Good choice with the color matched engine! Whole thing is looking good :metal:
I just hope it isn't too much orange. The inner fenders are going to be black so that should even it out some.

Hahaha sounds great!!! Can't wait!! Chris, my engine builder, said it's good for 360+ HP since I got these camelhump heads. I will have to dyno it later and give some real world figures but sounds like a healthy 8 pack to me. We have snow in the forecast for tomorrow, that will be the 3rd snow this year which hasn't happened since 73' so I suppose we are the land of slush!!:lol:

Thankfully none of it sticks! I'd hate to have to put money into snow tires for the one month of "snow" we get :lol:

I bought a couple of things from a guy on CL and he had a bagged and bodied 08 Tahoe with the same emblems in the same place.......dang good idea already used.

I just purchased a chrome glove box door and I am painting it krinkle black on the front then installing another script emblem in the center of it to match the outside emblems and valve covers. I really like them too!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 
Great minds think alike. I purchased a chrome glovebox door months ago to do just that to match the gauge bezel look. Since then I've decided to go more custom on the dash but still hadn't ruled out something with that effect....

Just went by the machine shop, he said it would be ready for pickup tomorrow as the heads are still being rebuilt. The weather looks crappy for tomorrow so I may pick it up Saturday. This is pathetic, I had a dream that I was backing the truck down the driveway. :lol:

REALITY CHECK HERE. You will be in the near future, but it may involve cutting holes in your floor and doing the Fred Flinstone. LMAO. Sorry bud, had to. I know, I know, It feels great when it starts getting close to completion. The dream will come true after all!

The great Southern weather visited this weekend and made working outside really nice. I was able to get a few things done and spend a huge amount of money in the process. Had my paint guy come by and do some work getting rid of the rocker and cab problems and a couple of other things.
Got the breather cover and valve covers in primer and got em sanded and put a little paint on the breather cover.
Attachment 553966
This paint looks incredible in the sun. The 327 emblems really set it off, but if I had it to do over they may not have been installed. I may have just pinstriped it a little.
Attachment 553967
Here it is. Finally! And still not complete. Some of the items he installed were needed, like the Corvette 1/8 in springs and hardened locks to handle the bigger cam. I chose to go with the roller rockers and comp rods along with, of course, a double roller timing chain. The 66 Vette manifold that I bought for it may not be used because of the carb that is going on it, that's why there isn't a manifold on it yet.
Attachment 553968
Had to get a pic with the valve covers on it, too bad they are still in primer.
Attachment 553969
It was really windy this weekend and even covering the cab really well we still had a little overspray get on it. No biggie, it was really light and should buff off easily.

Here is another pic that made me change my mind on using the krinkle paint, it just looks too good to paint. So I think I will buy the solid chrome instrument bezel to match the glove box door.
Attachment 553971
Here is a close up of the rocker panel, it blended well and with the candy on it was hard to tell what was done.

It was awesome! I have way too much left to do on the motor (and parts to buy) before it goes in. Still have to find a manifold and paint the block too.

Looking great. Nice progress...

Now you're making me think again on my glovebox....

Maybe smooth a stock bezel and paint that too....
