Very nice truck

. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Maybe I missed it, but did you paint it your self?

Friend of my dads, painted the truck. He painted dads 62 T-Bird 15 years ago,still looks good today. Bob's very fussy about his work.

Finished wiring the truck this afternoon. This is the stuff that takes along time doing.I was all afternoon putting in new heater control cables the other day.

Put new voltage reg. on instrument panel and new sender unit in gas tank,hope the gauge works now. Put the factory AM radio back in, not to many stations to listen to any more. Trying to keep the truck original looking.

Looking good. I hope to have mine in as good of shape as yours one day. Lots of work but a labor of love!

Ordered new dash pad from Dennis Carpenter,very happy with the fit. I've been really happy with the quality and fit of the parts from them.Window,door seals,door handles, hood letters,hood reflectors and many more parts.

Put transmission lines on.With the headers on the truck,even if I run them up the frame I was afraid of the heat from the header.There is not much room between the header and frame.So I cheated and ran them up under the pan.

That was a good call on the trans lines. Was there enough clearance that the flex in the trans mount wont smash them?

There is lot of room.

Very good day. Fired up the motor for the very first time.Sounded very good and strong.

Ran the motor at 2000rpm for 20 min. to break in the cam.
