Time for a winter project.

My new billet grille showed up today. I'll probably get that put together tomorrow. The metalwork is done on the bed, so it's back on. I need to shim my compressors down a little bit tomorrow too.

comin along good man

You know, it seems like there hasn't been a single snag in the whole project. Most everything has been showing up quickly or like yesterday, the parts I need show up on a Saturday when I can actually use them. Kinda nice for a change.

^^^knock on wood after that!! lol

Good planning!

Couple pics of my new grille in: (Looks like I need to adjust my driver's side light up.)


It's kinda ugly with all those colors. I think it'll look good when it's all painted up.



Taste the rainbow.

(backend needs shimmed up.)

I also washered my compressors down a lil bit.

truck is lookin good

lookin good cj, might wana get the lower grills shined up or replaced to match they look darker, not sure if its cause of the dark bumper or the camra, but its lookin sick n makin me jelous again...still wiaghtin on this old guy t get dun fixin his mess up so i can try n get laid for 22s....

I could probably freshen the lower grilles up. There isn't a billet kit for my bumper cover. I had to make them. All my pictures are just cameraphone pictures too.

I got all my parts, and my new steeringlinkage(the old one looks like it shoulda gave out 10,000 miles ago) no notch tie rods,hot rod booster, and so on, just waightin on this old guy to give me my truck back. I think should start on sunday if plan doesnt fail.

I'd like some feedback on how your brakes feel with that hot rod booster. I went with a JM5 first gen booster and they feel like stock brakes. I don't know if a 22" would fit beside it though.

as usual it looks good. next time you swing through chatham hills hit me up. im always in the garage but the door is closed. luv to see the truck!

i told you we could go and beat that old dude up...... or like you said lets do a lynchin!!

Dead thread.


Well I haven't worked on the truck much lately. Cold weather sucks. My ragtop is still waitin' to go in. I finally got some lights up in the garage though, which is a huge improvement.



Today I bought another fender and cut it up and laid it in place to get an idea. They're going to be bolt in fenders hopefully. It'd make it a lot easier to work on that way.




Also, I met Ernie Ball yesterday. He's been painting custom cars longer than I've been alive, and is pretty well known around here. He told me, "that's a nice truck", which is a pretty big complement, I think. It's gonna stay pink and black, but have custom mixed colors, 'cause that's the way he does it. He said it'll be "devastating", haha.
