Re: Project two tone.
 

I wish I could. lol Issue is that I would still have interference. I would have to space the bracket out some 5 inches. lol I'm gonna keep tinkering and see if I can figure out something. Thanks!
Yeah, The new cover with be a taller finned aluminum cover. So I'll be detail painting the fins. Its the one I originally Wanted to go with, but no body had ever gotten the smooth one so I ended up getting that one...then liked the setup. lol And now I can get the one I want. haha. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

TJ plug the hole behind the bracket and put the breather on the carb side. you can always get the other v-cover. you got me thinking about A/C now lol. eng is looking good.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks. lol yeah, If I don't end up selling the valve cover soon I'm going to save if for my next 292 I'll be doing. I still have one more to build so. lol Plans plans and more plans. haha.

Re: Project two tone.
 

I can't tell from the pic TJ, but will tyhe compressor once mounted interfer with the spark plugs?

Re: Project two tone.
 

Nope, the plugs and plug wires will be fine. I can bring the compressor up higher if I have those issues. It's pretty adjustable. lol :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

looks really good. that AC will be a life saver and you'll never regret that addition. think you'll go vintage air or some cool old under dash unit?

frame and engine look great… looking to see them together.

Re: Project two tone.
 

What's another Valve cover laying around...:metal:

Lookin' good Brotha!;)
Seen the axle on the concrete blocks, should be painted later today!:mm:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Clem. Plan is to go with Vintage Air. Though I've heard some down falls on "1st timer intallation" lol.
lol. Yeah, only a $270 valve cover. haha. Well, the plan WAS to Paint today, but I'll only be priming as the lid popped open on my paint can and my paint is solid as concrete. :(

Re: Project two tone.
 

Vintage Air!!! :metal::metal: You will do just fine installing it.

Re: Project two tone.
 

I hope so. lol That's coming waay later so we'll see. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Paint should be here from Eastwood today! Hopefully this evening after work I can get some painting done. :metal: And tomorrow start slamming some stuff back together! One of their warehouses had a fire and my little quart of paint was almost in it. But, good thing it wasn't. lol Later guys. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

:metal: Still enjoying the heat???:mm:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Great job on the frame! Came out great!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Guys! :metal: No, Ain't liking the heat at ALL brotha! lol

Well this sucks, my paint still hasn't shown up. Ah well....guess my plans for truck time this weekend are gone. Oh well...there's still some time in the day. They may be here yet. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Paint showed up Tuesday! Work done Wednesday....Rule of thumb....never paint when your tired. More couldn't go wrong. lol Well...everything came out nice....except for the trailing arms. My lighting was terrible and I sprayed the paint on a wee bit thick too fast. Oh well....I can always color sand a re-shoot them if I'm that worried. But for now here's some pictures. Axle is what came out the best. lol :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Couple more.....later guys.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Nice work TJ. :metal::metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guys! :metal: Hoping to get some of this back together this weekend. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Nice work TJ

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks!

Re: Project two tone.
 

funny about painting, sometimes it easy, goes on nice and sometimes not. as you said TJ good light and you have to see. The first time i painted my rims it was to cold and the paint came out dull and ruff. you're getting there TJ looking good.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks, been a slow process but anything I can get done just gets me that much closer. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Lookin good!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey TJ, I haven't been on the forum for a few months, WOW, you have made so much progress, everything looks great!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guys! Stay tuned for some updates today. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Little bit of Bling to start off a Sunday morning with. :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Getting things mocked up(picture 1) while waiting for parts to dry(picture 2). Also thought it would be neat to leave my u-bolts bare metal instead of painting them so they'd match the differential cover so I clear coated them. :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Great job! Love the diff cover and great idea with the U-bolts!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Good job TJ. I like the u bolt idea :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

X2! Way to go Brotha!!!:metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guys! Was able to get most of it hooked back up this evening. :metal: Gotta run to the hardware store tomorrow and get some more bolts and nuts to mount my coils and the rear end is done for now. Pictures tomorrow. Later guys! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Moving along a wee bit! Got the axle mounted to the trailing arms. Really please with how the u-bolts look with the differential cover. :metal: Also go stainless bolts and some never seize for the trailing arm bolts. Hoping that combo will work well to keep squeaks and future rust to a minimum. Got the wrong bolts from the bolt store so I couldn't mount my coils tonight. :waah: Ah well...tomorrow is another day. See ya! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Bunch a parts on their way from Classic Parts. Hoping they get here Friday so I can have some truck time saturday. :metal: Waiting for parts is tough! :lol:

Re: Project two tone.
