Thats not a work in progress, thats a fine machine.

:o :o :o
Welcome aboard. Fine truck! And a big block to boot. What are your plans?
Are those 18" rims?
-
Thanks!
No, they're 20s all around.
It's at the body shop now getting undercoated, and touched up. Should get it back tomorrow.
Between now and summer, I'm replacing the TH-400 with a TCI 700R4 so I can get my OD back. I have a static drop on it now but plan on replacing that with bags from Suicide Doors. I already have everything but the rear bags and brackets. But, the big project is bucket seats / console and a complete interior overhaul.

Is that a little rastafarian stripe around it or am I just imagining things?

... considering I had to look up the word, you're imaging things. :)

Thanks guys!!
No, it's green over orange.. When the painter painted it, his 14yrs old son said, "that truck would look good with an orange pin stripe". I said, yeah and a green one over it.
That's all we said and went on to another topic.. When I went back to pick up the truck a week later, it was done. I was surprised that he didn't tell me before hand. Nonetheless, it looked good so I didn't complain... plus, it was hand painted at no charge!!

That truck is perfect. I love the paint, I love the stance, the wheels....it's just a good combo. Nice work bro.

Looks Sharp! I'm not usually big on the flat paint schemes, but for whatever reason your truck kind of forces me to like it... a lot! Wicked truck man! Great work!

Im telling ya it looks awesome man, the stripes unique man. Good job on the truck

First off, Lemme say; Bad ass truck sir! I was oogling the engine pics and noticed you have a 1 row all aluminum radiator similar to the one I purchased for my rebuild. ((??)) If so, What modifications did you have to do to mount it. More simply, how did you mount it [or secure it] to the radiator support... ???
I am trying to figure out the best solution for mine.

Thanks guys for all the kind words..
That radiator is a "Be Cool" for the 1987 Chevrolet R10. The Fans are Flex-a-lite. The truck was a small block truck originally so I had the upper radiator hold down clamps that were part of the fan shroud already. When I mounted the radiator, the only thing I had to do was remove 2 screws that were keeping the radiator from mounting flush against the support. They were insignificant screws so it was not biggie to remove them. Then I used the upper hold downs from the original setup and it locked the radiator in place perfectly.

By the way, I got the truck back from the painter late last week. It looks better now with a Hot Rod Black / clear coat over it. I'll get some pics first chance I get and post them here.
