New hoops look great, Duane! I really like the way they fit the wheelwells.

Thanks! I'm thrilled that she enjoys it. Makes it easier to get away with the upgrades (sometimes, and only easier, not easy :lol:).

Greetings from Argentina!

Take a look at Intro Wheels.

Thanks Vic, I'm happy with them. I went smaller because I fully intend to use this as a truck, towing and all, and a 22 with 35 series tires isn't the best ride when it comes to that.

Thanks guys! It looks like a completely different truck to my wife and I. They make a world of difference in the appearance, and a drastic difference in the ride quality too.

Thanks Chris. No new shots of the engine compartment yet, nothing has changed so far. But... here's a sneak of what's coming.

Thanks Keith. I'm pretty happy with them.

So here it is installed. I like it. I have some original SBC valve covers painted the same way and some CFR Performance adapters that I had planned on running. I might still do it, but I'm not sure anymore after seeing how good these look. The coil covers were supposed to be temporary. :lol: But they look so good!!!

Yeah, man. That works!

Dieselwrencher 01-26-2018 06:54 PM

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 
That looks nice. If you plan to sell the adapters later, I might be interested in them for my Camaro project.

Pretty slick, Duane! Just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks Ryan. If you want to make me an offer, I might consider selling them. I don't know if I'll use them, but there could always be another project in my future that I could hang onto them for.

Thanks Vic. I say the same thing every time I see your build.

Here's another shot of the engine with the coil covers on.

I'm going to (eventually) figure out an intake cover for it. For now though, I think it'll stay like it is. oh, and when it warms up a bit, the intake tube will be all black. No more polished pieces.

I went to the local Trucks & Coffee this past Sunday. Here are a few shots of the truck before and at the gathering.

Those turned out really nice! I always thought a body colored mid-70s trans am shaker scoop would make a good intake cover
