Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Not very good pictures..... I just took a few from my iphone....the shops a mess right now with parts and pieces. I still don't have my shop layout set in stone so I find myself walking around in cirlces looking for stuff. I really need to get some shelves in and get the place together.....but there is heat and cold beer and a baby a@@ smooth floor so I am sooooooo happy

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
You guys do great work, I like the bumper addition very subtle. How much did it widen the bumper, it doesn't look like much against the valance (just enough). Like someone else said you'll have people scratching their heads. Always fun seeing your posts, can't wait for drive day, will it see the road this year, any ETA for it?? Later

Thanks man ..... I added about 1 1/4 to the bumper....and I am so driving it this year for sure. The engine should be finished and off the dyno for mid Feb....paint and body should be completed March. But there is a ton of stuff to do on it still, I have been gathering my buddies and getting them ready to help me get all over it as soon as the body is ready to go ...... |
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Dude, your buddy's truck is sweet! Nice to hear about the smooth azz floor. :lol: I hear ya about getting organized. My buddy just started sheeting my south bay north wall and put some shelves up in there. He spent 2 days organizing and throwing crap away. It's crazy how much crap we have in there for the building only being used for 2 years. :lol:

Hey it looks like it's in pretty good shape.... For the record I should say i have a apprecation of all kinds of things that move and that are mechanical...espically if they are taken care of and old |
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Well had a great work day on the chassis...it's been sitting a while so I didn't want to take any chances....drained the oil poured it back in the top half on each side.....pulled the distributor out and drove the oil pump until it came back up into the pushrods and heads...pulled the plugs ( which was a pain because i had to take the headers off to get at 3 of the plugs,apparently there is going to be a modification of the bolt flange before those go back on )..light spray of WD40 into the cylinders.Polished both value covers and breathers,polished some of the other bits and parts. Rolled it over by hand a bit while the plugs were out and it's all good and ready to go . I hope at some point on the weekend to fire it up and hear it run....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street

Dude your killing me.....I do have to get 4 or 5 hours a sleep a night you know.I hope to fire it on the weekend....i might take video.....see how it goes. So does that mean your truck is painted?......lmao....I didn't think so.... |
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
I could sure use a good big back window cab.....or a short wheelbase suburban to put on that chassis.....just can't seem to find anything thats good.....( and cheap what can i say i am thrifty these days )

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Well i fired up the engine in the new chassis and it really runs.....it really does....Just about everything that could have been wrong was wrong, the rocker studs were lose so had to strip all of the roller gear off and tighten all the studs down. Then had to set the roller rockers.......drove the oil pump with a drill until I had lots of oil pressure then set the distributor back excatly where it was.....then just before i tried to start it i found out it was 80 degrees out......( after i buttoned up everything with out checking anything )
Those aluminum angle plug heads hated every type of exhaust I tried....long tube headers.....fenderwell headers....it's impossible to pull atleast have the plugs with the exhaust on. I broke a couple of plugs as it was trying to get the rest out. Note to self : Never rush and assume that the guy who did the job ahead of you did it right the first time. |
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Sorry to hear your issues. The headers sound like it's going to make working it a real PITA! Can you get a set of custom ones built for you that way you won't cut them up a year after you have it together? :lol: Running??? Really??? No vid. That's crap. I'll give you a vid of mine running but who wants to hear crickets. LMAO!
