7 Days and the clock is ticking. :D OVERHAULIN 4x4 Style :D

I know the feeling. I got a little too happy with the wire cutters removing an old Viper Car alarm form my K5. Now its voltmeter time to figure out what got cut by accident. Atleast I have a back up plan for Tellico....

6 Days left :D Need pics of progress :D

well, just taking a lunch break...

Got the motor/tranny in, but the heads are hitting the fire wall, and it appears the oil pan is hitting the cross member. As it sits now, the motor is back out, and the crossmember is out. I'm going to bolt the cross member to the motor mounts to make sure everything will fit. I also need to persuade the fire wall:D

Pics will come as the day closes.

And the crowd starts to chant "Steve.Steve.Steve.":rolleyes:

I hope to have the t-case, exhaust, fuel lines, radiator and all in by monday.

Looking good Steve. If I get the m1008 next week, we can be 6.2 buddies :D .

You are inspiring Steve...thinking of a plan to build the 1008 in a weekend...minus the 465 conversion of course...

Are you getting the black one from Johnny(4x4K20)?

What are your plans, I might have to come down and help:D
My wife has a friend in Lexington she could go see:thinking: :whistle:

At this point it looks like it is so. But I don't wanna jinx it.

5 Days left :D Tick Tock :D

Didn't get to work on it today, but tomorrow, its on!!!:D

Get to work Steve!

I've broke the tradition today.....my rig is ready to be loaded, instead of the usual night before rush. I finished the new exhaust, fixed ps, new ubolts and spring plates. Then installed the gooseneck hitch on the old F350. Just need to pack the tool boxes and load the truck.:wink1:


Oh yeah,

















Get to work Steve.

Hey John...







































...come help:D

Hey Steve..........................

I wish I was working on it...I need to be working on it...:crazy:

Man I need a shop at my apartment:D

Atleast I'm moving and have plans on building a shop:wink1:

Also yesterday, with a little help from CB, I got the kingpins rebuilt and removed the overloads from the front to help clearance the draglink.:p:



























get to work Steve!

Working, just not on my blazer yet. I hope to have the afternoon free though:D

Hmmm... Is drive train complete? only 4 days left :D

Taking a supper break.
Doing alot of little stuff.

Put the power steering pump on, glow plugs in, ran some hoses, made 2 trips to the parts house...

I hope to get one more hr in tonight...throttle cable, make a plate for wiring, and maybe set the radiator in...

Dang, you're git'n 'er dun!!!



I had the tires rotated n balanced, welded the loose tailpipes, ground n welded, painted on the tire carrier, loaded/rearranged the tool locker in the truck, and painted a palm tree................

Beach baby, beach baby..............................:wink1:

3 Days to go :D Any new pics ?

Sorry, no new pics, but progress was slow yesterday. I was only able to work on the power steering a little and the t-case. I got some metal today for my battery tray and hold down. I'm hoping to weld that up, run battery cables, empty gas tank, make a plate to cover heater opening, mount primary fuel filter and electric fuel pump and plumb it all.

If I get all thet done, then I'll get to work on glow plug wiring and mounting the radiator.

Soo much to do, I might have to take thursday off:D

Wish I could help..............been busy myself and have to work twelve hours today and tomorrow. Good luck, my friend! We're pulling fer ya! :bow: :bow: :bow:

2 Days left :D Chop Chop :D

Steve dont let these guys bring you down. We can have a "1st gen thanksgiving run" this year (hopefully). That way we can invite all of the guys with "new trucks" along.:D Of course we will have to invite the guys with tow rigs (John and James:wink1: )

Well, I only got to work until 5 today...

I got the fuel lines ran, emptied the gas tank, finished the power steering lines, connected the vaccume lines, and made some battery cables.

I'm going to jump on it in the morning and hope fully fire it off... Then I'll have to mount the boggers, weld mufflers to the exhaust pipes(hmmm straight pipes:D) I have a full day ahead of me.

Sounds good Steve! Git-er-done!! BTW Your tranny/t-case is in transit.:D

See ya there!

Clay

Thanks Clay:D

I'm going to work on my blazer all day today:whistle: :1zhelp:
