Bring it on!


I bet you have got some $$$ in this one....No? I spent about $400 on my last one.Of course that was single stage and with me doing almost all the labor (my son helped sand a little and tape off). Dang! I am a tight bastage;)

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 
we have mounted the radiator, and hoses. I made some brackets out of aluminum to hold the shroud to the mounts. we are still waiting on our aluminum gauge faceplate so i can finish the gauge install. I'll get some pics up shortly. i am contemplating going with another edelbrock 1721 fuel pump as the engine was running good until pump failure. I installed the new oem fuel pump Shannon sent us and it will run if i keep feathering the gas. I think it liked the high flow of the edelbrock fuel pump.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 
The cluster was around 700.00 several month ago, we purchased it from cpp. Get with jeff @ cpp.
Thanks for checking out the build.

trying to catch up to you Geoff, the firewall is silver, the body color, think the sun washed the pic alittle. I need to look back at your build thread and see what you are using for wire looms. we have a small leak on the vc's in the bottom corners, and we are using the good gaskets you recommended. I dont think i am getting them tight enough since i am using some cheap plastic spacers to space the looms off the manifolds. Thanks for the kudos.....

It's looking good Heath. I might end up getting rid of mine.

I bought the wire looms with the spark plug wires from a guy on CL....so not sure on the makers.....now that I think about it, I believe I still have a leak on the passenger rear of the valve cover too....ummmm

ill take a look back through your build thread. I think our issue is that it was missing the spacers.....

Brake lines need to be installed. Rear end needs the spacer kit installed. Front bumper needs to be put on. HAHA. Sooooo close....
