nice job on the air cleaner !!! also i dont know if you want the letters to stand out on your valve covers or not but if you do Ecklers has the scripted logos in silver for $10 that you could put on them, just an idea you might not want yours to stand out

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sweet!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

that looks great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Gotta admit.....I thought so too!!! Thanks Dylan!

Thanks VA, one day I'll be as good as you at this stuff.

Thanks Heath, it's comin together....finally!

Thanks 67! I have seen those and am kickin the idea around, but just can't make up my mind. They are cheap enough to buy em and test.

:sexy: I like it!!

Thanks Bro! I've been waiting to get to this point for a while now.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looks good up there :chevy:


Sooooo......are you considering the offer???

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

hmmm... are your gears turning?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

28k..so Sold or not??? thats a big chunk to walk away from !!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I dunno. Have not had the chance to enjoy all the hard labor yet. You understand I'm sure.

Yep. Just don't think I can do it. He went as far as to ask me to paint the inside of the bed instead of doing liner. He told me to sleep on it and get back with him. The truck would be sent to Cali and that would suck cause we need more in Texas!

Not yet!! Once it is finished it would bring that, plus some, and I would be able to enjoy it for a little while too. The guy told me to keep his number and call him when, and if, I decide to sell it.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Man, he's finally got something custom that nobody else has( the whole truck in my opinion) and he's thinking about selling? Great looking truck. Hope you get to enjoy it for at least a little while.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the (custom) compliments! Not really thinking about selling it yet, I do want to enjoy it a little before I make that mistake!!:devil: Sidenote: The guy who won second place in the entire show owns a 68 Chevelle SS 396.........that he BOUGHT about a month ago, and 2 weeks ago I had to help him start it to get it home because the positive battery cable was just layin on top of the battery post. Sometimes more money than sense is a shame.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got my transmission lines ran after spending about 4 hours buffing and bending and re-buffing them. I hope they work with the headers. I also got my bed aligned better and my front bumper aligned more to my liking. I still have to adjust the tailgate. The trim over the taillights is on temporarily for aligning purposes but not on the pic.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nice! Just keeps getting better and better....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

And more expensive and expensive! The lines will only look good for about 8 months if I'm lucky. Clearcoating them may be an option.....what do you think?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I've had only decent success with a spray clear as sometimes they yellow or make the part cloudy...

You COULD just sell it when it comes time to buff them again ;) :chevy:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

What about the header clearance?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

"Should" be fine...since it looks like they're on the frame most of the way but I guess it'll have to wait till you get them in to be sure.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Really worried about buying and then they don't fit. I'll have to see what the return policies are for em before I purchase.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

She's really lookin' good bro! I wouldn't have sold either, thats a nice offer, but enjoying all your hard work is priceless. I wish I was in Texas so i could come and see it. Keep up the good work, i hope my trucks turn out this good.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It is a great offer, but only if I finish it off how he wants it. His ideas were good and probably what I would have done anyway. Wish we could all travel around and see each others rides, maybe one day!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

The Parts Gods smiled on me today! Shiney things! Couldn't wait for the prop valve so I went ahead and istalled it.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Saweet! That bling looks great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

:lol: Bling..... Thanks dude! It made it a little brighter under the hood for sure. Now for the prop valve, plumbing, calipers, and rotors. Still need to buy some slotted drilled rotors.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey David, you just dont get tired of showing off huh? As always looking "splendido, camion bello"....:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Just wanted to say wow. Your truck is amazing, and your work is very impressive.

I haven't been on the site in a long time because I have no idea when I will actually get a chance to work on my 69, but after seeing this thread I'm going to have to have a conversation with my wife about making it a priority. It's been in my family for about 26 years, but unfortunatley it has been in a shed at my step-dad's farm for the last 12.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

:lol:How do we stop???? I am just following your lead, wish I was half as talented as you and wish I had half the engines you have layin around!!! Thanks Bro!

Thanks Olin! I hope you get the chance to pull out the vintage and start workin on it. Talk to the misses and include her in the fun, it always draws a huge crowd when the ladies get involved! Thanks for your compliments and please save that 69! The payoff is huge in the end, I am almost there and it is worth every minute....and dollar! I'm really excited at this point. More pics soon.......

What are you doing up this early on a Saturday??? Thanks!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

i am going to do the same thing with the "opti clean" bottle on mine, i was hoping to get that done before anyone else did it ..... i guess i am to late !!! nice touch

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sorry!:lol: That thing has been sittin around the shop and I finally washed it and painted the bracket. I think it looks cool under the hood, didn't even paint the cap on it.....kinda rusty lookin.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

you can buy new caps and new labels for the bottle, they look pretty cool with the colored fluid in them

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I need to check into the labels. Kinda like the old cap though. A nice Wild Turkey 101 label would look cool cause it has some orange in it!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Things are getting a little too shiney on the drivers side under the hood so I opted to paint all of the brake lines gloss black, that is dust on the lines in the pic. It looked pretty cool and they "hide" a little better on the frame. Wow......I need to do some touch ups in the engine bay.
