nice ryan...lookin good...
when can u help me with mine lol....

 

[Ryan]

As soon as you help me with my bonded title! I just got off the phone with the guy. This is going to be a great experience!

 

[lowroder]

yes it will be.....

 

[mitchs66]

You guys have a different out look on great experience than I do Doing great on the build Ryan.

 

[Ryan]

YO!!!! It's been a while. Well, I got my bill of sale and took the girl to get weighed. Truck weighs 2,020lbs. I ran my brakes and mounted my pedals last week. I need to get my appraisal from my buddy that works at a dealership, and then off to get my bonded title. I have a title company that has done this before so it makes it a little easier. All I need to do is run my electrical, put my steering column in, run my gas tank and my compressor setup for my airbags and we are puttin' down the road. [

that is a great looking truck!

 

[Ryan]

Finally cut all my panels to box in the back of the bed and installed the fuel tank. Dang that took some welding. If anyone knows where to get some good compressors/tanks/solenoids for my bags, shoot me the info. Time to run fuel lines and electrical.

 

[Ryan]

This is gonna be fun

Heh, I have to laugh... perhaps I'll post a pic of my harness when I get into that...
That looks just perfect to me, 10-12 or so wires!

BTW, great looking ride so far... someday I want to build a rat from a similar body.

man you are doing such a clean nice job and being your first build is what has started me feeling like I can do this more and more so far I have everything to start up my first build and will be sooner then later.
I know you can figuree out the rats nest of wiring[P

 

[Neverdone]

Exactly, besides if you run into a snag with the wiring, there are a ton of people here willing to help out!

Well its been a while but she is almost road worthy. All I need is a seat, seatbelts and a windshield and we are rolling......and a title. I can't get a bonded title because I don't have a VIN number or motor number. Ideas???? I'm in Texas.. Added a few pics. I cleaned up my whitewalls also. It will be the only time water gets on this truck unless it rains. hahaha

Your truck looks great. I wish I had one to drive around and annoy the BMW crowd. My daily driver is a Dodge Cummins that makes most people roll up their windows at a stop light.They would drop dead if they heard your truck.

 

[Ryan]

Yeah, it gets pretty loud. I also put a fire truck air horn while I put in the airbags. I will try to put a youtube video link in here next week. I had to order a new carb. Edelbrock makes the 94 series carbs but everyone is out. I found one up in the midwest. Should have it here by Monday. Really didn't want to spend the money but better than having the motor turn to hell while I'm out driving.

Great looking truck.

 

[Ryan]

Just got the seats and belts installed. Thanks for the great work from MG Upholstery in San Antonio, TX. Gives it the "old school" look. I get my windshield back tomorrow from having glass put in, and then we are ready for the inspections. ROAD READY.....BUT NEVER FINISHED!!!!

 

[Ryan]

Shifter, windshield, and new steering wheel are in. Time to go get this thing inspected/registered tomorrow. Gonna be a fun weekend.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Looking pretty sweet!

 

[CORPO]

congrats man... you built one nice little truck!
