88ComancheMitch Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Getting the diff cover cleaned and painted. It will be OD green, along with everything else on the truck.
Minuit Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Looks like you're off to quite a good start on this. Definitely one to follow :thumbsup:
88ComancheMitch Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Yea. I work about 35 hours a week during the night, and then have college...on summer break for the rest of this week, and then progress will slow down for a month. I'm hoping to have everything "done" by August.
88ComancheMitch Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Just messing around ^^ Getting the interior ready. The 2 places I stopped at today to get black plasti-dip were sold out. So I didn't get any. Going to go tomorrow and get some while I'm out. I'll be wrapping up some of the rest of the interior then and it will look a lot more complete. Here it is for now though...
88ComancheMitch Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Welp....gas tank should be here monday or tuesday.....
88ComancheMitch Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 While I'm waiting for the gas tank and all I figured I might as well work on the interior some. Ive said it once and I'm sure I'll say it a million times, its not going to be a show truck. Just a DD and work truck. Thats why I'm cheating on the interior with plasti dip. :-)
88ComancheMitch Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Starting to come together. Stopping for the night. Debating on painting the glove box for green and the bezel around the gauges green. Any one want to weigh in on the topic?
ComancheKid45 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I think the black/green dash would look pretty cool! Great work so far! :thumbsup:
88ComancheMitch Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks. Started painting it this morning. I'll post pics tonight
88ComancheMitch Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 Well...I would post pics, but just a PSA, self-etching primer does not mix with Plast0i-Dip....
88ComancheMitch Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 No doors! Actually removable doors...but just something to add to the fun factor
88ComancheMitch Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Old tank. Hole got massive. Not sure if I jacked it up and added to the stress crack or what.... New tank. Spray on rustoleum bad liner as a coating.
88ComancheMitch Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Definitely changing the color to tan now...I have to redo this when I get a new trim piece, but I really love this color combo...
88ComancheMitch Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 School has been killing me, and slowing down the project, but I am still working on it as I can. I got the gauges all working. Painted more of the trim. Next thing to do is rework the vacuum lines. Here's a little entertainment
88ComancheMitch Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Got bored so I swapped in the injectors I had sitting around.
collkid Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Love the got bored motivation. Seems thats the only way I do things to my truck now a day.
88ComancheMitch Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Haha, Yea, no sleep and all work and school makes me not want to do anything when I go have free time.
88ComancheMitch Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Well, not satisfied with the way this panel looks, but I LOVE this look.
88ComancheMitch Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 I think its cracked.....APN header here I come...along with a 99+ intake manifold
88ComancheMitch Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Ordering the header today. In the mean time, I flushed the front diff, and will be flushing the transfer case sometime this week/next weekend. Not quite as bad as the rear, but not good either. See the level of the fluid vs. the plug level... Cleaned up and ready for a cover and lube. Matching the rear.
88ComancheMitch Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Waiting for the header to come in, so I've been getting everything all prettied up. EDIT: Got word that the header won't ship until next week. Fuel Rail... Before After Hardware also... Heat Shield....discoloration is due to drying. It's all one color... Going to get a 99+ Intake this weekend hopefully, it will be all black. Valve cover will be tan eventually. Weekend project is homework, and if I have time, bombing the engine bay flat black. If the header comes in the mail this week I'll be installing that as well.
