Re: 198Plus build
 

Messed around with my engine today, I had an old set of wires and said to myself what the hell..................Houston we have lift off, started the new engine up and it sounds awesome. Sure am glad I went with the Big Block.

Re: 198Plus build
 

It is the lighting. those pictures taken of my truck were at dusk. In the sun it looks just like your fender. Looks good man!

Re: 198Plus build
 

I think I may be on to something.....Took the drive shaft out of my 1964 GMC parts truck, factory power glide and checked the drive shaft
measurement........Looks like a perfect fit for the Big Block Chevy and turbo 400 trans swap with engine in factory location.......Can I be this lucky ;)

Re: 198Plus build
 

That color is going to look great on your truck. Can you answer a question for me. I'm at the point of installing the big block in the frame. I see that you have yours in. I'm using brothers tubular engine perches what motor mounts did you use.
Thanks for the help

Re: 198Plus build

Special thanks goes out to PPG for supplying me with right at 2000 dollars worth of Free paint for my truck.

Re: 198Plus build
 

What!!! You don't even have to sand on your truck and you get free paint.WTF.:lol::lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

How did you manage that???:metal: And that's all you get for 2 grand?

Re: 198Plus build
 

can't beat free, good deal!!!! :c2:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Oh I have moved up the ladder at the shop, they let me sand now ;)


It's called being at the right place at the right time. I was in the paint supply store that's in same building as my shop, which the man I rent my shop from own's the paint store. I was in there poor mouthing Joey that runs the counter and the PPG rep over heard us talking and out of the blue he said hell I'll give you the paint for your personal car. Little did he know the base coat paint I wanted was right at 750 dollars a gallon, then plus the clear. I think this paint has 28 parts pearl, that's why it is so high.

Re: 198Plus build
 

congradulations on the free paint, i also got lucky one of my closest friends runs a body shop and through him sikkens is giving my paint,and primers as well,they are calling it a demo,i call it pure luck.by the way your truck is looking great.cant wait to see it finished.

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks I thought it turned out nice. The firewall had already had epoxy and black color put on it, I'm just going to scuff it up before paint.

Thanks

Re: 198Plus build
 

great build looking good

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks.....

Re: 198Plus build
 

I originally painted the firewall and bottom of cab chassis black, but decided to do all the same color as cab, so it needed a little more work.
