It helps when you can be picky on which welds to take pictures of

Looking like I might be able to keep the ol demon! Anyways figured I’d keep plugging along on it either way. Lots more body work done, frame connectors installed, floor painted with Por-15.

Fellas, as life does it happens. It is looking like I may have to get rid of the car few questions for the experts: what would a fair price be as she sits? Would it be worth finishing bodywork and getting it primed before listing it? I don’t wanna sell her. I’ve had it since I was 16 but like I...

I love to hear this! I did indeed clean and etch with the POR-15 products before shooting the paint! Hope I have as good of results!

Pot-15 is down. Still need to get it on the engine bay,floor pans, and trunk. Getting there

****. Not what I wanted to hear considering I already have the POR-15.

Few more rust patches tonight, then rolled er over and getting prepped for por-15. Gotta pick up some supplies tomorrow and hopefully get it cleaned/degreased tomorrow

Sure is! Little bit of rot on the frame at the very back where the bumper attaches, should be an easy fix.

Spent most of today getting the underside cleaned up and ready for paint

Spent the morning getting the fuel lines and brake lines removed. Then started scraping off all the old undercoating. Got most of it off. Plan is to clean the underside good and POR-15 it. Thoughts on this? Is there a better product?

Sure could! Thinking I’ll probably shoot it myself!

Had a local welding shop bend em for me!

Got her up in my homemade rotisserie, time to get rid of the rot and rust on the bottom side. Gonna install frame connectors while it’s easy to get to, also working on applying body filler to panels I’ve replaced. Slow progress but still inching forward!

Fellas, I picked up this demon back in 2013. I was 16 and it was my first car. It took many hours working on the family farm in order to finally have the cash to get it. I drove it home grinning ear to ear. Fast forward a few years and my little brother wrecks his first car. A Chrysler 300. And...

Got her back fellas and damn she runs good! More pictures to come soon! In the meantime I am going to dig into the Demon! New build thread to come!

Fellas, Bad News. Went for the first test ride. Went smooth...for 15 miles. Rear seal of the tranny went out. Tranny ran dry and ka-boom. Bad day #1. Took to a shop had it fixed professionally. Went to get it and started it up to find a wild knock in the engine. Trailered to the next shop...

Rims :usflag:

Little more progress. Wiper motor. Heater. Brake lines. Rear fenders. Rear bumper. Carb. Drive shaft. And lots of PBR.

Alright fellas here’s what’s been happening. Lots of work. Lots of frustration. And lots of beer. But she’s finally coming together.

So basically a ton of work and not a lot to show for it. I was able to get everything shot in primer and replaced the leaf spring bushings. Should have had the custom exhaust run but the manifolds I ordered didn't fit. Lost time with that. Shoulda been able to start painting or at least thinking...

And the last ones

Some more

A little progress

Oh man do I feel terrible for not keeping anyone on here updated. Everyone prolly thinks this project died long ago but life just got in the way. Since the last post I have been rather busy. I bought a house with my fiance, got married, graduated college, and now I am on a honeymoon. Progress...

Then put it all back away

Was able to head back for fall break and get a little more done on the ol project. A little help sure does go a long ways.

I guess I never thought about using a different steering shaft. I just made due with what I had. As far as a tilt column I fought myself long and hard on that. What it came down to was where I want to go with the pickup. I want it to feel like an old pickup. With that in mind I thought it would...
