Re: 68 project
 

Sounds like pretty good progress to me. I've never wired and I'm considering doing mine if it's not too difficult.

Re: 68 project
 

Very good progress, just nothing quick about this process, I am not really enjoying the line running and wirig myself but it has to be done :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Wires are run from back to front , as soon as a few more parts come in this week will be ready for building this motor :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Looks nice .

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
 

Started getting the cool it pad down on the floor boards and firewall. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

I came by your place the other afternoon and didn't see ya there. Had to catch a service call around the corner from ya. Looking good.

Re: 68 project
 

New addition for the 68, almost don't want to mount them cause the box looks so cool :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice! I like the NOS aspect of those, but I can't decide if I like the bumper guards on these trucks. It's funny too because when I had my beetle, I hated how it looked without the guards.

Re: 68 project
 

It is funny to me that I now add things to my truck that I used to take off and toss in the scrap metal pile because I thought they were ugly, just like the rear step bumper :smoke:

I have to paint them flat white and then let them rust a bit so they will match my front bumper :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

When do I need to come get that ugly rusty white'ish back bumper? ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Maybe soon, I pulled it off the other truck the other day, still up in the air what I want to do :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Just checking. I bought a 'patina' one for the front.

Re: 68 project
 

You are first on the call list if I decide to sell ;) The struggle is real though :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

Yes it is! Thanks Larry.

Re: 68 project
 

I laid eyes on that thing today. First thing I said to Larry was " Man that's a nice bumper " He said someone is already after him about it. I just seen this post. Lmbo. I wish you the best of luck on that thing. It looks AWESOME. I would seal it to stop any further rust and bolt that baby on the way it is! He had that jewel hidden from me. But he has hooked me up many times already so I'm not hating.

Re: 68 project
 

Had a blast today witnessing grandpas handy work. But I do think they should have gotten him some duck tape and some zip ties instead of a grinder and a Jr. mechanic starter kit for Christmas. He did some crazy handy work. Wish they would not have hide the bolt for the motor and transmission from him. That was not a good joke to play on him. Lol

Yet another crazy time hanging with Larry. And we still have all of the body parts we walked in with. Ready for the next one!

Re: 68 project
 

Exactly my intentions. I bought a 'patina' front bumper from Uncle, so I should be golden.

Re: 68 project
 

Time to get this powertrain back together and hear this thing rumble :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Trying to finish the inside out also.. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Looking good in there .

Re: 68 project
 

Looking good Larry, the dash looks really nice!

Re: 68 project
 

Looking really good Larry. I envy your progress.

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks guys, I am ready to hear her rumble !!! :chevy::metal:

Re: 68 project
 

what happened to the other gauge cluster? You running this one now? I'm having trouble keeping things straight. Lol. Rumble rumble. Is the sound Grimace made or the fry guys.

Re: 68 project
 

Kinda, still have to add in the tach ... :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice! I see a gear drive, should be able to hear that thing coming. What are your plans for exhaust? I am in desperate need of new exhaust on mine and I'm trying to see what others are doing first. :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

got ya.

Re: 68 project
 

2 1/2" through shorty mufflers ending before the rear axle with turndowns. This all starts with my Doug Thorley headers

Re: 68 project
 

You should know by now, what was true yesterday is not necessarily true today :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

I just cant keep up with your changes and mine at same time. Gonna have to start writing mine down on paper. Sometimes I think I change stuff in my sleep. Wake up n swear stuff wasn't like that the day before.

Re: 68 project
 

Well good day at the truck shop, about got the motor to the point of bolting the transmission back to it and sitting it down into the frame to stay :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Also hot the 68 wheel on the other day
