Today I finally started putting things back in the truck

Wiring harness went in, finished cleaning entirely. My buddy came over and sanded and painted the new hood (repayment for me sanding and painting his fenders on his chevelle). Started on the rear as well.

 

Im impressed with how much your able to do on your truck so quickly. The amount of work youve done since the beninning of this thread is more then i would of done in a year. Granted im at school at the moment and 300 miles from my truck

 

thanks. Its my daily driver so I cant really afford to sit idle and let it be burnt. Besides, it hurts too much to see it broken.

 

here is a picture of the new hood in black primer.

 

and here is the engine as of now. i powered up the accessories for the first time today and was able to roll up the window and move the seat forward

 

Got it runnin today with the help of my buddy mike. God, I missed the sound . The neighbors were being little turds about being noisey at night too.

 

I like the black primer hood.... And congrats on getting the whole thing done so quick...

 

Rock and Roll Indy. Glad to hear she's up and running again. Maybe she isn't running down the road, but at least she sounds like she could.

 

damn straight. Tomorrow, mike is adjusting my valves ( he refuses to let me do it anymore HAHA) Were going to put the dash in, get the interior straightened out. Once were done that were taking out the gears and putting the new ones in. That should be finished by weds night, and then thurs, Ill be taking it to the shop for the new windshield, and friday picking it up and going to the track YEEE HAWWW!

 

we will have a fully restored interior and tuned up running engine by tomorrow. hopefully the new rear will be prepped and the old will be completely out by tomorrow as well. i can't say that the new one will be installed, but we're going to try. then windshield/cowl and all systems are go.
