I have lost sleep over these stupid ac vents.....So be gentle I am sensitive...They don't come apart...they are billeted but no one so far can get thm apart or i would do them in green too. But for now they stay like that till i decide what to do . I don't want them to look like a 70's disco van.....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Just messing with ya now.....
There is the 58 sitting tall the LS2 almost finished......I had to take a picture of both at the same time for a change.....I have enough work for awhile

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Great builds, they look awesome.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Thanks ....it's alot of work but i hope it's all worth it in the end....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Okay so .....

The 58 was supposed to be theraphy and a easy build.....not so much . But I am in the home stretch now. The beast is mostly wired now and i rebuilt each light housing fo every light. I glass beaded then primed then painted the housings and replaced each and every socket. I wired it with one of the EZ wire kits and I have used a bunch of differnt kits but I really like the product. I should have taken more pictures with all of that but i didn't, but each wire soldered and heat shrinked and the harness is all wrapped. But I also managed to get the oak kit in.....It didn't turn out as nice as i wish it would have but It's going in for now until I get a chance to fx it. When I had the body shop widen the rear tubs i showed them where to place the bed strip grooves but they were out 1/2" . Not easy to try and hide and lots of work to fix it.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Have u used American Autowire? If so, how does it compare?

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Now the 65 street truck....( not the pro )

I have had a great run on this thing lately.........and i really like how it's starting to look. I now have the vision or look that I want....anyhow....I painted the booster and master cylinder to match the firewall and got al o that mounted on.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I got the A/C pump mounted....The alternator mounted....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

So it's going together .....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

So not only did i get all the inners and rad support mocked up , I got them painted.....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Ya i am sure I used it on my buddies 66.....I think that was the kit that you had to mount each wire back into the fuse block....So you mount the block then pull the wire back to the block then tighten a screw down for each wire.....with the EZ kits the block comes prewired so it's mount the block and pull the wire towards where it goes too.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Okay so ......lets see who notices the changes i made ......

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

But I also think that the auto wire did come with the head light switch...and EZ doesn't...I don't like the goody switch stuff where you have to cut down the headlight arm for the switch. I like to buy the good headlight switches anyhow...I am using the EZ kits for all my builds now, I like the kits and I want to use one kit for all my builds it really saves time and you really get good at putting them in.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I need to get rid of those blue wires and tan cap.... I need to run the smaller cap set up i think...Do those run a diffrent distributor or the same distrbutor just a differnt cap set up.....guessing they run a differnt drive...ugh i don't wanna scratch my paint changing it out....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

so what is going on with the title truck on this thread? On hold for the other projects?

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Will be back onto the pro truck soon as i finish one of these builds....The pro truck was killing me...But because I am a fat tire kinda guy the 58 is running 14" wides on the rear.....and well the 65 street version is going to get the tubs widdened as big a i can go rubber wise as well.....it's not done yet but right now thats the plan....and i see a NOS set up as well in it's future. But now that I am thinking Pro truck I should call and check on my engine. The body shop is back on the pro truck as soon as they finish the street 65 if that make sense.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

In my spare time i flattened out another acre to make trailer turns easier and park more trucks. I hope to move enough stuff to get my new bay added on before the weather changes.......crosses my fingers

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Great up dates, looks very hectic. Hope your enjoying the ride. Will you have something to drive to Dino's Party?? Stuff is turning out awesome.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I hope to have the 58 test fired at some point this week.....there are a few parts I am waiting to finish off...My air conditioning,my stereo , carpet and the rest of the wiring. I hope to take the 58......just want to make sure it's finished and trouble free.Thats a long way to send a untried truck.....but Dino could fix it for me....lol

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

send it i will!!!:lol::lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

dang i forgot to ad such nice work kat!!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Good luck, that trip will be just reward for working so hard. Totally understand the nerves though. I'm battling just going to Mission for a race, in the next couple weeks. Don't need the aggravation should something break. Take the dually and trailer, extra friend driving it...should something go awry load it up and continue. Extra gas money but well worth the awesome road trip, to reward all your efforts. Projects are really shaping up, I look forward to next years progress.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I learned everything i know from watching you.....lmao...yo got some skills over there dude....thanks by the way

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I am thinking of sending it down ahead of me actually......either on a car carrier....or have a friend drive it down. That gives me way more time off to hang out where it's warm.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

This street truck is looking killer man! You better get that addition done before the weather change! It sounds like you northern guys could get the raw end of things this winter!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Nice work but im still not sure how you keep it all going forwards..

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Sounds bad, what do you know that we don't?

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

This winter?....
We get the raw deal every year...lol
Ya i will be back on the addition in a couple of weeks....I want to get that wrapped up because I bought some new equpiment I want to get mounted and play with before things get cold out.Thanks by the way...I really like the way the street truck looks and is going together...will be nice to knock it outa the way before moving into the pro truck again.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Me either.....I have trucks spread all over. I am also building a slammed out 53 for my buddy thats going into body work today....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

He says that because he is building a 4X4....and he wants it to snow...lol

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well....
I peeled off the trailing arms and a few other bits and pieces off the street truck and am having them repainted...The powder coating that was on them looked like crap...so it was now or never

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

LMAO! No, I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to drive it in the salt and liquid rust they spray on the roads. I told myself a while ago I was going to drive it in the crud, but now that it's shiny (in parts) I am having a change of heart. :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

The farmer's almanac is saying midcentral US is supposed to have colder temps than average, and minor precip. They say the great lajes area and Canada are due for severly cold temps, major wind storms, and above average snow fall. But who can you trust on weather predictions? Right? :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Thanks DW, its interesting how close the Almanac is each year, sounds like good shop weather. My truck just developed a death wobble up front, so I've got something to figure out before next spring.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

not much going on right now other then trying to get the 58 running....air intake almost completed now....plus a bunch of other stuff completed.....well that and i bought another 66......ya i know....i know

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Just read through this whole thing, and was anticipating seeing lots of cool trucks on the road, what happened? Great work on all of them though, they are sick.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

We need pics of the new '66, you've got Dino's disease.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
