project: LEMON LAID

looks good bro! it was good seeing ya sat! sorry i was so damn busy tryn to get the mud off the truck so i could get judged n not have to worry about it after the fact

small update:

i got most of the interior back together (gonna keep the stock dash for now). i also got my patch panel where my heater core was, made and installed as well as got some of the wiring harness re-routed on the inner fenders. it wont look too bad under the hood. i also managed to break a corner light on it after forgetting it was on when i was taking the fender off from mocking everything up. oops. guess i gotta order new ones now. the goal for this weekend is to get the air management stuff mounted and HOPEFULLY get it running.

update:

well i have been straight busting my ass today trying to get as much done as i can. i had my buddy Phil come over and help me. anyways, here is what we did.

while waiting for Phil to arrive, i decided to polish the wheels up real nice. i realized while doing it why i love AND hate polishing wheels...lol. heres a pic. the wheel on the left is before i polished them and the one on the right is after being polished:


not bad for $300 wheels huh? then i decided to paint the frame flat black. this picture is while in the middle of painting it. it looks better than it does in the pic:


Phil finally showed up and he got work on wiring up the valves and i got the motor work done. i made a loop for the heater lines and cleaned up the wiring AND was able to use my stock intake system which saved me money. heres a pic:


you can also see my patch panel i made for where the blower box was. not the prettiest but it works!

Phil finished up all the wiring for the valves and mounted the tank. we mounted the valves under the bed but inside and tucked away yet easily accessible. while he got that done i started putting the fenders and headlights on. got that on then we put the bed on decided to call it a day after about 7hrs. or so. we were both beat. heres a pic of how it looks right now:


NOT really that much more to do, just a bunch of little stuff to do but it shouldnt take that much longer.

shes coming together

woohoo!

looks good man

lookin good man

i'm diggin it brian!!!, we should start planning a midwest minis bbq cruise in/show now so we can pick a central location and get every one out n have a blast! also your ride is shrinking!?!?! lol keep up the good work!

id love to do a car show/cruise-in deal and i know the perfect location here in Ft Wayne, IN. its at an old K's Merchandise store which is located right behind a Chuck E. Cheese on the main strip. its a big lot and there are hotels and restaurants near by as well as a mall and strip clubs galore...lol.

LETS DO IT!!!

down for this as well

Woot, Let me know and I will do my best to make it

me too

todays the day!!

hopefully today will be the day she fires up! only thing left to do is relocate the battery and she will be ready to go!!

woohoo!

it looks like its gonna be slim to no chance the truck will make it to Camp N Drag. there is a clutch pedal position sensor that somehow got broken when i was working on the truck. its only like a $35 part but i dunno if its just that. we will see tho. im going to order the part and go from there. if that ant it well then it definately wont go to CnD but i will go any ways. UGGGG!! this sucks!!
