Yea my check valve is gone....i started it today and let it warm up for a minute in neutral and no problems spo I think that may have been it...thank god

 

Sitting and not being driven for long periods of time is the worst abuse possible for a vehicle.

 

Got the drivers side holes all patched up today...looks pretty good and its solid...but on my right fender I had patched it with sheet metal two years ago to fix a smalll patch...well I was checking for any more bad metal and the sheet metal tore right off to reveal a good chunck of my fender is gone...way to much to bondo...so that needs attention...i primed most of the roof as well today.


On a different note...my motor....im going back to work soon according to the rumors my dad told me...but I know my motor will last the winter...i need the truck in the winter because I ice fish alot and have a snowmobile I have to haul....so this winter im going to save up/ buy parts because next spring im taking it to the family mechanic and its getting fully rebuilt.....if I buy the parts I want changed....he will tear it down, machine block, rebuild with all of my parts for $1500...i trust him so thats my plan...cuz when I get back to work I could save that in 2 weeks...so good deal imo

 

Well today I did a little more sanding getting the body ready for more paint...also I started painting some interior parts...the truck is going to be blacked out with the chrome...i love that look...but I painted my inner door panals today cuz I had some spare black paint...

Pics to come...just waiting until tomorrow when my bill cycle starts over...almost used up all the data on my phone

 

I'd pay more attention to the death wobble problem if it were me.

 

Well I do have a control arm thats bent to the shape of a boomerang...so we will see what happens after I change that...


We started blacking out the interior today...looks badass...

 

Havent done the top of the dash yet...need to block off windshield...but most of the rest is done

 

I hope you used a specialty paint that will bond to plastic properly.

 

Yup...i have fabric paint for fabric and plastic paint for plastic

 

About your control arm. Mine fell off while my dad was driving and he could barley steer it. I would get that fixed before anything else. Its not to expensive.
