    Man, seems like years since I posted any progress/update pics. Just been driving the sh!t outta this thing.
    Dirty2's been on my ass to paint my dang generator since the day I fired this thing up. He did one helluva job for me.

    Got the headers a little shinier with a nice ceramic coating.

    Then had the seats done:

    Why should ya, it still has a little paint left on it here and there. If you did the punks at the swap meets would still say 'Nice Rat Rod!"

    Nice stuff Ken, really like the color combo on the upholstry. I wouldn't paint it I've always thought it was kick ass just the way it was. Gary

    The changes look good Ken. And driving the sh!t out of it is what it's for, right?

    Nice to know Danny will be sleeping better though.

  9. Noted the lack of door remotes. How do you open the door and did you use stock are bear claw latches?

    Thanks Gary - how's things in the snow-belt? :confused:
    GV - you gonna come visit in a couple weeks? 'DRAG' the 'T' this way.
    Big Dad - a guy named Mike w/T & S Motorsports, up in Farmersville did them. Nice guy.
    Thanks GeeMann.........
    Robert - I was getting bored with it............had to do something, and I was just happy it wasn't another tranny job. hehehehe
    325w, that's a secret. My form of theft deterent.
    Thanks Danny, it your fault. Figured why I had the generator off, just a few more bolts, and I could replace header gaskets, then one thing led to another, then ultimately a lighter wallet.
    Thanks guys - nice to actually get something done for a change.
     
  14. I've always liked your truck,,and the generator does look better.:D HRP
