Sonoma mini projects

Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:17 pm

Well since the main part of my truck is finished I thought i would start a thread for all of the mini projects i do to my truck on the weekends.

This is what my engine compartment looked like when i got the truck.

This is how it looks now.

I just cleaned everything up. Added the hood insulation, Overflow bottle, Made the passenger inner fender(still gotta do the drivers, New air filter, master cylinder cover, And a bunch of armor all.

Thanks. When I bought the truck the computer was laying on top of the engine so the first thing i did was fab up that mount that bolts to the side of the intake.

Then i had a quart of this GM poly silver left over from my 77 so i started out painting some parts.

Then one weekend i went to the junkyard and got a spare glovebox door and fiberglassed a plastic skull into it.

Over this past weekend i went to my favorite local junkyard and picked up a set of leather bravada buckets that match the color of my interior perfect.

The old seat

And the new seats

I'm working on a fiberglass sub enclosure for a single Clarion shallow 10" sub i'm having my sister order from where she works. I'll try to get some pics up later today.

Well i accidentilly found this envoy bumper at the junkyard so I guess my sonoma is getting a facelift.

It had some damage so i repaired it with SMC Bumper repair adhesive and some mesh backing.

Went ahead and shaved the license plate holder also

Figured i'd drive around a few days with it in primer before i pull it back off for paint.

nice!

thanks. I'm pulling it back off tonight to block the primer and get some paint on it. I'm going to have to watch how i drive with this bumper. The little bit that it hangs lower than my stock valence did makes a big difference. I drug the bottom of the bumper pulling into work.

Took my bumper and grill shell to work yesterday and sprayed them.

Then I went to work early and put the front of my truck back together in the parking lot.

Thanks. I like it alot. I think i'm gonna pull the mirrors off and spray them also. I have a pint of paint left from the other parts so i might as well use it.

I repainted the silver trim pieces in the interior black since those pictures too. The silver looked to cheap to me.
