Re: 68 project
 

To much compressor talk and not enough truck talk. Back to our regularly scheduled program. :D

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks for taking the time to read through my build, I appreciate it :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

:lol: I have to agree with you on that. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Re: 68 project
 

Does the saga ever end !! ?? It just seems like you order parts after parts always thinking you are almost done and then you think of the other things you want or maybe need for your build and the " oh I need to do this before I can do that syndrome" :lol: Well I ordered my rear cover, trac bar, rear sway bar and wilwood flex lines for the brakes and of course the trac bar is on backorder until the 28th :waah:

My June goal keeps getting closer and the end never seems to get in sight, ( or does it ever end ) :lol: Well I have Thursday and Friday off this week maybe I can get my rear brakes mounted And run some brake lines from the rear to the front. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

I'm strugling with the have to have and the want to have ....front & rear brakes "to convert or not to convert" I have all the stock stuff need to turn rotors and drums have the pads and shoes new hardware etc. ...just so tempting to go big brakes:) .... i have a ton of other new parts to buy ahead of me ....Ill live thru your build for now learn from u and convert in the future ...your build has a lot of us inspired and keeps me motivated:)

Re: 68 project
 

You guys just give me way to much credit, :lol: some stuff I was going to do later but then I knew it would never happen so I figured I best do it now :smoke: When I bolt the body back on I want as minimal of work underneath this thing as possible. Plus my big gut couldn't fit under the frame rails anyways :waah:

I just figure at this point what is a few more hundred dollars :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

Its the little things that bite, sure doesn't look like 152.00 :smoke:

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
 

Ouch !!! :lol: But you have to have it, it is like a bottomless money pit :waah:

Re: 68 project
 

egads those Super Dampers are expensivo!

Re: 68 project
 

Had to tear into the frame today already got the rear shocks mounted and pulled the axles to start assembly of the rear brakes. :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Well I was able to get one side done, have to replace one wheel stud on the other side :waah: To the parts store tomorrow. I love the simplicity of these wilwood brakes :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

And a few birthday presents for me :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

U got me tempted on them wilwoods�� HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

Re: 68 project
 

Very nice!

Re: 68 project
 

I have that same moser rear cover saved in my favorites. I need to make sure I can fit it in, and maybe a watts link setup after I get my Boyd's tank installed.

Looks great Larry. I love my wilwoods up front. Do your rears have a parking brake?

Re: 68 project
 

The Moser cover is awesome and looks and feels bullet proof :metal: Yes the rears have a parking that's what the drum brakes are for in the first pic I posted today. Not sure if I can make them work on mine yet or not because of the 12" wheels. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks Jesse, it is always a great birthday when you can get some truck parts in :lol: You can't go wrong with these, a great product and very easy to install. The nice thing with these I used on the back all you remove to change brake pads is the wheel and one big cotter pin :chevy:
You can actually see the cotter pin in the close up shot I took, pull it and they slide out the top.

Re: 68 project
 

Remember that cover will require a curved panhard bar. ;). Something else cool to add to the moneypit. Btw...Happy B'Day.

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks, yes it is on backorder :devil: but I did order one. I just cannot resist the cool stuff :lol: glad my wife doesn't come on here or I wouldn't be able to share with you guys. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Ahhhhh.. I noticed the shoes looked brand new and saw the mounts for the calipers but didn't put two and two together.

Re: 68 project
 

Happy Birthday Larry!! The truck is looking great and I'm jealous of your presents!!

Re: 68 project
 

Happy late birthday!

Re: 68 project
 

Happy Birthday dude!
Boy that moser rear cover looks so sharp.

Re: 68 project
 

Happy Birthday

Re: 68 project
 

Happy Birthday Larry!

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks everyone, I am 47 years young :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Decided to tear down the 327 today, :uhmk: I have a bit of clean up to do, a little cleaning and some new gaskets. Well maybe a little bit more than that. :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Happy Birthday , where was that 327 buried at ?

Re: 68 project
 

Maybe a little:)

Re: 68 project
 

Hey, a little clr and a scrub brush and it is as good as new :smoke:

My buddy and I decided if I do rebuild this block and have it running again it would be named Lazarus :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

All the rear brakes are mounted now running brake lines... not my favorite part at all :waah: also axles are all back in and new rear cover is in place.

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks to Robert for coming this morning and showing me how to create a double flare... :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Brakes are tied together in the back now to tie it to the front... :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Larry your build is really coming along and looking awesome!!

Re: 68 project
 

Thank you Lorne... finger tips are sore from messing with brake lines today :waah:

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
