The wiper motor is under the dash where GM put them from the factory.

I'm using the stock wiper motor like lolife99 said in the factory location......I made the filler panel for the heater box then fiberglass it all together (never again) :lol:

It's a 'fancy' block-off plate. I think w/the amount of work he has into it, he's mentioned it would have been easier/better to just weld-up the holes to smooth the firewall.

In the end, it will be worth the effort because of its 'uniqueness'.

looks AWESOME... how close is your breather to the hood ?? i just got my edelbrock tbi intake and my Holley throttle body, and it has to run a spacer and i am wondering with a spacer on it if my Air breather is going to hit the bottom of the hood ?? i am taking the spacer to a machine shop Monday to see if they can cut it down to 1/2 inch that is all it really needs to let the butterfly's clear the intake holes. Once again beautiful work, Yours is my favorite truck on the whole board !!

The hood is on one side of the shop and the breather is on my "ready to paint table" so I have lots of clearance right now......sorry I'm a smart a$$.....funny I was standing in front of the truck yesterday thinking the same thing....I have to make the base for the breather so I might get lucky and have enough to clear the hood.

Sorry, the valve covers are going on my "other" motor ;)

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 
you are pretty funny for this early on a Saturday morning !!! i guess in that case i have more clearance than you my hood is 30 miles away from my breather !!!

67cheby 11-27-2010 11:57 AM

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 
make the base ?? i cut the bottom out of my 70 model breather and welded it into the bottom of the 67 breather, it worked pretty nice

I think that breather assembly turned out great! What did you spray it with? Looks clean! And did I miss something.........not sure if you said, but since the coy's are on the step. What are you going to run on Hazel?

The flat black is made by Medallion and it's a single stage (super easy to use).

I never said what I was replacing the Coy's with but I had a set of billets made a few months back and they are patiently waiting in the garage. ;)

I was painting again today and since the weather was a little cooler it was taking some time to flash so I started installing the rear kit. This kit is super easy to install and I did this in between the coats so not a lot of time was spend on it........

I had to sale one of my "projects" to buy the stupid things and this was after I had to beg them to build the 22's. I have not bolted them on yet and I've had them for a few months.....it's killing me but I'm making myself get it on the ground first.....
