Finally Ready to roll........to Salina
My computer is so old and worthless,this post is pictures only...may be an exception or two ....here goes;
The Wheels.....
"The Patio tire Shop....We Fix Flats'
So easy a three year old can do them
The Paint Job
Changed out the dash pad with one I've had for at lest 25 years,radio delete not a single crack.I'm really proud of this piece,so glad I never used it until now
All pretty'ed up for the prom,"Let's break out the booze and dance....."
Leaving K.C. early Wens.morning.Headed west to Lawrence,Ks.from there south on 59 for 20 miles to 56 west.Two lane blacktop all the way lots of little towns along the way and no crazy highway drivers......about 180 miles....if I make it in five hours its been a great drive......

Re: Finally Ready to roll........to Salina
That Looks Really Good Dan, Did You Use Rattle-Cans Too Or Just Brushes & The Styrofoam "Weenie-Roller"? BTW, Hope You Have A Great Time At SS. Wish I Was Going This Year. ......
Re: Finally Ready to roll........to Salina
Dana,
I used the foam roller on all the metal except the tight spots door handles,antennae,spent the big money for an high quality Purdy 2" brush.Also mixed 4oz.Penatrol per can of paint.Helped it to relax and flow smoothly,and slowed the drying time.........temperature is the killer...55/65 degrees would have been ideal but last week was really warm,so most of the paint was laid on early in the day 6:30/7:00 am and even then it was difficult

Re: Finally Ready to roll........to Salina
Pretty slick paint for a roller job, I'd have never thought it when I saw it. I liked you door latches, a good way to lock yourself in. All in all pretty cool ole truck, I like it.

I hope I always stay crazy, because I know if I ever become sane, it will drive me crazy.

Re: Finally Ready to roll........to Salina
Pat,
All my past estimates were based on a 17gal.fuel tank.19.5 is real capacity.I filled up in Salina Sun.morn and made it home on that one tank about 200miles.The fuel needle was way to the left of empty and didn't move when the key was turned.......I'm thinking it gets around 10mpg..???It weighs 6,800 empty,4:56 gears,300cui with a holly 1940 one barrel.
