REALITY CHECK HERE. You will be in the near future, but it may involve cutting holes in your floor and doing the Fred Flinstone. LMAO. Sorry bud, had to. I know, I know, It feels great when it starts getting close to completion. The dream will come true after all! |

The great Southern weather visited this weekend and made working outside really nice. I was able to get a few things done and spend a huge amount of money in the process. Had my paint guy come by and do some work getting rid of the rocker and cab problems and a couple of other things.
Got the breather cover and valve covers in primer and got em sanded and put a little paint on the breather cover. Attachment 553966 This paint looks incredible in the sun. The 327 emblems really set it off, but if I had it to do over they may not have been installed. I may have just pinstriped it a little. Attachment 553967 Here it is. Finally! And still not complete. Some of the items he installed were needed, like the Corvette 1/8 in springs and hardened locks to handle the bigger cam. I chose to go with the roller rockers and comp rods along with, of course, a double roller timing chain. The 66 Vette manifold that I bought for it may not be used because of the carb that is going on it, that's why there isn't a manifold on it yet. Attachment 553968 Had to get a pic with the valve covers on it, too bad they are still in primer. Attachment 553969 It was really windy this weekend and even covering the cab really well we still had a little overspray get on it. No biggie, it was really light and should buff off easily.

Here is another pic that made me change my mind on using the krinkle paint, it just looks too good to paint. So I think I will buy the solid chrome instrument bezel to match the glove box door.
Attachment 553971 Here is a close up of the rocker panel, it blended well and with the candy on it was hard to tell what was done. Attachment 553972 |

LOOK!! I have proof I do something occasionally!:lol:
I sanded and primed the inner fenders and got them ready for paint. Was gonna paint em black but decided to paint em the body color. Attachment 556879 Found the perfect intake for my engine, it is an aluminum reproduction of the 68 - 69 Z28 and 70 LT1. Even has the "snowflake" and the Chevy bowtie emblem on it just as the originals. It is a high-rise and is really tall, hope everthing fits under the hood. Attachment 556881 The old school valve covers look great and the breather really makes the engine look modern, think it's a good mix of old and new. The headers should fit in the frame without trimming according to my measurements but I won't know for sure till next weekend when I install it. Also concerned about the HEI and firewall clearance with the breather installed. |
