Bringing my warlock back to life part II

I had a post a few years back that I wanted to get my warlock back running but its bin a few years and its gone now. I've had this truck for over 20 years was my first car. I painted it 6 times soon to be 7. Its had at least 6 different engines that I remember big and small blocks sticks and auto's. Its bin around 12 years since it moved under its own power. I did have it running 3 years ago but had to finish my house. I wanted to just make it move again but it quickly escalated. The current engine is a ex Nascar Iroc serious 353 dry sump its got brodix heads and a x block lots of high tech stuff inside. It has a viper 6 speed. Rear is a 8 3/4 4.88's with ladder bars.

I ended up buying a new blaster that when this started to get out of had. Off came the body.

what was I thinking

not so rusty anymore

staring to go back togeather some

?

where I'm at now

you adding the steering box brace?

I thought about a steering box brace. The frame was actually cracked and welded by the box years ago after one of the times I crashed it. I cant make up my mind if I want to change the whole front suspension. I might end up with a whole late model clip with a rack.

Love the cab " holder/roller/awesome piece of ingenuity "...

That frame is looking good. I plan on doing mine before I try my hand at body/paint on my truck. I won't be pulling the cab though, probably just pull the bed and have to work my way around everything up front.

keep us posted on your progress

I blasted the cab a few weeks back ended up finding a bunch of soft spots

should have found a better cab

cut it up

patched back

more mess

fixed

this cab is not even original to the truck I changed it once in 1996 the original had a sun roof hacked in that I did not like its patched up now just needs some plastic and paint

I'm bad at updateing the pics on my project heres some new ones.

Its bin a long summer of sanding. At least the nos doors where nice.

more sanding

I took off this week to paint it. My first try did not go to good did not clean enough ended up with alot of fish eye's. Sanded it back off and sprayed again.

I have to buff out some dust but it don't look to bad.

last for now

it almost looks green in that light....

This thing is looking good! Keep it up!

Nice work. Looks good.

Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more updates.

Here are some more pics. Ended up getting every thing sprayed. Really wish i had enough room to lay it all out and spray it at once maybe next time i'll have a bigger garage. My advice to anyone trying to paint there own stuff at home is get more lights. Everyware i had a dark spot in the garage i had trouble with runs or dry spots.

forgot the pic
