:metal:Thanks for joining the build Travis!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I'm late getting in here. Looks like good stuff!

Do you have a thread for the 56 also or just the pics?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

'56 was done before i found this site, i just have pictures..... Hope you get your truck problem puzzle worked out soon.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Just read the whole thing. You have one lucky son. You should be applauded for this build and time spent with your soon. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It's not looking good for me but I haven't given up on the motor yet.

I agree that you deserve a pat on the back. I like to see this father/son stuff. I just handed a 73 Plymouth Satellite over to my oldest boy and we're just getting started with it. So far we've rebuilt the front end (steering mostly) and broke the A/C. :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thank you sir! It's been fun! These comments keep us motivated, it's slowed down some since school started, and football keeps him busy during the week, he works at discount tire saturday. So i do some small stuff, but we typically try to get some work done on sundays...


BTW, how did the seatbelt restoration turn out?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the kudo's, I know the feeling, we have broke other things, trying to fix something...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

The restoration was too pricey at this time. It was close to $300 bucks. I will
have to figure something else out. Maybe I will find my originals someday.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Yeah that seems high......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

i feel your pain brother, looks like we went to diffrent schools together THE SKOOL OF HARD KNOCKS LOL! AWSOME work Heath it's very satisfying having done all that work, on the other hand your even happier that it's DONE!!! LONG LIVE OUR CHEVY TRUCKS!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

your 56' is the bomb! sweet build on that one also!!! v/r Mark

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Mark! My son is stoked , we still need to run the fuel line, and i need to decide on and purchase a wiring harness

Thanks, it's been a long haul....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Just came across this build.. Man it's looking good! My boys are helping me with mine, too. They are only 8, 6 and 1.. it might be done before the 8 y/o is driving!! :lol: :lol: Keep up the good work!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the kudo's Sir! It is nice building , and having help from the kiddos.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Have you decided on this? Which one(s) are you looking at? I need to be looking for one, too....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It will either be a Ron Francis, or american autowire. I have a Ron Francis in the '56 and i am very pleased with it.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I have been thinking of the american auto wire as well, $800 for the complete original kit though:jdp:

The upgrade kit that they have for $500 is only 69 and up and our e-brake interferes...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Are the Painless Wiring kits any good? I need a complete harness for my 69 project.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I have heard good and bad's . but they are just opinions. You may want to check out American Auto Wire (AAC) they should have complete updated wiring harness for your '69

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....I hope you don't mind me interjecting....I used the Painless system...the biggest thing with it is you need your old harness to reuse all the connectors....I am a complete rookie when it comes to auto electricity, but I did it without too much trouble at all!!!......I have also read that the AAW one is complete (meaning everything is there)....hope this helps....now back to Project Slo-Go 67 with your star....Heath and son!!!!:lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks. Will do that.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Paint.....Pictures.....update?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the input, guys... hope I'm not hijacking your build!! But the info helps!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Not at all Geoff, I recall that now..... Thanks for the info...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

still working on the hood, tailgate and fenders. nothig picture worthy at this time. we were able to run the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump, and from the fuel pump to the intake. I need to order a few parts to make that complete.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Come on Heath, everthing is pic worthy! Look at the crap I drug into the barn to start with....:lol: Be in Plano this Saturday evening, but just for the night. We will have to cruise one of these days!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I will swing by the body shop @ lunch today, suppose to have the hood, and fenders ready for paint, and i will snap pics. I will also show him the 2 choices my son has picked out for 2-tones......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Cool. Let me know the choice of colors too, maybe I cna get a pic drawn for your son as a Christmas present.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Cool, your drawings look good! You sell them or just do it for fun?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

:metal:
looks like we are going '81 chevy grarcoal grey on top, i believe '06 mercedes silver on bottom... with a sunburst orange stripe to break it up.... Kind gesture Slick :metal:

Getting closer, hood is ready for final blocking, as are the fenders...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67

Re: Project Slo-Go 67

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
