Re: What did you do to your SY/TY today?

Is this the plan now... rebody the truck one panel at a time?

Pretty much how I am doing the Syclone lol. I need doors too. Was thinking of going to manual doors vs electric to continue my "lightweight" theme. Cant decide... Im also considering replacing my whole bed and tailgate if I find a decent rust free example.

Got the wheels back from powder coat. Its the darkest gray that they made in a satin finish. Now I have to figure out center caps.

The entire truck is being painted in a satin finish. The body is black, the cladding will be matched to the wheels. Going for the stealth look.

while timing my truck turing the motor over by hand the damm bolt on the crank striped out how much of a hassel will this be to fix.

Re: What did you do to your SY/TY today?

That is going to be a bitch to get out.Crank bolts are hardened steel. Using the bolt to press the balancer back on is the worst thing you can do. Try taking the pulley back off to see if maybe you have a couple of threads poking through. If you're lucky you can get a set of vice grips on it. If its broken inside, a cobalt left handed drill bit will probably work, you are going to have to pull the core support, radiator, condenser to use the drill. Or pull the motor and take the crank to a machine shop, or buy a remanufactured crank at a parts store for about the same price. My dad's 350 broke a bolt inside the crank, bought a reman. crank with undersized bearings for $90 and we had the truck together and running that same afternoon

Looks good. What did you do for the rears? Those rotors look similar to the ones I have. Where did you get them?

Sure why not, :lol:

Actually my buddy broke the door handle off the driver side and the door-skin was separating anyway. So I robbed a door off one of the other typhoons and put it on, but then my locks did not match so I swapped on the other door aswell.:tup:

:rotf: I am picturing it in my head...standing there at the emissions spot going "WTF? Your stuff is whack!"

Make it even more interesting and show up there after a few beers like you do in the chat room.

Changed the water pump and put in a 160* T-stat. Made a bigger difference than I would have thought!
