Thanks Jake! Slowly but surely! :metal:

Afternoon Gents!

Through out the past week I have been tinkering with the 66. Weather has been bad so cab work has not happened, but parts have been coming in for the 66. :metal:

Got my hei dizzy in and plug wires cut to size.

Found this braided hose sleeving that I could not pass up so I have been braiding all the hoses. Not quite as good as the real thing.....but looks good none the less.

Also got my lokar throttle cable mount installed. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Waiting on the lower rad hose which should be in tomorrow. Then I'll sleeve it up and install it.

Not much left to do to get this motor running. :bann:

Also got the cab set upright again to start working on the floors. Waiting on decent weather now.

All for now gents! :chevy::gmc2:

Re: Project two tone.
 

T.J. I can't wait to hear that monster, I'm sure you can't wait either...Just takes time...

Re: Project two tone.
 

Can't wait to hear it fire up!!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks brotha! Super excited here!
Thanks for checkin in Randy! Yep, can't wait either! lol
Thanks man! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Your rolling stock looks really good TJ. I remember when I was working on my cab and you kept saying someday. Know you are there.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Bret! Yeah, goes slow....but goes fast at the same time. haha

Re: Project two tone.
 

It will almost be a shame to cover that up with a body. Lookin good.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks 66Z71!

Well the weather has gotten somewhat rainy and cold again....and life has been crazy busy so I haven't been able to get a ton done. But today I had the urge to paint the starter so I did. Went with gloss black and stainless. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

:metal:
every step is one closer!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks brotha!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Like Don said, you're getting closer. It looks good.

Mine is the stock patina & grease shade. ;)

Re: Project two tone.
 

lol Yeah, little steps beat no steps at all. Hope to get some better time in tomorrow. Thanks for stopping in! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Great work, I love the six banger.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Keep up the progress Tj, we all can't wait to hear the rumble of the 292:metal::chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thank guyz!!!!

Should have a nice update for ya'all this weekend! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

That is going to be so nice... My dad's 292 would stomp my 283. Those are awesome motors stock. I can't wait to see how yours runs.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks! It should be a good runner!

Well now for an update! :bann:

Friday I spent most of the day sanding and sanding and sanding......then saturday morning I primed and painted the interior firewall and floor. :metal:

The primer came out wonderfully, but still fighting the gun on the paint. Oh well, the floor will be covered with carpet in the future anyhow. Enjoy guys! Should have more updates this evening. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looking good!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Nik!

Today I spent a few hours sanding on the fire wall. Have a spot of rust repair to do and I'll be priming it in Monday after work.

All for this weekend folks! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Making progress!!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks for checkin in!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Got the fire wall epoxied in, got some rust repair and run sanding to do before I spray urethane primer. But nice to have it done. Lot's more to do! Also got some over spray on the floor boards somehow so I may be repainting them again. lol Oh well...they'll be covered with sound deadner and carpet anyhow. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looking good, my friend! She's turning out great, keep it up :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Very Nice TJ! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Very Cool Brotha!!!:metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guys! :metal:

Weather has turned cold and rainy again and I have to work this weekend so not sure if anything else is gonna get done. But if time permits I'll get some more sanding done and hopefully some priming. Plan is to epoxy the entire cab and then do all needed mods and then time for urethane and paint! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Small update for you guys, today was a beautiful 67 degree day so I spent a rather long portion sanding on the cab. Feels like I didn't get much done, but I did get a fair amount done. lol Lot's more to do, supposed to rain tomorrow so that may screw up my plans to prime this in, but we'll see. If it's raining I'll do more sanding. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looking good TJ!

Re: Project two tone.
 

:metal::metal::metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guyz! Well the weather turned cold and rainy again so I didn't get that metal covered in primer. Looks like later on this week is supposed to be warm and gorgeous so more updates will be on the way. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Did ya do anything? It's hard to tell. ;)



Ain't I a stinker?:D

Re: Project two tone.
 

Dang you harsh! :lol: ;) I asked the same question when I was done!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey guyz! Quick update for ya! Yesterday I received some parts for the 292. I went ahead and got a different air filter because the one I originally got just wasn't doing it. Fins were to small and close to really paint between. So I settled with this and am super happy with it. Got some chrome wire loom as well. Figured ya'all can see that when I start looming wires. lol Until next time gents. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

T.J. your going to have that truck so Purdy that you'll be afraid to drive it...But I know you have other trucks that you can use...Can't wait to hear that bad boy fire up...

Re: Project two tone.
 

I tell you, TJ, if I wasn't going to stick to stock with my 292 I would have a lot of ideas from your build! Looks great! Kind of makes me want another truck with a 292 to play with....

Re: Project two tone.
 

Air cleaner looks nice!! I was thinking of buying one that was similar but now I am going to find a way of making it look different.

Re: Project two tone.
 

haha! Be no fear of driving it hear! Long as it's sunny and Bone dry! lol! Thanks for checkin in!
Thanks man, these 292's are simple and super fun....way I like'em!
Thanks! Yep, being different is rare and always awesome! Look forward to seeing what you come up with! :chevy:
