You know I didnt want to say anything.
It is ~always~ my luck that it would be his mom or endeard auntie or something like that and I have to mumble an apology with my foot in my mouth....
But still, now that it is out there. :smoke:

When I disappear it's always for work. I've never turned down a job and probably won't for a while. Things have picked back up over the last two months and I'm riding it out. I'm still keeping up with threads, well, except this one. :lol:

I'm not sure if it's picking up in general or if everyone is trying to spend the rest of the money in their budgets before the year ends. I guess I won't know till a few months into next year, but either way I'm eating it up while I can.

I just wanted to say that I love your truck and what you are doing with it. It was great to read your whole build thread and watch how it is going. I totally understand the waiting until money arrives to get more done. Keep up the great work and keep us updated!

I looked at how this fellow cut his hood and could not help but wonder what he was going to do with those turn signal wells.

Damn it that truck is sick. I love the hood idea and firewall. I think I'm going to have to do that. I'm a gluten for punishment. :lol: He should just shave the t-signal holes. I joined that forum just to see more of that build. It must be nice to have all that money to spend on your truck. :waah:

Nail on the head. Work, work, work. It was almost 70 degrees here today. It felt like spring and I was working. I'll try to get something done so you guys don't forget about my thread. :waah:

Greg I just came across your build thread yesterday and stayed up way too late reading all 35 pages! You are doing an amazing job on your truck. I live in Vegas and am also building a 66 with a Corvette Zo6 motor. Mine is similar to yours but not quite as nice.

You have some great ideas and I wish that I had seen your thread sooner. I would love to get together some time to see your truck in person.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your future posts. I am very impressed.

Thanks. As you can see from my thread I haven't done a whole lot lately because I've been in and out of town with work and other projects. PM me in a few weeks and we'll set something up. Love the ZO66 name. I thought about putting that on a license plate at one time.

Is it "soon" yet? Just kidding, as I totally understand why this takes a long time. I have been rebuilding a mini bike Honda for my kids.... and it is just sitting in our school's shop 3/4 completed and no time to work on it.... of course, it is hard to ride one in -40 degree winter and a couple feet of snow....:metal::metal:;);)

I've been working non-stop for a few months and I finally slipped out to the garage yesterday. I cut a slug to shave the antena hole. Yes, that's it.

Looks good. Next week you can weld it in. Don't want to rush things then you'll have nothing to do.

The trim sleeve just needs about 2" cut off the bottom so it will slide down far enough to bolt back on to the column. Hope this helps.
Probably showing my experience with this question...
is it possible to perform this steering column shortening procedure without completely removing the column from the truck?
This is a project I've needed to o for years and the time is neigh!

Nope. You have to pull it. Luckily it's not that difficult to get out and it's well worth the work.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 
i got a question about this too! i get the 3" cut between the two bolts, but off the bottom of what do you cut for the 2" cut??

You'll have to cut the shaft down by the rag joint, sleeve it and weld it back together. I'm going the rack and pinion route so I'll have much more work when I get to it.

chad64chevy 03-26-2012 04:30 PM
Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 
thanks for the info., i started to stare at your pictures more and realized you have to cut the shaft 3" and notch the cover plate, so it can be bolted up under the dash! i'm blonde and had a moment, lol!! i started cutting mine, should have it welded back together this weekend, and painted!!

Correct. You do have to cut both. The cover is basically a trim piece and just needs to be notched so it will fit back on after the shaft has been shortened. Good Luck!
