Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Finally got several coats on all the oak and wet sanded ....the stainless strips came so it was time to put it together. I have more work to do but am waiting for a fuel door for the oak before i cut in my hole. I will finish up the oak ,mount the bed ,cut the hole in the oak and put the filler neck in the gas tank...you guy's know the dril i am sure....but the point is I am working on this thing....lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

That looks sweet man!!! Sooo jealous. Where'd you score the filler door?

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

What an incredible amount of work going on. The bed is beautiful!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Beautiful paint choice.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks man....

Well having done a few of these now and I live where it really rains and there is so much moisture I have bought a billet door to sink into the bed to hide the actual gas filler. It's at the shop ready to pick it up I will post all the info you need to check it out and a couple of pictures

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks ...that means alot....it's been a bunch of work. Have been on your thread a few times too...nice build you have

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks ..
It took awhile to choose it I actually did a fender 3 times before it was right....I have done so many of these that I wanted something differnt and I thought hey why not this....lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Okay, I've read and re-read and can't find anything that mentions that Sweet paint color you used or brand, layers, flavor etc.
Did I miss something?
Your color (here on my screen) is a Dark almost bluish/black sinister green. Black in the dark, light hits it and POW.

Ain't fair to keep it a secret I tell ya. oh btw, bed wood looks good too.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

LOL....Bomp you crack me the hell up ...

Sinster Green about says it all....It's a deep dark green with a gold flect through it. I wanted something that looks black almost in the shade but when the sun hits it there is a ton of i reffer to it as break meaning that the color changes across the curves.....Then we cleared the hell out of it and it has not yet been polished and won't be until it's all put together....and then the white stripe .... we added a hint of the green to give it some effect...and a little pearl thing going on. Ps....it smells like Mint and it tastes like crap just saying.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well it took me longer to get all of the steering figured out.....But it's roughed in right now. Flaming river floor shift coloum....32 spline coupler to DD shaft...24" of stainless DD bar ( which the extra slipped right into the coloum ) And a block to hold it all in place. I just have to take it all out and drill the set screws spots and drill and bolt the top. P.s yes there is alot of wire in the cab but I put in a bunch of extra stuff so hey.......lots and lots of wire...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Okay so ....if you look under the stereo...you will see my A/C controls that are sunk into the dash. This is kinda stupid but when we took the old radio steel out we cut it,chopped it,and hit with a hammer until we made that recess then placed it back into the bottom curve of the dash.So when I am working in the cab I just can't help looking at that and smiling....but I really dig it

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Has been coil shopping, I want to keep this truck a coil truck no bags for a change....I need to do 5"drops in the back and 3" upfront. It's way to high for me and she needs to be lowerrrrrrrrrrrr but still shopping

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I like the hvac mod. Nice clean build!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Hey thanks....
I think it turned out great but I bet there was a easier way to do it lol...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

The re-purposing mod is really cool!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Eibach coils for a 73-87 for the front? Used 'em twice, great results both times.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well making some progress....Got the box onto the frame still have some work to do for mounting but nothing to serious. I might have to take it off to put my filler in the back so I won't get to carried away with it just yet.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks to a beer fridge and the boys for showing up to lend a hand with putting the box on. Saved me a bunch of work and probaly a few scrapes here and there.....I am starting to dig this colour

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Yes, I dig the Sinister Green too.
I was thinking I'd paint mine Dirty Money Green but Im waiting for shots in the sun of yours.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Very nice truck! I'm in for the ride.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

truck looks great, what length is the steering column you using?? and when you get done with this one are you going to get back to the prostreet truck?? keep it up

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Ohh so many things come to mind, can't wait to see "dirty money green"

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

One of my best friends has a 67 LeMans painted very similar in color. It looks amazingly green in the sun, black at night...

Very nice, your dash looks great all around, not just the AC controls !!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks guy's...

I am in the shop on it again today....will update pictures soon and do some replies...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Very clean work!.......how is low and go coming?

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Man, you do nice work. I always look forward to updates on all of your threads.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So I have the right vette covers but to use them I have to modify them and do the crafty " Dino conversion " to get a pcv and breather into them...Yea they are polished and powder coated.....then i decided too modify them....poor timing on my part.
