Its picture time again
Here is the latest photos of my project. I got all of the parts back from powdercoat in mid november and this is what I have accomplished so far. I have been working a few hours a night I have about 160 hours into the re assembly so far. I cant tell you where all the time has gone but it just seems to slip away on me.

Here is the Ol 402. hopefully it won't be a "Run of the mill, Mill"
It is totally rebuilt with new pistons ring bearings cam lifters valve springs ect. I had the heads ported. The cam I chose was something for the street as this will just be my sunday cruiser when I get it done. I am told it will have a bit of a lope at idle and it will come on strong at lower rpms. Some of you probably noticed I am using a earlier style high rise intake. I still have the factory intake but I opted for this one instead. The engine shop predicts it will have about 375 horse with the GM intake and exhaust manifolds. I have used the por 15 engine paint kit on it. The manifolds were glass beaded then coated with por 15's exhaust manifold paint kit.

That has to be the prettiest chassis/suspension I have ever seen for one of these trucks. Great job!

that is very clean and nice, excellent job.
I am in the middle of the same thing. If you don't mind, how much did you pay for powder coating? After seeing this I'm thinking of having the front control arms and some other misc. pieces coated. Can you take them rusty/dirty parts or do they have to be clean and ready for powder coat? I've never had anything powder coated before. thanks for any info.

I have no problem sharing the cost of powdercoat with you, however because I live in Canada, I may not be the right one to give you that answer. I have seen a few quotes here on the board for powdercoating and it seems that they are a little lower in the States because of the exchange rates I think mainly. I used a local company here in Calgary to powdercoat everything. I disassembled the chassis, took it to the car wash to degrease it all. Then I dropped it off. They covered all the refinishing including the sandblasting. I had most everything I could powdercoated. From the entire chassis to the bucket seat rails, many small interior parts, engine brackets and pulleys Rad support+battery tray, The new box cross members, hood hinges+latch assembly, I also had them powder coat the inside of all the wheel wells. I think the total for the powdercoating is around 2300.00 Canadian which would be about 1850.00 USD. I don't know if that helps you without really knowing how many peices I di have refinished but for an example they charged me 500.00 to do the frame ant the 3 crossmembers that were left in it. A few things to consider are... if you can find a company to powdercoat you parts, try to find one that has done alot of automotive stuff. In my case the powdercoat company I used saved me tons of time by masking the parts off in certain areas before putting the powder on. As it was I had to spend quite alot of time removing some powder from a few areas and it was not fun. I also recommend having the company sandblast the parts themselves. It does cost more but it makes them responsible for the whole job. The only real negative thing I have found with the powdercoating is that if you have any rust pitts or corrosion areas in the metal then you are stuck with them. I had to search around to find a nice pr of lower control arms because mine were not so hot.

I'm with everyone else on the frame - it's a thing of beauty - something to dream of doing someday.
What I want to see is the other side of the garage/shop - it can't all be that clean! ![]() SSOW ![]()
