i think that'll be "icing on the cake" for the body...should break up the orange nicely and tie it all together

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I have an old door that has the holes. I will make a template off of it for a starting point. The bed and cab already have the holes. I just need to drill the doors and fenders.

:agree:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I do so love your dash and if I ever do another pu I will be coping big time,, hope you don't mind.
Well I know what you mean about being color blind, when I wired the 57 I had the headliights wired backward and when you put on the four way flasher the dash lights blinked.. Almost fell out ot the truck I laughed so hard... Took me a while to figure out what I'd done wrong.. Three weeks of looking and 5 miminutes to fix..

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'm color blind also. Good thing my wife isn't... :haha:

I can't wait to see it all together. You'll be TOTM for sure. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:metal: Lookin' awesome Alan!!!! After all the work those little detail things can be a PITA.

I think I'm x4: cant wait for the hood!!:smoke:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The dash wasn't my idea, I got it from somewhere else. ;) :lol: at the dash lights blinking. ;)

I hope I can make TOTM someday.

Thanks, the little things can really make you feel that your not making any progress. ;)

Drove it again today, but it wasn't warmed all the way up. It did run better. I feel like if I stomped on it, it would have back fired thru the carb. No proof to that. The total advance with vac adv disc is 36* with about 14* base and 56* total with everything hooked up.

I took some better pics today so I can send to Mar-k, for customer rides. i found one that turned out really nice. EDIT: It looks better in a bigger pic.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I thought I heard you terrorizing the neighborhood today.:lol:

The truck looks good with the fenders mounted. Keep up the good work.;)

TOTM, TOTY, Mar-K, truck publications etc. etc........ I'm sure all your hard work will pay off for you in the future.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Ooooooooo

SHINEY !!

You have certainly built something you can be proud of, as many of the guys on this site are doing.
But this one is yours, and it sure looks damnfine !!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looks real good Alan. How is your hood coming along?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Very nice. Have you hit any high speeds yet?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I didn't think you were home. :haha:

Thanks buddy!!

:thumbs: The hood progress is very slow lately.

35MPH :metal:

I saw these Light N Bolts for tag lights on Drtyrat30's truck and had to have some.

They came in today.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan,
I first read Ronnie’s build seeing he is from my home town and soon discovered I have been to his shop while it was being built. That got me interested in your build so I have spent much time over the last 3 weeks reading about the journey with your truck. While it has had its ups and downs it has given us all a window into your life and your build, it has also put into perspective what it takes to truly build a show quality truck. I am just beginning my build and you have made me back up and really think this build through. I do not have the resources that you have at my disposal. I have most of the tools at home and most of the skills but for sure time money and resources will drag my build out even longer than yours. So I am reevaluating my options, thanks for the window into your build and the insight into planning a realistic build for myself. I pass through north GA every other week heading back to work in Lexington KY and would love to drop by and see your work in person. I am really enjoying this web site and will try to make the next event to meet some of the members, keep up the great work and maybe we will meet soon.
:cool:

Not sure why my signature link doesn't work

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

When it comes up, there is no : after the http. If you put that in it works, so you may need to remake the link, or add the : into it there.


Truck is looking GREAT Alan!! Keep up the good work! :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=506973Thanks I will try it

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Got it

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Jimmy, just give me a heads up before you head this way. I'm usually home during the weekends. Hope your not let down when you see it in person. ;) Our next get together is in my signature. Thanks again for the kind words and good luck in your build and welcome aboard.

Thanks, I'm trying to hold it together. I'm on the home stretch.

I contacted several insurance companies and have decided to go thru AAA. To me it's the best deal for me. To cover 60K agreed price for a year is $431. I'm with progressive now and AAA can rewrite my daily drivers with progressive and I can save $240/yr.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again... AWSOME !!!!!!:metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::me tal::metal::metal::metal::chevy:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, have your tried USAA insurance? They are stickly for veterans and their families. I have them for all my auto and home insurance and I have had a great experience with them. They are also affiliated with Progressive.

Anyway, great looking truck. Can't wait to see it complete.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I HAVE Hagerty, seems good price and i've not hear any Pita about them..
By the way Alan, I must have missed something but I though that the tailgate was going to have Chevrolet in raised lettters... ??? just curious..

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Thanks. :haha:

No I didn't, I checked with them a year ago and they weren't the cheapest.

Hagerty was $710/yr

No, I wanted a slick TG.

I finally got it registered and the 1965 tag can be put on it.

I also got a quote for a full exhaust system with Flow master 2 chambers and 2 1/2" $475-500. I don't think so. i will keep shopping.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

hey Alan, that's who my wife got mine through...she works in insurance, and when we lived in FL that was who they went through for antiques at her workplace...you could check direct with them or see if an agency nearby is affiliated....if you haven't settled on anything yet, it can't hurt to check

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Seems awfully high for your vehicle... Mine is stored about 7 months a year, you know rain,snow,ice, salt, weather stripping not installed... LOL I've owned her for 15 years and never has she seen a drop of rain. and knowing the PO I know he never got her wet either.. Then she was stored in a garage for 20 some years before that.. Last titled date for her was in the early 60's..according to the PO. I've only got to sort out some small issues and she could be a DD.. NOT...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Doess the AAA price allow you to drive whenever you want or are there restrictions? I know Haggerty requires it to be mainly show use...if you got into a fender bender in a Home Depot parking lot you'd have a chance they'd deny the claim...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I forgot about Chubb. I've already paid AAA for a year. Thanks tho. ;)

Are you referring to exhaust or insurance?

Can't be used as a daily driver. I'm allowed 6000 miles a year. That wasn't my choice. It goes from 1000/yr to 6000/yr. They said I can't drive it to work. I told her I need to drive it to work to finish it and it will stay there a week or two. She sent me a form that I fill out and fax to them stating it will be stored somewhere else for a couple weeks instead of my home.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The insurance nightmare is bugging me, but the truck is looking great.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Kevin!!

Got some slick sand on the top side of the hood today.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The hood is looking good...hurry up and shoot some paint on it I am planning on stopping by this Sunday to see your baby :truck: If you are at home Sunday afternoon:exit:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It figures, I'm able to work on my hood some and the next day we get covered up. That's a good thing at least pay check wise.

I should be around Sunday afternoon. Hope your not disappointed when you see it in person. ;)

Thanks to jonzcustoms I'm able to close my glove box now. Thanks, Jon!!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

glad to help!

Why would I be disappointed...only if you are not at home or something happens and I can't come by...then there will be disappointment big time :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

truck is lookin great alan, congratulations on a near complete truck i am super envious. the price on your insurance didnt seem all that bad to me but its the restrictions that stink, and the hood is looking great as well, super glad it worked out for you.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan i have been watching this build for a long time and havent commented but i want to say super nice work you do!!!great build and great truck thanks for the pictures!!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Things always look better in pics. :lol:

Thanks Flip, started blocking the hood so far so good.

Thanks for the comments!!

:thumbs:

I got a set of horns, but have to remove the grill to mount them, or i could mount them down in the frame.

Also got the license plate and light n bolts mounted. I really like them.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

i like the license plate lights...saw where you picked up that idea from Jesse...been thinking about getting a year of make plate for mine as well

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Those are the brightest plate lights I have ever seen. I like those they really light up the plate.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan here's my exhaust, think I'm just going to end mine with turn downs.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Sounds good Ronnie. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Can't wait to see that hood and trim in place. Awesome truck!
