Awesome build thread...

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

slacking again..........

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks Jason. Good to see you back.

Thanks French. Go Ducks!

Thanks Dino!

A little trip the the ER with an ulcer has been keeping me down recently. I'm felt good enough to roll it out and take some picks today before I cleaned the garage.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

ER!!!! I can just hear the $$$$ goiung down the toilet. Put a little 1" cut between my thumb and pointer finger, thought about just sewing it up myself but it had a lot of meat hanging out.:lol::lol: Anyways 4500 later I was wishing I sewed it up myself. Hopefully your smarter then me and have insurance.:uhmk: Truck looks like it likes the sun.;) When you going to weld up that hood seam?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Sounds like you need a couple butterfly bandaids! :lol:I have insurance but I'm self employed so it's more like a safety net. I have a $2500 deductible so that's what I'm out. That would have bought a really nice set of rims or bunch of other shtuff. I've been staring holes in that hood wondering what to do with it. I still don't know.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

2500 plus 20% of a million.:sumo: When are we going to see that free heath care everyones talking about.:lol::lol: I don't really want that anyways. Keep starin at the hood somthing will come to ya. I welded mine it was a pain in the a$$. I just used seam sealer on the bed seam. Some people weld that too.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I would weld it. No cracks later:metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I'm for anything that will make it cheaper, easier, cheaper, more choices, etc. Did I say cheaper?

You know I will. ;)

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

you must be like me after pissin' and moanin' about it i end up doing the right thing anyway. i'm never happy with accepting short cuts

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Glad your getting better. ;)

I welded my seam in the bed and hood. Check out Ronnie's bed on 198plus build. He just went back into his bed to smooth the seam out after using seam sealer.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

What!!!! Thats where I got the idea.:lol::lol: Oh well I'm stuck with it because mines painted. I let you know when it cracks. Seemed like a lot of grinding anyways. I used JB weld on mine. It will never crack. haha

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I just got caught up on this build...
You have some awesome ideas, some are just too far outside my ability range either cost wise or skill wise, but wow! Cannot wait to see this one finished, (along with all the others I am currently tracking).

You have a great build going on that all many others I am watching, just keeps getting better and better! Very inspirational!

Cool to see I am not the only one that thinks something different or better could be done with the front bumper. I gots plans for mine too !!

I am dialed in, keep it up man, you have built quite a following too ;)

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Yeah if one jumps off a cliff, we all follow. :haha:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Where's the straight side shot yo?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

"Right" means different things to different people. I just like to do stuff once and hope my mind doesn't change.. again. :lol:

Thanks. I'm definitely welding it up to avoid any future issues.

I didn't know you could paint over JB weld. Is it going to hold up?

Thanks!

Baaaaaaah.

Ooops. Thanks for keeping me honest.:metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Can't wait to see it painted. It's going to be Bad A$$. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I actually like it bare metal!!!! what color is this thing going to be anyways?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Hey Greg. Sorry to hear you got sick. I'm glad you're getting better. The truck is looking BADA$$!!! Nice pics...

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I do too, but not the bondo. :lol:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Killer stance man. It looks so clean with no vent windows. Any plans for one piece side glass?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I do too. I've been going back and forth with gray/silver/black and what I think I'm doing is trying to reproduce the color of bare metal. It won't be painted for a while but right now I'm thinking steel silver metallic.

Thanks Joe!

Filler is a necessary evil.:lol: and a pain in the ass time sucker with all the sanding.

Absolutely correct. I'm not going to use vent windows. I contacted a company called Onepiecewindows.com a while back and they didn't have a kit for 63-66 yet but he said it was in the works. Whether they have it when I'm ready for it or I have to work it out myself, there's only going to be one window per side.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Sooo cool!!! Always nicest work!!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks. I love the Pro Streeter too.

Perfect Frizzle. I saved that for when I get around to it. Thanks

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Hey Greg, I'll be in Vegas Monday October 31st until Thursday morning for SEMA. Maybe we could hook up. I would love to see your truck in person.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Yup, I'll shoot you a PM.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

You were talking about cutting the hood like this?

By the way your truck is SICK!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

That's an amazing custom feature, custom lights will be next. Cool stuff.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I've never seen that done to a truck like ours. Cool idea.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Sorry Greg. I had no time to see you. Spent all my time at SEMA, and busy at night. It was our 42nd wedding anniversary, and I also had a friend with me. I'm sure there will be another time to see each other. Halloween was a kick on Fremont St.
Here are some pictures from SEMA. Like over 800 of them I took.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Seems to me like the Hot Girl to Badass Car ratio was pretty good at SEMA. I was in Vegas for Halloween too, wish I could have gone!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Were you on Fremont St too?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

How typical. Ditching your buds so you can go look at hot chicks.:lol:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

No we were at the other end of the strip all night. Didn't end up making it to Fremont St. unfortunately until the next day.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

You missed some fun and great bands. :metal:
Next year and every year after, would be worth it to do again, even if we don't see SEMA. :lol:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Before this ends you'll have a 230/3spd and be asking where you can get hubcaps!!:lol: Looking great Greg; hope you're feeling better and getting on this thing. I would like to do more stuff to my '64 but the cab is too beat to make it worthwhile; that got me back to my original idea of just hotrod truck. Although on yours I would love to see suicide doors with all the other things you've done and are considering.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Just got caught up with your progress, very nice. You found the little things I wouldnt have even noticed but I guess your work keeps you looking for the details huh? I oredered that same harness from tuckers last week and will be looking forward to your progress on it. Any more shots of the tank? Im going to ditch the blazer tank and run the same cpp tank. I always felt the blazer tank was "mickey moused" and figured I'd get over it but nope. Thanks, keep it up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Well i totaly dig the fender mods you did ......I drew mine out and have been looking at it for a couple of days now ....but it's got to be done...thinking i am going to extend the front of the fender so that it is as low as the bumper too. you have a great eye.....truck looks awesome
