i get accused of getting on the couch every now and then.....:devil: i see we are close in age where we make every minute count and enjoy the time in the shop more than the couch

Re: 1968
 

Wow, George, you are getting a lot done! it's all those little things that add up.

Re: 1968
 

A body in motion is what I try to keep doing. Thanks for stopping by. George

Re: 1968
 

When I started this build I thought to myself. This parts only cost a few dollars new so I will replace it. Well a hundred parts well you do the math.

Re: 1968
 

Today, I installed my heat shield insulation. I still got to install my floor sound deadener. I probably got ahead of myself. But what the hey. At least I did something on the old girl instead of setting on the couch. One day this week I want to install the intake and distributor and wires. Maybe the valve covers Maybe.

Then I installed the drive shaft. It looks like I will kave to do some sanding on the driveshaft. It has two rings on the tube from the vise. I even had a towel wraped around the tube. But still it came thru as you can see.

made a appointment with the welding shop for the hood metal. I was going to get another hood. But metal is cheap and labor is free.

Re: 1968
 

Looking good, I enjoy seeing your progress.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks and happy building.

Re: 1968
 

Today, I installed the wiper arms. Took about 5 minutes. lost the clip on the arms so i need to get one. Has anyone have a extra one.

Re: 1968
 

Didn't do anything on the truck today. It rained and just couldn't get myself movatived enough to get outside. But who knows maybe tomorrow. Going to pick up my Alt and top radiator hose tomorrow. I also need to find my speed-ometer cable and install it.

Re: 1968
 

Today I recieved some parts. They came from All America Billet. A set of metal chrome door locks and a set of metal chrome visor clips. They look sweet. And the best part is that they will never wear out for they are metal.
A top radiator hose and a Alt. Now I can get the engine all button up. The edelbrock intake and the Edelbrock valve covers and the distributor and wires. along with the Alt and hose. One step at a time.

Re: 1968
 

Still lookin good, buddy!

Re: 1968
 

thanks and how are you doing lately

Re: 1968
 

Today I was rummaging through my parts and I found a fiberglass glove box. It looks like someone applied fiberglass to the paper box and pulled the paper off. so I cleaned it up and painted it gloss black. I didn't like the gloss paint so I went with flat and it looks a lot better.

It has a small crack in the top of the fiberglass but that is never seen.

Re: 1968

I need the water outlet for the edelbrock intake. Does anyone know if it is the standard fitting for all the intakes?

Tomorrow I hope to install the edelbrock intake on the engine. There's nothing to stop me from doing so except motovation. I also want to install the HEI distributor and wires.
If I have enough time I will mount the alt and top radiator hose.
