Hey, i have your problem. I have a 454 in my 71 and the bottom hose kinks also.. As long as its not cutting off more then 50% of the water your fine... Mines not kinked to bad, but just annoying.

Thanks.... Josh was that talking about last weekend or this coming... haha. Nah, I'm not doing anything else until I get the hood on and the truck back to the body shop for wet sanding.

I finally loaded the truck up to take back to the body shop. They are going to line everything up and wetsand it. :metal:

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Thanks... it's been fun but a lot of work.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Hey NWD02,
Got any new pictures?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

man this makes me feel like a loser..when I bought my truck just over a year ago it was in WAY better shape than yours and you've passed me up by miles.....GREAT JOB!!!

Dont let up, I wanna see the finished product.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Haha, thanks jack...it's been really hard getting to work on it. I've been working like crazy lately. I should be posting more pictures soon.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Cellphone picture, sorry for poor quality. My truck sitting outside body shop waiting to get wetsanded and buffed.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Tonight after work I primed the tank... I'll be painting it tomorrow morning.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

sweet build

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I was having trouble installing the new vintage air servo controls... until I spoke to Ken Gould at
Wayment Mfg.
417 Main St. P.O.773
Filer,Id 83328

This what he's come up with thus far... not a completed product, will post pictures once completed and installed.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

NWD02,

Please, please could we see some good pics of that blue in the daylight?

Thank you for your trouble,
Charles

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I will as soon as it's back from the body shop. I haven't forgotten about you. The body shop isn't close either or I'd go take some.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Thanks Dude.
After seeing your truck, I am really thinking to paint my GTO that color!
Can't seem to find a good picture of it anywhere in the WWW. Got a bunch, but they are all Corvette's and the body lines on them give you a false impression of what it will look like on a flatter panel such as what your Truck and my GTO have.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Nick, Thanks very much for the spare parts. They were in much better shape than I was expecting. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask. Once I get the burban legal I will bring it by so I can see your truck in person. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress. Harlan

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Thanks Harlan... it's been really cool meeting so many nice board members. I have other people to talk trucks with, because my wife sure is tired of hearing it... haha.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I know exactly what you mean!! By the way I told my wife about your wife saying the suburbans looked like hearses and she agreed. Thats fine with me; that just means that whenever I get it fixed up I won't have to worry about her saying it looks "cute".

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Just an update... My truck went from the body shop to the painter. Everything has been lined up and they had to fix a few things with the body work (passenger door). Now it's getting a few spots fixed, wet sanded and buffed. Will post pics hopefully this Saturday of it home.
