Well, it's getting closer!!! Got the pickup in the garage today and set the box on it!!! Cab is all painted, still have to finishing blocking the box and paint it!!! Starting to almost start looking like a pick-em-up again!!!! Got to get it done and drive it around at least one day before I sell it!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
If it's anywhere close to how the Merc. turned out it should be nice.

Thanks Richard.... I've got a lot of subtle little mods to the truck and a ton of time in it... Just want to convert it to cash and have some real fun!!!!!! As usual, this one isn't even done yet and my mind is 3 projects down the road already!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

Got all my parts to day to put it back together. Even got a new radiator so now I can use the neck from the old one to fix up the radiator I'm building for my 26 T coupe.
I even got a few new goodies for my coupe; wood blocks for under the running boards with the correct bolts and the wood blocks which fit under the Hood Shelves.
Finally now with those few remaining new parts for the coupe, I'll be ready to take the chassis out to Dave....... sounds like I better act quickly before he takes on any more projects :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Can't wait to see pics Dave, I have been following the truck with you along time and have always liked it.
Getting alot done Tom, keep scraping on the ol' girl and befor you know it she'll be purring like a newborn kitten.
I'm not too far from finishing my 1980 Camaro. I'm trying to color sand and polish it now. After that it's just doing the interior and getting some things to personalize it.
Doing some touchups on the cab of the pickup....Long and ugly story on how they got there that I won't even get into on here....
Got some more fittings and small stuff in off the big brown truck today. Hopefully I'll get the repaint stuff on the cab done tomorrow then I'll at least be back to where I was two weeks ago before I noticed all the new "damage" on the cab....
Hang in there Tom, going to have room for the rest of your T yet!!!!!

Today I continued to remove the grease and grime off the rear axle of the Tudor, had to lay under the car and had kerosine running down my arms, splattered the floor and my face, good thing I wear glasses but I'm learning the hard way to keep my mouth shout:whacked:
I decided get the B&M turbo 400 kickdown switch kit for the truck. I have to make a bracket but the Offy intake has 2 tapped bosses right where I need them. Shouldn't be a big deal. I also got the Painless remote battery disconnect kit. The toggle switch is going to be much easier than unscrewing that knob when I park it. A fuel shutoff valve and a couple of double line clamps were also in the box from Summit. I'm getting real close to starting this engine.
I got a $30. discount coupon from Summit Saturday out of the blue. They must be worried that I haven't ordered anything in a few weeks. Anyway, I ordered online Monday morning regular ground shipping and the Fed Ex was here Tues at noon. Can't beat that for service.
Tom
First two pictures show a little more progress on the 27 T tudor.
Third picture shows the trap I set for any one or any thing messing around in the back seat.**)
Forth pictures shows what happens when you get caught...... notice the imbossed line.:LOL:
Looks a whole lot better under there now Tom! Too bad about the mouse, hope there wasn't ten more that moved in after the fueneral!!!!
Don't forget - the second one got the cheese:eek:Quote:
