Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Finally picked up another vent filter. Installed a 90* into the fuel sender cover as a vent, and then ran a 3/8" braided line out to the filter and secured it.
http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psqbjidhwx.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psoch79004.jpg Got a HUGE comeup from a friend who was paying back a favor. Got a Nitrous Outlet 3bolt wet plate, a Nitrous Outlet remote bottle opener, and a NOS 10lb tank with high flow valve...all new. To top it off, I might also be getting a purge from the same dude. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psici5hwid.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pseoduo6ih.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psplgtx4il.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pse1fihoxj.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pszs2swp3c.jpg Sooo, yeah, that was awesome. I just need to pickup a couple of solenoids, a few feet of line, and the handful of switches and triggers to run the kit safely. I may be choosing to run the fuel off a mini-cell with race gas instead of tapping it on the regular fuel system as well, but haven't finalized the plan on that yet. Yay for spray! |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Picked up some new gear for the garage. This came highly recommended, and so far I'd recommend it also!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Took home an award from a show this weekend! I decided to do a quick vlog on the topic, and how I try not to get too caught up in the "Fanfare" at shows.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Started working on a few more projects and thusly shooting a few more videos for the channel.
After the swap and all the changes over the years, I ended up with a few random holes and gaps in the firewall. I've taken efforts to always re-use holes and size-specify things to utilize what I have with minimal change, but even so, I had around 7 holes of various sizes. A couple of these will at some point be used for other routing, a couple won't but are in places that a permanent fix won't reach on the inside.... So I reached for the BEST thing in a situation like this....aluminum tape! Works super well for sealing off small and medium sized holes from vapor/engine air, and does resist moisture. I patched up a few small ones and 2 that were around 5/8", and this stuff makes the shape and seals great. For the larger holes, I did a layer from the inside and outside so the holes were sealed on both ends. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps01yp61a3.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psmlxsgs9z.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psjkjptaom.jpg I also worked on some changes to my armrest/console. This project is the topic of my next video over on Rev J HD, and you guys get to see it done here first! (the broader video topic will drop this week!) When I raised the driver seat up, the console no longer was the right height. Instead of rebuilding the whole thing, I instead created a simple package tray to become my new "upper console", and re-affixed the old armrest portion atop it. Its 1/4" MDF and sized to match the old console base and the armrest. The early pics of it are in the video and on my IG so check those out too. Here's the console base with the upper armrest removed. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psqdjoypzo.jpg That lid then got put onto the new "upper console", which I then painted the edges of and lined with a race-checked liner to protect the MDF and give it a fun finished look in an area most folks will never see. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psxqumyouy.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pslvsbmugv.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pspyteed1b.jpg Then that whole thing bolts back to the old console base, creating a double hinged upper console. One "tray" in the upper console for glasses, keys, wallets etc...and then the "lower" tray which has the amp/xovers and storage for a few emergency supplies. That console base also got its edges painted and got lined to match the upper, and I need finished pics of that, as well as the assembled final unit. Those will be up soon, as will the video! Annnd... since it was a holiday weekend, the local cruise spot was packed and the sunset created some great lighting for a few shots under that high-contrast goodness. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psh6j2e9mp.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pscrkxclke.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psxwpfchmx.jpg |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Happy 4th of July !!
Love that low shot from the rear. Great result on the box too. |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Thanks Grizz!
I mentioned that the box was the topic of a new video on the channel, and I didn't even realize that I it set to drop early this morning (the 4th)! Well it went live on the channel, so please go check it out. Sometimes you end up redoing project...and thats ok. The console is also finished, and those pics will be up soon.....but I'm tempted to come back for one last little detail. The inside/bottom of the lower tray has a solid 13x9" surface, painted flat black and hidden unless the bottom tray is fully open. Part of me is thinking of breaking out the ol' striping and lettering kit and doing a little callout tribute on that space. I think it would be a fun touch and a fun surprise. |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
SO more on that box!
I started by coming back and hand painting all the exposed wood edges black. I was tempted to stop there but then the unfinished interior walls had uneven paint, so I decided to line the lower console area with the same checkered lining that I used on the upper tray. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psz4fghdbh.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pscf3mvduq.jpg After that, I pretty much HAD to do the lower tray itself. I painted those exposed faces and then used the same liner again. I also painted the little "stops" at the back, which double as screw covers. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psaxlw7fol.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pskzg0lw4t.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psl2rxdnzw.jpg And adding all my gear back in the upgraded lower console space. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pshrecofmm.jpg Finally I was able to make sure the upper console was tightened down on its hinges, as well as the lid...and everything was back together! The "finished" pic is a bit grainy and everythings dirty (excuses excuses, I know...) but I'm really happy with its fit and function. I'll get her vacuumed out and take some shots on my dslr so you can see how evenly and tightly the carpet fit together and how well the linings layed down after some practice. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psfxntn1ka.jpg **flash weirdly highlighted the top 1/2 of this image, no idea why** http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pspz0jl6n9.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5ljl6fd6.jpg So like I said in the video above^ (please watch it if you haven't!), sometimes you have to redo projects. Sometimes its a pain, but its usually worth it, and occasionally you end up with not just a solution to a problem, but a potential upgrade....and a hell of a lot more experience. |

