1969 Chevy CST/10 comes home [Long-term project "OrangeCrush"]

So, headers that we have, dont fit. Damn. Sweet set of ceramic coated shorty headers, but wont fit between the frame rails.




Got the transmisison crossmember bolted in, horns replaced (another free-be from a Caddy, original one was dead), the newly straightened grill back in, alternator water pump pully, and the beginning of HELL.... Wiring.

Ahh, look at that. No big gap at the top like before.




Beep beep.. Wired in the snail... I mean horns


We may get the drive shaft in, not totally sure. Its purty rusty, and its no loss to go and get a custom one made, thats a one piece, and not the two piece like original. Better actually...


If I ever hear any one tell me their car is dirty, try the frame rails of this truck. The grease was so caked in around the crossmember bolts, I had to spend time trying to clean them off, just to get a wrench on there. Only to get showered with dirt and more caked on grease every time you knocked something or turned a ratchet hard enough Goood times..

Now just working on wiring, which is slow, slow work. The guy who owned it before my neighbor, really did a crack-job of bad wiring. Lets say one wire alligator clips to another wire, which again alligator clips to the fuse block....


MMMMMMM, so clean I eat with them
