Bumper and emblem saved! :metal:

Re: The Blue Goose
 
Yeah, I wished it was something like the bumper, id be a chance to get a matching chrome front to match rear....

it was wierd, right before i heard the 'CRUNCH' i was plotting to put a ziptie on dads driveshaft before sis drove his truck :lol: then CRUNCH I run to the window to look out, shes pulling forward and looking at me :(

Trying to fix a dipstick leak and got a copper oil pressure line today. Havent checked to see if its still leaking. Oh and put some new plugs in and upped the gap from .35 to .45

That sucks about the grille. :( Looks like it can be beat out though. The Goose run better with the plug gap change or can u tell a difference? Pretty amazing how close that rustoleum paint is to the original.

oldblue1968chevy 11-10-2011 12:08 PM

Re: The Blue Goose
 
Mmm, maybe a lil better acceleration. My manual called for HEI 350 to be gapped 45 so thats what I gapped the new plugs

Yeah the bed was painted 1 thin coat for 10 bucks lol

ps its not original, po painted over nice patina
