Just another build thread

[Slammed66]

seeing N2Billets thread goin on has motivated me to get to work
always wanted a 67 swb.

the start I have a 67 LWB that I used to drive daily , some bastard mashed in the front end on me and I parked it and lost interest .

Until now Im hoping this to be a quick build as I not going for a show peice just a nice clean driver. Ive given myself till the end of march to do this so this week end I got started about 8 pm friday night and here what we got done this weekend.


The truck a couple years ago




the damage



Enter THE $ 100 PARTS TRUCK!




Rip tear hack bang F%&K



That was it for friday night

I dont wanna get flamed or turn this into a how to pissing match all im gonna say is saturday involved a few cutting and grinding discs and a welder.

again started about 8 pm left at 2 But we now have a SWB frame.



next weekend a disc brake front end lowering springs and some paint!

[Deuce]

Sooo your really going to do it??

[Slammed66]

The ball is rolling

Not only did I shorten my frame but I grafted a nova clip onto a 50 plymouth last week!

Good Luck on your rebuild. it seems like your rebuilding the parts truck from what it looks like from the pictures. Two months is not much time to rebuild a truck, but if you work hard it is possible.

[Slammed66]

Im using the frame from the parts truck , as I can have the frame ready and I can set my body off the blue 67 onto the new frame with out having the truck blown all apart taking up 3x as much room

I will be cutting down the steel floor of the blue box to fit my new good mark sides. it seems like a sort ammount of time but its a challange and I work on these trucks everyday , I could pretty much build one blindfolded about now.

[Deuce]

If anybody can do it..............................."CRAZY MATT" can do it.

[krue]

Nothing like bowing up and getting it done!

[Slammed66]

yeah I keep lookin at the pics and wanting to go out there and flip it over and strat buffing the frame to get it ready for paint , I need a small recharge Ive been working on that ole dadge since tuesday , not wensday thats wings night lol , finish at the gym about 8pm get to the shop and work till about 2am , and be back at work at 8am I figured im young enough to do this for a while so Id better get on it ,been too lazy for too long time to thrash!

[muddpile]

When you were driving it, it looks like it was a really nice truck! I hope it all turns out good in the end. Also, I have to give you the award for ugliest parts truck, I mean it looks straight, but that paint all over really blows my mind.

[72MARIO]

Keep on thrashing. It's looking good.
What front clip are you going to use the chevy or GMC ?

[bglad420]

Whered your truck go????

[Deuce]

[72MARIO]

[Slammed66]

gonna stay 67 chev, with sumthin ultra trick thrown in , you guys will love it.

that parts truck has a very very nice painted 67 grill. Ill keep it around for now who knows I may get excited and build another truck outta my parts pile

[Deuce]

When you going to cut me down a frame???

[Slammed66]

well just as soon as those 18's roll my way

if your serious I will have the frame from under the blue truck
and I changed my mind and I let a certified welder tackle the welding on this one , hes more than willing to do another he loves this stuff as much as I do hes got an 80 long fleet body dropped 6 inches on air ride( lays rocker) with suicide doors and a diamond cut hood, and suburban roof skin it way way trick. sooo Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttts make a deal

[N2TRUX]

Looks like my thread got you going. Great, as that's what it was there to do. It helps keep n2billit on his mission as well. Keep those progress pics coming...

[tnblazerk5]

man thats a hugh shop ya got there and you got a bunch of stuff goin on in there too and they all look great

[Joesjunk]

Do you have a pic of that Camaro "relaxing" in a barn??

[Deuce]

I am serious. How much for the frame?? Do you still want those 3" drop 73+ spindles??

[Slammed66]

Joes junk here ya go






Deuce , I dont wanna spend a pile I like to trade, Yes Ill want them spindles
I thought of that AFTER you had purchased that last stuff at the shop , next time llemme know and we can work sumthing out

if you want to ditch the wheels I want em I can do the frame and possible have it set up awith 5 bolt runnign gear and possible painted.

well work sumthin out either way. for now BACK TO WORK

[Joesjunk]

Thanks! Cool old car. Is it a 350 or a 396 car? I have a 69 SS 396 that is about the same color combo.

[Slammed66]

WOW that things awsome!!!! Im a sucker for early camaros

Unfortunatly mine is a 350 car , its setup weird it has the close ratio muncie in the console??

oh well I love it for what it is and will be the car has a story so Im hangin on to her , My dad passed away when I was 12 , this car was his baby and my mom held on to it and gave it to me as a present when I graduated high school! im 22 now and I plan on having it fully restored by the time im 30.

[Joesjunk]

I really like them too. My Dad bought this one new, so I will never sell it. Dad sold it in 1973 and I found it and bought it back in 1991. I was 20 when I bought it.

Great story with yours also!! Keep it in the family!! I love seeing them before they are restored!!
