Build pics part 4, the snorkel part was longer but it throw off the balance of the whole things so I shorten it by 3 or 4 inches, so now the balance is a lot better.

That came out really nice!
I learned about paint compatibility the hard way on some art projects a few years ago. Even though I used the same brand and type of color and clear coats, I did have some issues. Preparation is key on any painting projects!

Thanks for sharing the pics of the process. I bet your neighbors had choice words when you took hammering...lol...

@DoubleDingo, Actually I don't think I bugged my neighbors much. Between me and the guy the lives down the block from me is just as loud as I am. So I'm pretty certain that our neighbors are used to me and him making a bunch of noise. Lol

Really cool! Thanks for sharing and sharing your engine. I’ve never seen one of those. I didn’t know the variety of engines they had. I have an 84 Silverado with a 305. I knew the original owner and he had the original owners manual. I never knew these trucks had anything but V8’s. As for your creation I would pin stripe it and clear coat it. Or looks great as is.

Thanks @bucket I started designing what I was thinking of in January, I want to say I started making it together in April. I worked on it off and on from that point on. I could have finished it sooner but due to family matters I just couldn't put as much time into as I would have like too. I got pics of the build process and the first sketch designs I drew up if you would like to see them. I also have an idea for a cup holder that I would like to build since I don't like any of the cup holder I see on the market for a square body or in general for a bench seat vehicle.

I'm interested in the cup holder design you came up with. I'm not a fan of any of the ones out there either
