Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

you will love the seat, i had the same thing in one of my 68's and almost put one in my 65, they sit great,nice work.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Nice man! does it mount in the same holes or do u have to drill new ones and does it come with a center seatbelt? I'd like to get one myself but want to make sure my little one can be safe too,so we can hit up all the local car shows. Can't wait to see people's faces when this thing is on the ground. :chevy:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

How big of a notch did you do? How much room do you have under and above the bed?
For the cupped front, can I see a different picture than a side view of the lowers? Thanks.

With all that said, how hight does it sit lowered and how high at ride hight? Thanks again sorry about all the questions.

Loving this build and the attention to detail. Keep at it fella and keep us updated!

:metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx for all the cool comments guys!!! i will have some updates this weekend for sure. been working on my sending unit and have to make a bigger pickup tube for my gas tank.. also working more on the wiring

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Real nice work

I love the shop

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

wow, amazing creativity. You've done some great work!

How difficult was it to hide your spark plug wires?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx!!
it was easy. moroso makes under the header plug wires and they are a perfect fit

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

here is a lil update that has been eating up the time.. i installed my sending unit.. it took alot of trys to get the float setup right in that vertical tank and the weird angles. there wasnt room any more for the pickup tube to be with the stewart warner sending unit so i decided to make a new one out of some brake line parts. couldnt find any type of fitting for what i wanted to do so i took a 20mm bolt and drilled a hole through the middle of it..welded a washer to the head of the bolt. slid the tube through and epoxyed it in place..
i had to make some special tools to work through that small hole.. it wasnt fun but i made it work. also i redid all my compressor wiring and got my distribution block wired in

here are some pics
