Good call...update is long overdue!
EXTERIOR: I'm now 90% sure I'm going to plasti-dip the exterior red. White bumpers front and rear, and white wheels. I welded the front bumper bolts onto the bumper, and grinded/painted the front bumper. Smooth...kinda! Will be doing the rear when I get the chance.
INTERIOR: The panels and dashpad are worn heavily from old age and the sun. I bought some outdoor tablecloth material: red/white plaid vinyl with a cotton backing...like the cover you find on an outdoor picnic bench. Well, it didn't take to well to spray adhesive...the plastic wouldn't smooth out. I did the dashpad and it looks rough to say the least. Good effort on my part; I'll get heavier-grade material and reupholster the interior panels on the cheap!
POWERTRAIN: Every time I drive the truck, the engine feels better and better...truly "breaking the engine in". I love driving this thing. The carb is a little funky still, though...I'm thinking about a rebuild myself.
SUSPENSION: Tinman is going to slice and dice the I-beams after I cut the coils for some much needed drop! Hoping for 4" of lowering all around the truck...
Pics to come...whenever I get around to them?
