Post your Resto and Rejuve Photos Here

Nicely done Fred... nicely done indeed.

I'll let you know when I'll be making a trip over there to have a look-see for myself.
 
The EGR spacer and EGR post are painted and cleared. The EGR itself, the IAC and TB are just raw.

I've still got just a little work to do on it (i.e. the corroded coolant ports and vac bracket posts) but it's for the most part done.

I'm actually a little concerned that once this thing's all together I might have just a little too much "bling".

Motor's Fully Reassembled

Although it's all back together, I've got one more item to attend to before I'll be able to leave it alone... the AC compressor pulley is off and I'm in the process of stripping it, brushing it and clear coating it. It'll look identical to the WP and crank pulleys.

Also, the core support is at the shop for paint. I actually should be getting it back today (Monday, NOV 15th, 2010).

I've still got some details to deal with in the engine compartment (which you can probably pick out in the photos) but with the core support done, the re-installation of body parts can begin... can you friggin believe it?

Been a long time comin' huh? You were well under way when I bought a Lightning and joined the site.

Couldn't take it anymore.....

I watched in horror as the lightning I Bought from my buddy was peeling in the sun. This poor thing needed TLC.........So far, it's in primer awaiting paint. I'm currently trying to find a good(not overpriced) place to pickup emblems, exhaust, 3rd brake light, roll pan, door window strips, steering wheel, mirrors....etc.....

Here's a few pics of my rear suspension resto, before and after. Frame was sandblasted and all brackets were replaced (leaf spring hangers, shock brackets, etc.) The black paint is dupont epoxy primer and ChromaOne with flattener, but it ended up being pretty glossy anyway. The silver on the tanks and other misc. small parts is Duplicolor aluminum over SEM etching primer. excuse the cables still hanging down in the last pic...

Damn nice job on the whole rear end. Turned out looking great:eek:ldtu: What type and how much drop are your hangers?
 
The hangers are Ford factory replacements, and the shackles are djm 2" drop. With the factory traction leaf removed its right around 2" lower total.
 
Bumperquip, If you don't mind me asking, what type of intake/cone filter is that and where did you get it??? Your truck looks amazing by the way!!!!

Click to expand...

Of course I don't mind...

It's a custom unit made by Chip Clarke (Madramper). He did a really limited run of them a couple years back. I think he made like 7 or 10 of 'em.

I'm not sure exactly what he's up to these days... he checks in now and then but I haven't heard from him in bit.

He may be willing to put one or two together so you might wanna try to touch base with and see what's up if you think you might want one.
