Took a little time yesterday to try and get the fired. I am happy to say, after sitting for two years..... she fired right up. This truck is a BEAST ! I think the belt I put in is just a touch to small though. I get some loud squeals after about 10 sec of run time. It was fun trying to figure out how to run the belt with deleting the smog pump and ac, but I got er done.

Now to start on the air ride this weekend. Looks like we will make it to slamology after all. I went ahead and got pre-reg out of the way.... so if I have to push it there, we will be there.

P.S.
got my new grille and headlights..... not to happy about the headlights though, not the ones I ordered.... guess they stopped making them. I will have pics soon.

OK, took the week off work to put in some time on the dime... ... . .
Here is some progress photos,

Got the bed back on and mocked up the air management:

Started sanding:

Got the air hooked up and working:

Put this bad boy in:

Pulled her out and gave her a wash:

Actually put down the first layer of paint also, but no pic. The bare metal spots, will stay bare so that they rust.
That is it for now, putting in the finishing touches in the next day or two.

How's it coming along man? I hope I make it to Slam'. It's on Father's Day weekend, so I may sneak over in Bill Cosby for the day.

She is coming great brother. It would be awesome if you make it out to Slam. I am having a Pre Slam Cookout Friday the 17th. Here are some more recent pics of her:

This is how I got the door home

Thanks to the guys at Quality Air Ride:

You should paint the Chevrolet on the tailgate red and then scuff it up.
