Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
On your comment for the harness issue - we went into this with a MUCH simpler plan & almost NO power accessories, but have since added almost everyone you can imagine... I had already purchased a new Painless wiring harness for the truck so we wanted to use it & then just had to add all the other crap along the way. All along it has been in Keven's hands though how he wanted to wire it & proceed.
As for the interior switches - my interior is going to be totally re-vamped & customized - so the switches we went with, although looking out of place at the moment, will fit right in with the overall scheme once the interior is completed & has all the aluminum accents & all. On the Holley intake - yes, I'm well aware that the stock intake would've worked better on the low end range, but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make to get the look I was after in the engine bay. Besides, this is not a "stock" LS truck motor (497hp) & I do have some power I can afford to "lose" & still be WELL above the factory rating for that motor!!! I just had a very specific vision of how I wanted this engine bay to look when I pop the hood & no factory intake cover or anything else seemed to work for me... Believe me, I am well aware of both Keven's skill level & his attention to detail with the truck - he's why I'm still using them to do all of this work!!! It's never so much been an irritation with the length of time it's been being worked on, it was always more a matter of the repetitive "gaps" in anything productive happening with the truck.... That particular issue seems to have passed since my truck was moved into its own little area & Keven has been allowed to focus more on it regularly. He still gets pulled, but I always knew that was gonna happen. I really appreciate you taking the time to go by & check out my build man - means a lot!!! Also always thankful for input & opinions - the world is full of those with knowledge & it's always awesome when it's shared!!! |
