^^ YES we do! Very Soon in fact! Over Thanksgiving sometime?

Here's a link to my youtube channel with a couple short videos of the truck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT57T9iUGlY

Just realized I haven't given an update on the truck for over a month now. Progress has slowed a bit over the last month. I'm hoping it cools off here in MN this weekend so I can go get her this weekend and continue sanding and painting. After a lot of thought I did decide on a name for her last...

Photos of the C-turbo (left) next to the D-turbo (right). A lot smaller hot side on the C, which is why it makes such a beautiful noise! I had always thought these turbos were single scroll instead of twin scroll. Twin scroll with a T4 flange for the win!

Yesterday I went and picked up a c-turbo and a few other parts from tie6044 Thanks Again Scott!! The install took about 2 and a half hours to do. The hardest part was aligning the bolt that holds the slobber tube (crankcase breather) on the oil return line on the turbo. Its kind of a weird...

Here is a cell phone pic that I snapped this morning. I'll take more with my DSLR this week of the progress. The black on the bumper is Rustolem rust converter and the white is Killz exterior primer. I thinned the primer with a little bit of mineral sprits and used my air powerd spray gun. For...

So 3 weeks later I finally have the time to work on her this weekend! Went down last night and picked her up. She fired right up as usual and she seemed rearing to go! We got caught in a heavy rain shower (first time I've ever had her in the rain) It was pretty cool, although she needs new...

This stuff. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-gal-Stripper-GKS221/100207981?N=ug#.UbCKr_nFVZE I do recommend a better sprayer bottle. I picked one up at Northern tool for 1$ and it works very well. The thinker you apply this stuff the better it works. Not sure why there are a few bad...

I tried some liquid stripper (cheap household stuff) from Home Depot (its 25ish $ for a gallon) and I used only a quart to do the entire bumper, the right fender and part of the hood. It works VERY well. Just make sure if you do use it you get a really nice set of neoprene gloves and wear a...

Another status update: Well, the weather continues to stuck around here. Pretty much has rained everyday this week and last weekend. Progress has been slow...Today is the first nice day in a while, although its supposed to storm tonight but who knows anymore. I did however get 1 mudflap...

I'm located in Burnsville.

So another update from this weekend. Of course the weather wasn't the greatest for working on the truck. However she did give me a scare. I went to start her up to take her for a cruise and one of the gaskets on an oil filter blew out....lets say I had a small oil spill like the Exxon Valdez in...

Its sand from Northern Tool. 50lb bag for $10 dollars! This stuff: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200578196_200578196

I'm going to be using Natural Cedar 1"x 4"x 12' from Menards (there like $5.50 each). I decided to go with the ones from Menards because they acturally lay their wood flat when its being stored instead of Home Depot leaning theirs against the walls to warp to ****..... There plained and sanded...

Thanks! I'm saving them for the last part so when I paint the truck I won't have to worry about over spray. I'm going to try to measure them up this weekend and draw the CAD file up!

So I tried the pressure sanding and it does work better then I thought. There is so many layers of paint on her that it is going to take longer than I expected but its going to be worth the wait. However with the kit from Northern tool the hose for the attachment is way too long so I had to cut...

Thanks, I've done a lot of reading on it and I'm crossing my fingers it works! I'm definalty going to take a lot of photos! Stay tuned for updates. If the weather holds out Tom I'm going to start pressure sanding tomorrow.

If I had the room for a 40gal. I'd pick one up, but space is limited..... Here is the one I'm looking at..... http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-15-Gal-Portable-Electric-Air-Compressor-D55168/100497924?N=c27pZ4j2#.UZPXrLXFVZE

WEEK 1: Update of my build thread! Last night I got the pressure washer at Menards. I un-boxed it and got it all ready to go (put gas, oil, and all of the other bits on it) and tried it out on my car with the cleaning tip. It works better then I expected. I cant wait to give the old girl a...

So its finally starting. This Friday will mark the 1st official day that I have actually had time to start working on the deuce this spring. The list of to-do's keeps on growing and growing. The first task on the list is to give her a fresh oil change and fuel filter change. Then the real fun...
