Looking good Heath. The rate you're going you'll be finished before me.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Nick! I need to see how you wired your Ron Francis kit ;)

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Really nice really like the colors you chose

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

That thing is just sexy looking!!!! nice job so far.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Nuke! One day i wish to have your talent!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

The paint goes down and the thread is forgotten. Hope you have made some progress bro!! It's gonna be too cold to work on em this weekend. Dang unheated shop.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Not forgotten, we have been cleaning up the sport mirrors, ordering door felts, vent wing rubber, and rebuilt kit. I talked to my buddy and they are massaging the cowl so the gaps are pretty... It will slow down a bit as we need to save up for the ron francis wiring kit, tach dash, etc, etc.
you have made much progress... keep at it....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Since you're doing so good on the progress, how about I trailer mine to you and let you finish it? Sounds good to me... haha

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

What is the biggest difference in the Ron Francis kit and the Amercian Autowire kit?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

from the research i have done. AAC does not have a direct replacement for the 67-68 currently as the ebrake location is in the way. they do offer for 69-72 though. I have a Ron Francis in my '56 and would just like to stay the same with my son's as i have never had issue and the support when i installed the harness was phenomenal, and i hear it still is.

I don't know if this is a rumor, but i have heard that a ex Ron Francis engineer started AAC, but i never researched it. both kits looks awesome, i just want to be able to tell the vendor what i have, and it shows up ready to plug and play , no cutting and reconnecting the connectors etc.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

bring the keys Nick! Think i will need to test drive it a bit to make sure it's safe before i give it back... I could even drive it back to you!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the info.. :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I used the Ron Francis Kit on mine. It looks clean and the cusotmer service is great. I went with them because it was explained to me they build the kit for each vehicle. They keep record of the serial number of the kit incase you have problems.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

i know nothing about these kits, can you get one that is factory style just ready to plug ?? what are the price ranges

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We need current pics . Man it is coming along nice .

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

You can get direct replacement but I'm far from stock, thus
the need for a custom harness. Check americanautowire.com, you could also pm mike (mbgmike) a board vendor.

thanks Raland, I had the pleasure of rebuilding the vent windows last night.
I'll grab
some pics next week.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....that sounds like fun!!!:lol:....I remember rebuilding mine....ugh!!!....

Just think....more fun to come:metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

yeah, more fun!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the wiring info !!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Detailed vent window rebuild pics??? Can't I just send mine to you and let you do it???:metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I was frustrated, so didnt think of taking pics. drill out 7 rivits (cussing at each one), install rubber around vent window with rivits ( cussing each time trying to mushroom the rivits) they look good, i'll shoot some pics tonight. I tried a hair dryer etc to try and get it flexible enough, man was it a b-word trying to get it set in the grooves.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

:lol: Heath...too funny...those darn vent windows....:lol:....There's a write up in the FAQ thread too....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=153937

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

When cussing, should I use the correct explitives to get a good result???:lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

That Always helps!!!

i need to get some silicone spray and move the gasket a lil in some areas .

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

The vent windows look great...so how much time do we need set aside to rebuild one these? I can see how it would be a major pain to get the rubber to seat in the track.

So wheres the pics of the new K10 I saw you mention?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Wait a minute!!! What's up with those vent window latches!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I think it took a couple of hrs, with a few BLB's in between (BudLight Breaks)

i attached a pic

well one fell victim to the flex of my bicep :lol: need to get some new ones....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

That K10 should be a fun project, too... :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Yes it will be, once i get to start on it.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Can't wait to see the build thread on that one. With the LS powerplant it will be a bad boy truck...10-4 on the BLB;)

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

which ever camaro you give me would be a badmaro with a ls powerplant as well :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Say.......... your paint job is going to look wicked! :D

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I see that now..... well silver and charcoal are my son's two favorite colors, was gonna be charcoal grey, then silver, then possibly sunburst orange metallic ( thanks to Mistress) 16 yo's change their mind alot, so now we have some of each color.

Thats a nice Longhorn by the way.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It ought to be considering that dude's been working on it for almost 10 years. :lol:

I know what you mean, budics truck does look hot. I sure like the looks of yours too though. I'd leave it like it is.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

:D thanks guys.....Heath....I like the choices too....that's just crazy you both have the same paint scheme....I won't tell if you don't:lol:
