Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking sweet!! things have been on a roll I have not checked in lately, and man what a lot of progress shes got to be getting close to being finished now!! ( I know they are never finished but you do get close sometimes)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey Alan,

You are my hero and I want you to adopt me so I can inherit your truck. :c2:

I hate to be a DUMBASS (that's what my mother affectionately called me), but I can't see any plumbing to the A/C pump. You have more than impressed me with your innovative technology as you always do such trick stuff, so who knows.???

I paged back thru the NOVEL but couldn't find it, so what did I miss....? DUH:hh:

Blinded by the brilliance, lost in my own fog. :uhmk:

aka: Danny

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks again Dennis!!

Thanks Kevin, it is definately close.

Danny, the AC and heat might be a winter project if I don't get to it before then. If my plan works you won't be able to see much of the hoses. BTW thanks!!

All the trim is in place. I just need to remove the door trim panels to install a few nuts.

I also got the lights in the hood wired, just need to clean it up some. I didn't do the sliding door contacts for several reasons. I'll get some pics of the wiring when i finish it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I know what you will be driving on 4-21.
Congrats on a great build that gives us alot of great inspiration.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Man those last little details make all the difference. One very COOL truck.

:metal: :thumbs:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You're almost done with your truck, So what's next? Do you have any other projects in the wingshttp://wtriders.com/WTR/Smileys/default/icon_shrug.gif

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yes Sir, that's the plan!! ;)

:thumbs:

The bad thing is most will not noticed all the little details, but it pays off when people notice.

I can't afford another project like this. Maybe it will bring me some work. I'm still plugging away at the Mustang. One thing i plan to do is get caught up on all the builds here. I've neglected the board for the past 2 months due to me trying to get this thing ready for the cruise and parade.

No progress today, but Monday I hope to get it on the alignment rack. Then get it back home.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

What's funny is, I have the work but no time to do my own..:waah: :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

He can come help finish mine ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Ronnie,

He's already got experience on the 60-66 body style, now he needs to practice on a 67-72, preferably a '69.:lol:

Keep up the good work Alan.:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

that truck has turned out great very nice!!!!! i love all the details you put into it gets my mind moving:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

This thread should be in the FAQ section titled How to completely rebuild an entire 60-66 truck and do it right. Nice job Alan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You have plenty of help Ronnie. Alan can come visit here in So Cal for a while, and help me finish mine..:haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I've seen it too many times, bodymen with their own projects sitting in the corner. I vowed to myself that that wouldn't happen. ;)

See bottom line. ;)

Thanks neighbor, when do you want to start on yours?

Thanks and be careful when your mind is moving. It prolongs your project. :lol:

Thanks :metal:

All expenses paid?? :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Man!!

:thumbs:

Thanks!! It's very photogenic. ;) Those recent pics really make it look nice.

:thumbs: We should have a good time. The rain might have an effect on it.

???

I don't know who might know this, but it's a nice little tip for adjusting valves. If you have ever adjusted valves on a running engine you know what I mean. I cut some old valve covers and used some old gaskets. No more oil running down the back of the block and onto the exhaust.

Ronnie also edited on of my recent pics, and it really pops. Thanks Ronnie!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Your welcome ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It's great to see you finally driving your truck Alan. All your hard work and attention to detail shows. Now to just get that TOTM win......I know who I'll be voting for :)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

They also make these oil deflector clips that work good also.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks John!! Praying for a win. ;)

:haha:

I've got those also, but the oil still runs out the corners and comes off the rocker tips onto the headers.

Thanks guys!! I really appreciate it.

Thanks to Gregs65 for this video. We were on our way to the Chewin the Fat BBQ and PoBoys cruise in.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
