The Meximobile

Looks like the notch, bridge and 4-link are done right.

Got a call from the machine shop, 2 of the rod ends got egged from the spun bearings and they've got to bore the block over. Hooray, more money to spend.

Well brian it looks like you are doing some good to it!! And yea i saw it in person and it's not so great but will be very soon it looks like! Hey brian i got a fuel injection turbo set up for that motor if you wanna go in that direction.

I guess you don't need that speedo cable anymore since your going with after market gauges?

My swap will be going pretty smooth in a few days when i get the tranny member. After that i just need a drive shaft, fuel cell, shifter, wiring harness, computer re-programmed, and other misc stuff and she will be back on the road for about a week then coming back in the garage for some body work.

nice truck, looks like your makin some quick progress, keep up the good work!!

Went to Pull A Part. Picked up a second dash (just in case), heater control, crank pulley, and timing sprocket and various electrical connectors.

Powdercoated the engine blocks and those brackets that hold the bottom of the tranny.





Finished ripping the wiring and carpet out of the truck. I hope my wiring harness comes on Monday.

More updates. Got the oil pan powdercoated. Ran out of powder, refills should be here Tues or Wed. Interior is gutted except for the back wall and the headliner. They'll be out ASAP. Wiring harness should be here tomorrow so I get to start that goodness.

nice progress man. i wish i had a powder coating machine. one day, one day. haha.

i like the truck

Did half of the floor of the cab with "sound dampener"

Finished the passenger's side, the rear wall and the rear pillars.

Gauges came today. Think I'm going to recess them in the dash slightly.

man where in the a do you live? id like to get some things powder coated
