lets see some progress

[thelonerife]

I went and picked up the vintage air but thats all the progress today lol.

My A/C upgrade will have to wait for another build phase. Unless some moeny falls off a truck in front of me or something.

[mcbassin]

Great score with the vintage air setup. I will be watching this part close. I just got one last week for my 69.

[thelonerife]

Thanks guys. Its going to be nice and cool in the truck. I'd have it no other way. I'm spoiled. I got a high hump from a board member and gave my other one to another member. So now I don't have to do anything but sand it down and shoot it.

sweet

[thelonerife]

I got the motor from my builder but my hands are beat up from unloading shingles from the trailer after reroofing the house so I won't be turning wrenches on it soon. I'll keep ya'll posted.

[67chevy1series]

i just got done paintin mine the exact same color i could tell buy the spray can buy your motor

[sourkraut]

engine looks great even thru the plastic. did you have any hop ups done to the motor?

[thelonerife]

no hop ups done as the budget didn't allow it. I plan to just do some cruising and swap meets in it. no burnouts or drag racing. If the 454 doesn't sell I'll sink some coin in it and drop it in.

[Dustydog]

Awesome build!

[thelonerife]

Thanks. I called ECE today about the spindles and Stan said they shipped mine Friday. I picked up my made in China motor mounts and tranny mount today too.

[68GMCCustom]

WOW. They had just got the castings in and where doing the '67-'70 drum to disc spindles first. Then they were going to take the equipment down for maintenance, then finally....CNC the '71-'72 castings. So...they couldn't tell me when the '71-'72 drop spindles would be ready.

I gave up, cancelled, and ordered from CPP. They'll be here today.

[sourkraut]

hey chuck i have some good(oe) motor mounts if interested. can even blast them for ya and powder coat them?? $25 +sh if interested, let me. just figured i would offer since you like chevy trucks

[thelonerife]

Thanks sourkraut. I'll just use these. appreciate the offer though.

[thelonerife]

They're here! I hope to get these on asap.

[sourkraut]

[thelonerife]
