Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I agree.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like it as is. But if you ever repaint the truck, then maybe add the white below.?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

IMO, keep it the way that it is.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

LOL, well i guess i am the odd man out , but i love the white and gold !

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You guys have talked me out of painting below the trim......at least for right now, :D. Here's a video test drive I made when I was playing around with my cell phone video recorder.....cut-outs where open....:). Turn your volume all the way up and that will give you a better representation of how loud it really is.....................

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Yeehaw that was a fun ride! Sounds awesome.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Very cool! That's what I want to do in the burb! Where did you get it?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I've seen them in the truck shop catalog I think....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I bought it directly from Retrosound. The price was as good as anyone else's.

Our local track is closed for new management, so not yet. Also, I've been working on my new "shed" so that's taken up time and $$$$. I'm getting close to having it done (at least the exterior). I moved my son's truck in there today. I'm thinking of taking the 68 to the Goodguys show in Memphis. If I can get it dyno tuned before I go, I may run it down the track....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Sweet. Let's roll to Memphis. Lol

4.11 gears and 8 mpg....I'm trailering, :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

nice shop, must be in a different neighborhood than when I visited, or did you move?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That's cool. I better start working harder and faster.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

so an even larger garage huh? nice... I plan to build a separate 2.5 car garage but it will still be a few years...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You have built a really nice street truck. Great work.

Nice little shed you have there. Wish I had the room to build one like that at my place.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Your sons truck looks lika another very nice ride in the works. I like it!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

About the same size, but more overhead storage and some separation from the house....:lol:

Thanks! I wish I would have built it sooner, :).

Thanks! A boardmember (Shifty) started the project and did a great job compiling parts and putting the concept together. I'll start a build thread sometime this fall...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

OK, possibly thinking about upgrading to an LS motor. I want to drive this truck more often and would really like the overdrive and A/C, :D. A buddy of mine said he will buy the supercharger setup for his 67 Nova, as soon as I pull it off, :). So, how much do you guys think the motor and transmission are worth? Carb to pan and with a built Sid Neal turbo 350 transmission? The setup has about 6K miles on it. Thanks for your input!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

No idea on value, but I vote DO IT! If you're gonna, might as well make it NASTY though. Can't pull a snarling blower motor and replace it with a 5.3. I'm thinkin' big cubes and high compression for that 'Hot for Teacher' intro idle. My .02...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Just thinkin out loud here, but it would be a shame to pull a supercharged small block and put in a N/A LS , please don't bring shame to this build, twin turbo Ls? Blown LS??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:D, it will be at least a 5.7 and will probably have a huffer on it, :sexy:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I agree.....will probably be blown.....:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Cool, just what I'm wanting to do to my 63!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hm, raiding the 'parts bin'? I know you have an LS1 in the other '68 and a blower in the SB...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Naw, this will be number 3, or 4......:lol:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I say not a penny more then $500. They are a dime a dozen now a days. Just to help you out I'll bring you $650 tonight and we can pull it out tomorrow.

The things you do for friends........
