After a 6 day week at work I rested up a little on Saturday and spent most of Sunday working on the truck. :metal: Painted up some small parts to put my front suspension on. Have a few more parts to paint and I'll be putting the wheels back on the front. :uhmk: Need to paint the axle and trailing arms and I'll be putting the rear back together. Hoping to have the rear done this weekend. :chevy:

Thanks guys!

63C-10: hopefully it will stay that way fer awhile. lol

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey guys! Small update fer ya! Well, after a wee bit of research and consideration it crossed my mind how hot it gets up here and how much I'd love to have A/C in my truck so I can comfortably drive it during 100 degree days. Sorry...windows down does Nothing when its that hot. lol So my 1st down fall was...oh crap...where do I get a bracket. Well, thanks to CaptainFab he showed me a place where I could get a set! :metal: Ordered them up and now they're here! Pictures:

Another downfall though. :waah: I won't be able to use the valve cover the way I have it set up because the bracket hits the breather adapter on the side. *sigh* Oh well. lol So, I'll be buying a finned valve cover from the same place I got this one. And I think I'll like it better as I can do some more detail work. But Man. That setup grew on me. :(

Re: Project two tone.
 

Valve cover in the for sale forums if anyone is interested. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

A/C!!!!:metal::metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks DW! :metal: It'll be nice on those hot days for sure.

Here's some better pictures. And now you guys can see my dilemma. :( Oh well, Hopefully the new cover will suit me well. Still bummed out though. lol :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Could you just stick some 1/2" aluminum blocks between the head and bracket to space the brackets out from the valve cover? Or maybe I'm not seeing/understanding where there is interference.

Re: Project two tone.
 

I was thinking the same thing an siggy, but looking back it still looks like you can run the back breather on a new valve cover it still looks sweet

Re: Project two tone.
 

I wish I could. lol Issue is that I would still have interference. I would have to space the bracket out some 5 inches. lol I'm gonna keep tinkering and see if I can figure out something. Thanks!
Yeah, The new cover with be a taller finned aluminum cover. So I'll be detail painting the fins. Its the one I originally Wanted to go with, but no body had ever gotten the smooth one so I ended up getting that one...then liked the setup. lol And now I can get the one I want. haha. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

TJ plug the hole behind the bracket and put the breather on the carb side. you can always get the other v-cover. you got me thinking about A/C now lol. eng is looking good.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks. lol yeah, If I don't end up selling the valve cover soon I'm going to save if for my next 292 I'll be doing. I still have one more to build so. lol Plans plans and more plans. haha.

Re: Project two tone.
 

I can't tell from the pic TJ, but will tyhe compressor once mounted interfer with the spark plugs?

Re: Project two tone.
 

Nope, the plugs and plug wires will be fine. I can bring the compressor up higher if I have those issues. It's pretty adjustable. lol :chevy:
