Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

well!

i got some stuff today.

despite being fairly chilly, in the 30's. i worked past it.

i bolted up my glasspacks to the headers. but, due to the angle, i may take them off, and notch the collector/reducer so they're parallel to the cab, instead of pointing down, to make the exhaust routing alot easier and straighter.

i also put an electric heater in the cab, so it would warm up a bit, and layed down some seam sealer.





and to quote myself, "i got enough caulk in there to float a double wide!"

it should be tight. lol.

also threw some foil backed insulation under the gas tank, and it'll go under my rubber mat as well.



put the gas tank in as well.



and thats what i got done today.

also fired her up, of course. .

she sounds pretty good through those glasspacks. but, don't worry. she's loud when i want her to be. haha.

i'll see if my video turned out.

but thats where she stands now.

let's hear it!

-Sam.
