16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
I started off with a well used truck, it ran pretty decent. 16 day's later and it's on the road. Pan was full of sludge,aluminum cam gear needed replacement, no wiring, floorboards, horn,light switch, engine pans, rear end was not secured properly. I made videos of just about everything.

Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
16 days? Those shows on TV rescue total wrecks in under 4 days to make it to an important car show on the other side of the country.
Just kidding. Great result!

Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
Most of the improvement came from removing the white walls.
Might need a stripe. Same guy going there to letter a window in a Ford Garage ? |

Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
I used Miller's tire paint on the white walls, this stuff is great!
The bumper I think is a accessory from Pep boys,j.c Whitney??? Headlights were 32 ford. Truck has friction shocks all the way around. |

Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
Good job Wick! It takes me 16 days just to THINK about a big project that needs to be done. Did you paint the radiator shell or actually have a half-ton pickup shell? Those are super hard to find a good one these days that aren't all rusted out.

Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.
I painted the radiator shell with a black primer then satin black.
One thing I should add, I only placed 1 small parts order with Brattons. All the parts I needed were all ready here in my parts storage, this saved me a lot of time. |
