That looks bad ass! Get back on it! WTH are you waiting for? :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I like the bumper mod.. No one will ever even notice it ...

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

wow thats killer work ! i like it this truck is going to be over the top:metal:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

This is really looking good Wutnxt!
I am going for a similar look to the front of mine as well.
Glad for the pics, helps me visualize what mine is going to look like...
Keep it coming man.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well...It's a fact i have to have something to drive soon, way to many projects on the go and nothing is burning rubber....and thanks dude...any word on that hugger orange over there ?

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I hope it works out that way....would be great if something worked the way i wanted it to for a change....lol

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude...
I just want it nice enough to park beside one of your trucks...you have game...There isn't anything you have built thats not killer, you do great work. Thanks for the positive feedback...some days i wounder if i will finish anything...lmao

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I totally understand that! That's why I pushed the truck I was working on out side to work on my wife's truck. My Longhorn has had no work done to it since I dropped it off. There for, I'm counting on the 76 being easier to get running than the Longhorn now that I'll more than likely be bringing it back home to finish myself. Keep at it man, you too have game! :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

The new mods look great! Nice and subtle, just the way I like it. I always liked the mods where people look them and they start scratching their heads. They know that something has been done, but they just can't figure it out. That's when you know you've done it right.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

No game here.....I just swing a big hammer and bend the odd tool...lol. Well one us should finish something soon...I have heat in the shop now so that realllllly helps being motivated this time of year

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Ya thanks man...thats excatly what i am going for,something just a bit differnt then my normal look i normaly go for. I still have my fingers crossed that it's going to turn out right...

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I totally hear you on this one!!
I gots no skills ......... I have no Kung Fu
Even though my space heater keeps the garage at about 70* even on days like yesterday when it was -40* outside. But still, I may invest in a creeper, or like Veronika a long skate board ;) because that floor is still cold as ....... well use your imagination LOL !!!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I work out of town regularly where it gets into the mid -40's so i feel your pain....I just built a shop addition and stuffed a nice heating unit into and it sure makes me wanna spend more time in the shop. More room and heat with a nice smoothy shiney floor it's all good.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Ohhhh and the shop envy sets in once again !!!
Nothing like trying to roll a few hundred pounds of newly rebuilt engine and transmission on a hoist across an uneven and cracked floor to give you the scrotum check.

When I lay my shop floor it is going to be one of those like yours, smooth, shiney, hard and reinforced with rebar so I can set a lift in there if I ever get to be so lucky !!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude ....you crack me up...

Trust me i have pulled wrench in the gravel.....in the snow.....in the rain.....and it doesn't take much of a shop to make me happy....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I hear you there. My floor isn't perfect in my shop, but it beats the hell out of dirt or gravel. :lol: And believe me, I'm going to try to get the 76 running this week. Tired of pushing all the trucks around. :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Looking good man!!!

Still need to run some lines and check everything over , not to mention there is going to be alot of polishing and cleaning to do . It's amazing how dirty everything got......

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Not very good pictures..... I just took a few from my iphone....the shops a mess right now with parts and pieces. I still don't have my shop layout set in stone so I find myself walking around in cirlces looking for stuff. I really need to get some shelves in and get the place together.....but there is heat and cold beer and a baby a@@ smooth floor so I am sooooooo happy

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

A couple pictures of my buddies truck thats in the back corner of my shop while we trial fit some stuff. This truck is wicked...it lays front bumper and running boards...The engine dyno'd at 426 Hp and 430 FT torque...it's going to rock. 4 link in the back,some mini tubs,lots of body mods, it's bad a@@.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Thanks man...

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

You guys do great work, I like the bumper addition very subtle. How much did it widen the bumper, it doesn't look like much against the valance (just enough). Like someone else said you'll have people scratching their heads. Always fun seeing your posts, can't wait for drive day, will it see the road this year, any ETA for it?? Later

Thanks man .....

I added about 1 1/4 to the bumper....and I am so driving it this year for sure. The engine should be finished and off the dyno for mid Feb....paint and body should be completed March. But there is a ton of stuff to do on it still, I have been gathering my buddies and getting them ready to help me get all over it as soon as the body is ready to go ......

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude, your buddy's truck is sweet! Nice to hear about the smooth azz floor. :lol: I hear ya about getting organized. My buddy just started sheeting my south bay north wall and put some shelves up in there. He spent 2 days organizing and throwing crap away. It's crazy how much crap we have in there for the building only being used for 2 years. :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude, good luck with that! Seriously. I said that last summer and got half of my list done. Now I'm on to the new list. :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

[quote=wutnxt;5101834]Good to hear, from the pics you have a great crew, driving should be no problem. I'm hoping to do a long distance to Goodguys Puyallup in July, maybe we'll cross paths.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I couldn't resist stressing your heart one more time, I inherited this one, so I'm still Chevy to the core, just a Dodge Caretaker;)

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

[quote=65Pickup;5102063] Hey that would be awesome...I tried to get to it this year but it just didn't happened......I got carried away....lol...But ya I am going to try and make my way to it this year with some friends...nothing like chevy trucks running in a pack

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

65Pickup

Hey it looks like it's in pretty good shape....
For the record I should say i have a apprecation of all kinds of things that move and that are mechanical...espically if they are taken care of and old

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well had a great work day on the chassis...it's been sitting a while so I didn't want to take any chances....drained the oil poured it back in the top half on each side.....pulled the distributor out and drove the oil pump until it came back up into the pushrods and heads...pulled the plugs ( which was a pain because i had to take the headers off to get at 3 of the plugs,apparently there is going to be a modification of the bolt flange before those go back on )..light spray of WD40 into the cylinders.Polished both value covers and breathers,polished some of the other bits and parts. Rolled it over by hand a bit while the plugs were out and it's all good and ready to go . I hope at some point on the weekend to fire it up and hear it run....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Where's the video at man?!!!!! You're not done yet? WTF? I was all excited to hear this bad machine! :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude your killing me.....I do have to get 4 or 5 hours a sleep a night you know.I hope to fire it on the weekend....i might take video.....see how it goes. So does that mean your truck is painted?......lmao....I didn't think so....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I could sure use a good big back window cab.....or a short wheelbase suburban to put on that chassis.....just can't seem to find anything thats good.....( and cheap what can i say i am thrifty these days )
