Looking good. I just started sanding my front fenders today and I'm already tired of it.

Well finally got some white paint on it  ;D, Body work is so miserable ???

I had plenty of PPG white paint so I decided to shoot a coat in the garage so I can find all of the flaws then scuf sand it and bring it down to a body shop booth in town, The owner of the shop is going to let me use the booth on a friday afternoon.
 here are some snapshots enjoy :)

I am Finally Done ;D ;D ;D Almost ;)

Got the truck back from paint and put it together this week I am so happy the way it turned out. I was so tired of sanding, priming, then sanding again.

I do have plenty of things I want to do yet like,

Remove the 1 ton leaf springs and install 3/4 ton set up and then add a set of heavy duty airbags.

Buy a new bumbers for the front and back.

Tint the back window.

buy some more speakers and hook up my stereo.

and the list goes on.......

any way enjoy the picts, The entire build is on my webshots website.

Looks good, I'm sure all the sanding paid off looks like it was worth it.

Thanks Guy's  ;D

I started the work over the 4th of july last year and for the most part I am finished.

The engine is 489 cubic inch's with oval port -781 heads, Lunati Hyd cam, Holley intake and Holley Carb, Granny low 4 speed, hyd clutch set up, dual 2.5 mandrel exhaust that y together into a single 3 inch Flowmaster, Bell Tech 4 inch drop shackels and spindles.

It turned out exactly how I imagined and it runs great, I am actually pretty happy that the other engine I had in it had problems I am very pleased with the drivability and the low end torque of the stroker engine.
