Patagonia man. That rear end was prized by muscle car peeps back when gas was 0.25 a gallon.

They had slicks on road cars. Replaced by an electric golf cart with a stereo. Yuppie.

At least we are trying to help peepad. :smiley: Who cares if about the blinker fluid, when it runs out just stick your arm out the window.

I gotta replace the rotary gerter on the incline first. Then I’ll get to the rest of your list…

How many miles on that truck? The gears/teeth look great. I would imagine you know to look at the C clips. I learned about them when my bud threw an axle showing off.

They had a show on MOTORTREND this weekend on rear ends. It was pretty well done and they did it without extravagent tools.

Nice work and great rebuild.

Less than 1000…

That’s what you told Pee Pad. I see used car/truck sales in your future.

I’m just checking in to see if this new sheepshead reef has been deployed yet. Please make sure that I get the coordinates when that happens, but Ricky, we can just keep it between the two of us. You know guys like Peapod, Bonzo and the likes of those will just overfish it and junk it up.

I’ll gladly tell Peepod where it is. That man hasn’t seen a fishing pole since the Clinton administration…

How is getting laid different than jumping a poon?

Statistically speaking, getting laid would have a higher occurrence than jumping a poon in SC/Ga…unless you look like Pea Pod.

After some serious cleaning, the original hubcaps have been painted. Letting them dry for a few days and then I’ll clearcoat them. I’m debating on if I should paint the GMC red or leave it white…its supposed to be red, but I’m kinda digging the white letters for some reason. Nothing else on the truck will be red except for the badges and I’m thinking about removing those as well. I’ll leave it up to a vote of the fine people of CF.com

Original Condition:

This is the nastiness that came off the original caps.

Handpainted

I’ll do the forth one tomorrow night. One has rust issues; I’ll still need an additional one so keep you eyes open for me. I don’t care about the condition; I just need one extra.

Red. It will stand out a bit. Looks great by the way!

B.O.A.T. Bust Out Another Thousand!

Just don’t paint them Clemson orange!

I like the white…but red would match the Pods neck.

The ENTER-NET Fisherman

get your model airplane paint out and go red then clear coat em.

the red imo will really stand out.

I got some stuff completed this weekend…
