Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I'm really happy with the look of it. I question the belts that they spec'd for it though....they were a little short for the setup and Jarros44 will tell you that I was out here having a fit for a while trying to get them on. I think I'll try the new board vendor that does powdercoating to get the intake powdercoated close to the finish on the pullies.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

nice try Mike...LOL

I'll take pictures of the FREE, and NEARLY FREE, pile later (chrome inner fenders anyone?). I do need some stuff to start migrating out of here.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

chrome inner fenders? not my style but interesting none the less....

I might have another set of grille trim coming... more to follow.

I'm frugal (cheapskate) so keep me in thoughts for anything that falls into that area!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I've got odd stuff like a set of powdercoated motor mounts, a center cross member, an adjustable panhard bar, a set of trailing arms, etc. I'll start cleaning house soon.

I attest, I attest, he was a raving lunatic. I think it had something to do with the past tennant and the 16 hour days...lol

Nice progress, that floor loooks good w/o rust

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

did you changed the waterpump with the new setup the rotation has reversed

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Yes, I did change the pump. One good thing about GM is that the bolt patterns are different on the two different pumps (the pulley pattern) so as hard as I tried I couldn't get the pulley onto the original one- then the light came on and I swapped pumps.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

lunatic might be an understatement....LOL

The floor looks great because of your hard work on it!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I was being nice...
Thank you, always nice to get an attaboy, but honestly I really enjoy doing that stuff

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

not going to be done today. Ran into an issue with a batch of hardener that was bad and lost a couple hours. The guys are going to sand what they have and etch everything that's done so it doesn't rust back up.

As I have gotten older my patience runs thin alot quicker than it did when I was young.
I left my manifold the way it came I thought about powder coating it but I decided against it.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

now that was funny!!!:lol:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Cab is looking great!

I like the sign in the windshield... too bad NOBODY is paying attention to it :lol:

That's one new "trick" I've learned for my next repaint. It's best to used gloves when doing bodywork. :D

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I vote to have the entire cab chromed!!!!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

you can actually have that done nowadays you know ............http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../gromegolf.jpg

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Looking great Jon. What that strange machine in the background with the white handles used for?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

:lol: puking!:puke:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Mike, I couldn't figure it out so I threw it out in the warehouse. I think it's some sort of torture device from the 80's

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Lo0ks like there may be two of them...you're one sick puppy...not one but two torture devices...and right out in the open even.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

any progress??

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

no- been working on a lengthy home project 7 days a week. Just finishing up now so I hope to get some more time on it soon

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Hey Jon, I was in North Plainfield the other night on the way back from NYC. How far are you from Marino's pizza? Had to stop to feed the kids... sorry, didn't have time to stop in though..

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

looking good , keep the pictures coming

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

no idea Mike- I live about 40 miles away so my knowledge of this area is horrible

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Thanks!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

progress??...it's been awhile!!...Hope all is well and happy holidays...merry christmas!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Nice build you have there. So whats the scoop on the 67-68 cowl hoods. Production was stoped for a period and the one I purchased was not the best for fit. I was wondering if yours have a positve fit. You should produce a cowl hood like the one in the Carter Hickman rendering. That is sleeker with the longer sloping cowl. I have my debit card waiting as soon as you have the first one available. Good luck with your build. Just to say I didn't know about you when I purchased my hood or I surely would have spent my dime with you instead. Look forward to doing business with you in the future. If you would like I will send you a free window tint kit for your truck if you decide to tint the glass. Scott A Speedy Tint Inc. www.aspeedytint.com

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

:chevy::new:what are the part numbers for the headers been looking for some like that

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Bump for an update...and to answer everyone else's questions ;)

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

have you post any new pictures lately

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Yea, we need updates!!!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

WOw...sorry; I guess I should subscribe to my own thread so I know when there's activity here. Nothing really going on with the build; it's too cold out in the shop to do body work (or anything else for that matter). So- no progress.

The headers are Thorley mid-length from like a '74 Nova. I'll have to search for the number; or I think Jamie from Thorley is here on the boards.

you can change it in youre profile to subscribe to everything you comment on

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

not with a complete bed...the only thing I think you'd need to change is the tailight wiring harness but we started with no bed so I'm not certain.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Cant wait to see this truck done!:chevy:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

it's warming up a little here...I'm considering taking the cab over to a friend's shop to get it knocked out once and for all

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

If you want to truck it downt to FL, I'll finish it for you, :D.
