I've been busy painting engine and assorted parts. The original 350 gave up the ghost, so I'm preparing a crate 350 to drop in. But I couldn't live with that ugly black paint...so she's Chevy Orange right now. I'll post pics soon.

Nothing as Friday night out with friends, woke up saturday with the hangover from hell, drove 200 odd miles to be at a friends 40th birthday bash, got up Sunday with a hangover, popped in to see one of my sisters on the 200 odd mile drive back. Plus for the last week or so it's been raining so hard here I've been waiting for Noah to come floating past collecting my two cats for a cruise!

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Got my truck rolling, finally (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?t=200006). Took it easy yesterday, just cleaned up the garage.

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Nothing truck wise, I watched the kids all weekend for the wife and did manage to cut the grass.

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Took a trip up to Greenville, MS for the ShowFest event. Got in Friday early afternoon. Met up with a couple of the guys from Primedia and did a photo shoot with them later that evening. Saturday morning, I had to load everything up and rush back home due to a family emergency. Got to cruise around and enjoy my truck tough!

Oh, and finished swapping out the bed wood on Friday morning. Back to real Mahogany this time around. (Trying to match the steering wheel)

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Went to the Huntsville Super Chevy show on Friday and bought a 72 Suburban while I was there. Worked the race track on Sat night as usual, then work later Sat night. Sunday spent it with my in-laws(AS USUAL :() Can't ever get out of that. Can't wait to pick up the burb on Wed.

I put all new brake components on my wife's '68. Then I couldn't get any pressure to the rear. I put on a new proportioning valve, same thing. I got a brand new BAD master cylinder that wouldn't pump to the rear!! What a bunch of grief that caused. Anyway she'll stop on a dime now.

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

I put the emblems on my C-10 and started taking the power steering pump off for replacement. I got sidetracked by a motorcycle ride :-D

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Figured out that I had no rear brakes on the rear of my truck, so I fixed that. Also clearanced my motor mount tower on the passenger's side to give my headers a little more room.

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
 

Man this is agreat productive group. Congrats guys to all the work...






hey- sounds like my weekend. cut grind weld, etc. hahahaha

I cut the front 3" off my frame, so I can mount my forward tilt front-end.

I welded 2"x2" 1/4" thick angle in the frame, and radiused the top so the hinge will sit nicely.
