[metalmonkey47]

last but not least, this goes ahead of this all. Stopped by the park with a buddy to shoot his 510. Played around JAWGA style.

Okay you guys will like this one.

Visited a friend around the corner and used his fender roller to play around.





We only pulled the rear, since my fronts cleared with my current camber after doing some adjustments with a baseball bat a week before.

There is NO more lower the front can go though.




We took a TON of pictures out at a closed parking lot. Enjoy. This shows about how stretched my fenders have gotten now.

OH MY GOD that is camper shell sex! I'd totally rock it.

By the way... the orange fender, definitely staying!



On to the truck....

I fell behind updating it. My GF has been here for the last month so we've been hanging out.

Just a bunch of random pictures here for the most part.

She got me one of my favorite pictures blown up for Christmas. I love it!



About a week or so ago, I was having oil PSI issues. (Oil light came on at idle) I was about ready to condemn the bearings and pull the motor after replacing the oil pump with a high volume pump which had no effect. After changing the oil and PSI sender (again) it's all fine. Dodged a bullet there. Best part about this oil pump is that it's external, and easy to remove. Driven by the distributor shaft, so I pulled the dizzy and used a set of vice grips to hold the shaft in place. 10 min later and I have a brand new oil pump in. I'm using a KA-E oil pump, since it's a higher volume pump.

GF changing the oil PSI switch.








More in a second... I wanna separate my updates...

You can't really tell, but it's SLLAAAMMEDDD as far as these trucks go. I'm literally floating less then an inch above the bump stop. (Low profile, that is)

You haven't even made it down to the frame yet?! You're letting me down man...

[milano_red]

Yea my passenger side is slammed now, but not by choice hahaha

[metalmonkey47]

Did I see more low?

Pics or it didn't happen...

The little fucker got me once too Pretty fucked.

I've taken off the camper... for now....... I also rolled the fenders with a bat to get a little less tire rub, and moar lower of course... but first:

So I went to an antique shop just walking around (been in and out of there a lot. They're huge) and walked past these...


They're old twin trumpet horns, aging somewhere between 1920-50. Everything I've seen suggests around the 30's, but there's a possibility its later then that. The low tone works great. The high tone trumpet has an internal short and works, but very intermittent. I don't want to burn it up so I'm thinking of dissecting it to see how it looks inside. The wire jacketing has fallen apart on both trumpets so I peeled it all off and covered the wireing in nice heat shrink tubing.*

After cleaning them up with a wire brush, they came out VERY nice.

I need to find a diagram for the 6V GM relay that it came with. I don't want to blow it up if it's any good. If I can get them both working 100%, I'll wire them in a series and run them on the truck. If not, I'll donate them to a rat rod project that's starting up.*

I also have finished repainting one of my two fender badges.

Damn you and that sig.

LOL it got Jake and I too

I might have said this before but this thing really needs to be throwing sparks with the camper top on it.

It would look like a spaceship I love spaceships.
