No progress this week end. I did start it and pulled it out because Jimmythompson1964 stopped by to check it out. It's always nice to meet others that have a love for these old trucks. It was nice to meet you and your daughter Jimmy. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I missed it somewhere in here, but what did the seats come out of and how do they fit? I'm 6'2 and with the factory bench there is not much room for the legs!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
OK guys...I was able to stop by and see Alan's labor of love and the pictures do not do it justice. I hade a 7 hour ride to get back to KY last night and I kept going over the attention to detail he has done to his truck. It is a trophy truck for sure :metal: I love the tail gate, the bed wood the dash and interior and it sounds good open headers as well. Hey Alan next visit maybe a ride around the block to really get me drooling :frog: Really enjoyed spending a few minutes talking truck with ya, Hope to see ya this spring

:bling: I got stuff in the mail today and had to install first thing. I got inside door handles, B pillar trim, door sills, wiper switch (not installed yet). BTW if you didn't know already (I didn't) the B pillar trim comes with the bracket on the rear that is rivited on. I seen several times people asking where to get them. The driver side fit great compared to the passenger. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Doin really good, but bored to death. All the work I have to do right now is heavy duty, and very dirty. I started to work on light stuff trying to use my left hand only. I'm even thinking of doing a little on my truck. Stuff that won't hurt my right hand. Can't even post pictures though. My build thread is still CLOSED. :uhmk::waah:
I might have to start a new thread to continue with the documentation. ;) |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I always wondered what happened to old threads.:mm::waah: People must be getting sick of the guy in the orange truck driving around with a big silly grin on his face.:lol: Have you used up all your insured miles yet? Have you picked any dates for your first car show? You know, like a deadline that you have to have everything by.:mm:

Everything I wanted and need from them is discount immune. After a week of pouring thru their online catalog I just tossed the coupon. I was pretty disgruntled with them by that time LOL. I am seeking the parts now from other vendors or original manufacturers because of it. I guess I should go uncheck the email options from my CI account now, 20% would almost cover the some of the shipping up to Alaska. Congrats on the progress, those sail trims look good!! |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Wow I just looked. That side trim is expensive $192.00?? :uhmk:

I got the Year One for the Camaro parts, looking at things like the headers, and the '69 hideaway head light set ups. With a 20% discount coupon in hand I was looking at making a 500-1k $$ order, now they can just piss off.... Marketing ploys suck. Marketing promotionals that are honest are cool!! ----the world according to me. :metal: |

Well the time has come after nearly 5 years of nuturing she will be leaving my care for some one else. :haha: Got ya. I'm having a roll back come get it and take it to K & C Muffler in Dawsonville. Then if I'm brave enough I might drive it 10 miles back to my work to finish up a few things. I feel there is something amiss with the engine. I need to recheck the valve adjustment to see if it's right. |

I been holding my breath on your build for over a month now, expecting each time I log in to see your last post on this truck. Some video of you zipping down a country lane into the sunset, big smile on your face, and waving out the window shouting "good bye and good luck!" to the rest of us on our builds. The idea of you selling it before you really drove it is enough to make Conan cry. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I did the break in process with break in oil.
I really don't k ow what's going on. I started it to load it on the rollback and it was popping out of the exhaust and would t pull itself on the roll back. When I got to the muffler shop it ran and didn't pop. It also pulled up on the lift at the muffler shop. I'm not sure what I is yet. Once I get it back to my shop I'll pull the valve covers off and check the rockers Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

When you install the 400 crank the oil pan has to be clearanced. I did that, but I don't remember spinning the crank once I boltedthe oil pan down. It's hard to tell in the video what it exactly sounds like. It's kind of a hollow sound. Here are the pics of the exhaust. He does really nice work. He had a hard time getting over the long pan hard bar. That's why they aren't symetrical over the axle. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
well, that sucks about the motor...i really hope it's only minor setback and relatively easy fix...on another note, the exhaust looks really nice! definitely looks like quality work
|
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Exhaust looks great alan. Sorry to hear about the motor. I know this wouldnt cause the poping or power loss but a cracked flywheel can make a knocking noise also. My buddy had one crack on his camaro when we were in high school and it sounded like a rod bearing knocking. Just a thought. Hope it turns out to be something simple. good luck.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Exhaust looks great. Good luck with that motor gremlin.

I stuck a screw driver to the block with it running and put my ear to it, nothing abnormal. As soon as I touch the pan I could feel it in the screwdriver. I had to stick my ear to it and it sounded like a machine gun. I'll pull the valve covers first and check things out there to make sure my cam is ok. |
