good deal. no burnouts and they should last a long time.

Now, I don't know how well the boy will follow that advice. Ha!

Fresh coats of Raptor-Liner - hides a multitude of sins....

luv them tubs. and yes it does.

Another step closer. Off to the muffler shop to close up the open exhaust.





Short clip of it in motion...

My son works at a powder coat and fab shop (spyderindustries.com) so we worked the dents out of this tired grille and powder coated it. Not perfect, by any means (getting the defects out), but a huge improvement over what it looked like before. Stripping, sanding, and polishing the old one just wasn't practical. We'll paint the blacked out areas back in.

That looks really nice.
Will even be better with the black out.
I have the same grill in rather poor shape.
I'm hoping to it get half that nice.
The whole project is turning out great.
It's been fun to watch the progress.
Thanx.

I like it!! Thanks for giving me the idea to make mine nicer. Truck is looking AWESOME!

Thanks, man. How's yours coming along?

It's been slow this past year, but finally got it running and a few things wrapped up with some help from a friend. Once it comes back from paint....FULL STEAM AHEAD

Another shot of grille showing comparison...

Finally wrapping things up. We set a goal and deadline to be primarily complete (for now) in time for a local car show called Wings & Wheels yesterday.

Very brief video clip in transit to the show...

We were parked next to a 440 powered 1941 Dodge Power Wagon - Military

Dang! the truck turned out beautiful.

Very nice.

Thanks guys!

Nice truck! What year Mustang tank did you use? I'd like to do that mod on my '85 D-150 and ditch the plastic tank

I don't recall the exact years for the application - 60-something. It's a 22 gal tank from Mustangs Unlimited (via ebay). It came with a sender and even has a drain plug. Details are here: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1624555/3.html

The rubber neck and cap we used came from Tanks Inc.



All this required some kind of vent system which we did by running a line from the filler neck over and up inside the bedside.

what kind of coil overs did you end up using?

QA1's

Did you shoot that or roll it on? and how many coats?