Another quicky clip from the CarCraft Nat's. Ran into StubbyBob a few times, and its perfectly weird and cool at the same time.

Hopefully you can get your truck up and going to enjoy it dome more before the white stuff flies. Stubby Bob is pretty cool! :lol:

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
I'm in a Starbucks right now with no headphones, so I can't watch your videos...but I'm glad to see you getting it back on the road. I've got some questions I'd like to shoot your way sometime in the near future regarding some LS questions...if you don't mind?

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Sure Joe, your welcome to PM me here on the forum, or send me an email. Either way is fine.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq

. Looks really clean - how many miles are on it and did you buy it in Wisconsin? If so, it doesnt look like it's seen a lot of winters. Will be watching your progress. . . |

I've lightly scuffed, sealed, and rhino lined the inside door lowers and other typical rust areas (there wasn't really any rust..i just don't wanna find any!) I took the stock fogs out, since one had a hazed/cracked lens. Ended up replacing them with larger LED units. |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Nice new ride! It does look really clean for the type of winters your area sees.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Lots of in-cab sound going down the road, eh? Loud pipes ran out the steps directly behind the cab might have something to do with that...lol

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
All purrty
UPDATE We made huge headway on the H8RDCPTR this weekend. I'm now running a pair of QA1 adjustable coilovers in the rear! Why? Because they match the front, are awesome...and fit the NEW FRAME we built in the rear! Yep, its pretty much done on the raw fab! We just need to finish the panhard setup, and add the small mountings for fuel tank, bed tabs etc. Should be ~40lbs lighter than the old setup. |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
I've got more pics and updates on the Yukon's audio upgrades in its own post now! Check it out here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...72#post7758272

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Just gota say sweet yukon ! We have the chevy brother to your GMC and totally relate to finding a rot free truck up here in ontario Canada. Feel the same way about keeping it stock as its just such a nice truck from the factory.
Also wanted to say thanks as your post building the 66 sparked my interest in ls swapping my suburban. Also provided clarity as to how simple the swap can be. Mario |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Thanks Mario!
So I didn't want people thinking that I disappeared since progress on the '66 and the Yukon has been low key for the past month or so. I've just been grinding trying to wrap up other stuff, so the videos etc have been short or backlogged. With that being said, here are some pics of whats happened on the '66 lately. We finally got the shock bridge installed and mounted up the rear QA1 coilover setup! The xmember for the panhard was also installed and centered, and the rearmost cross brace was welded in place. We still need to cut the rear frame "horns" off to bed length, but we were leaving room to play with, since some other changes will modify the way the bed fits just a touch. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psrbk9jgxk.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psongyrsie.jpghttp://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psnectsvif.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psw76f5jr7.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psit8kbaub.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2279dlgm.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psrnuk44tu.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...pszot6tbw8.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psfytwzno8.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psdhdsa9sb.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psov17mpv2.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psofz6wglk.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psagckjn7f.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psttkx0nka.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psa78tenda.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6dconvlk.jpg Now I need to bear the cold and get the fuel cell bracing put in so I can drop the cell in place, mount the battery and reconnect all the wiring. Once thats done, its only the cosmetic stuff and sheetmetal on the bed to have that back and functional (bed floor too, but that was in-process before the wreck). There WILL be video on much of this coming to my channel eventually. The garage is damn cold and I'm working a shiiiiiit ton during the holiday season. Gotta get that paper I suppose :) More is coming soon, and a ton more on the truck and the Yukon is coming through, just slowly throughout the winter. |
Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
Good to see you still at it.
