mounted too and have to do the tail light wiring too then just little stuff till it is just right again.. Thanks For looking.. |

Well the old rig is pretty much done but a few minor things but Ill get yall up to speed on the project. I have forgot to get picks of a few things but Ill just have to explain them instead. Ok so first off finished up the grill and front.. Got the grill redone and all the smoked lights installed.. Before. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/004-44.jpg After..Smoked headlights and side markers and blinkers with new painted grill and chevy badge to match the color of the truck. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/005-44.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/006-38.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/007-30.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/009-26.jpg Here is the old fender badge I cleaned it all up and polished it witch was a major pain then repainted the black and changed the yellow to the same red as the truck. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/011-20.jpg On the truck. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/023-6.jpg Ok so got the windows and all the new track felt installed I took the wing windows and replaced the rubber gaskets MAJOR PAIN and repainted all the black parts all of this I did not get picks of the steps as i was just trying to get done it was no fun. Next we striped the old door panels we bought and I took the fabric panels in the house and cleaned them with carpet cleaner and them we sanded down the old sun beaten panels and re-textured them to match the dash and recolored the panels and arm rests and door pouch. Before.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/013-12.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/014-13.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/015-13.jpg Afters.. We are waiting on the new alum strips for the door panels. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/021-10.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/022-9.jpg So today we up sea-foam in the motor and ran it about 40 miles and them brought it back and changed the oil and put in Royal Purple and greased the hole chassis and up on the front bumper and the new wheels and tires and this is were she sits now. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/017-10.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/016-14.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/020-6.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/019-8.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/024-8.jpg So we still have some odds and ends left. Carpet and a Bed cover/CB whips and some Int. trim parts. Then some new LED lights for the front and rear bumpers and cut and buff it and it will be a wrap so there will be some mini updates down the line. Thanks Much |
