bought some body filler (the better cheap crap from autozone) so i can start doing the body work on my replacement fender, bought a few more tools to and stuff to use to work on it with, bought some electrical stuff, bought my push starter button, drilled the mounting hole and installed it, just need to wire it up. i decided to go with the blue cover instead of the red or clear that it came with, i just wish it lit up, but oh well what do you expect for $30 . i also started doing some more wiring repair under the dash, should have done that when it was out because it would have been alot less hassle, oh well live and learn haha. i also added the headlight and wiper switch connectors back on (sorry no pics of that) as i decided to run the stock switches again.

[project 67 sub]

got some more fittings and line for the rear bags, relocated the ignition switch to the inside of my center console, extended the wiring for the ignition and wired up the starter button. all wiring is done under dash for now except for the gauges which i can do from the front of the dash where the cluster goes. also took a pic of my mirror cover just because

[67chevy1series]

i seen this in the wha did you do to your truck thread an commented....

[project 67 sub]

opened up my porterbuilt panhard bar the man in brown dropped off yesterday. all i got to say is beautiful welds and excellent quality products

[kev2809]

man that looks good! i shouldve went that route with mine..wish you could leave it raw just to show how nice they look original.

im really digging that push button start...have you tried it out yet?

[project 67 sub]

haha i know right. yah, i bumped it over but didn't start it up because i have my hood sitting behind my burb, and dont want two black spots on my hood lol. but it woorks good.

[project 67 sub]

finished grinding down the plate that i cut out to box my lower arms in with, and picked this up for $10 to replace the one in my burb, and yes i know it is for a 67-68 gmc and it is in better shape than mine minus the part where the hood pin thing goes in the center but i will remove that from mine and install it on that one, will probably also gut the handle and move it over or use part of the one from the one it is replacing so that it is not offset

[project 67 sub]

started the install of my porterbuilt panhard bar, almost done, just need to paint and install the bar

[project 67 sub]

finished installing the pb panhard bar, just need to adjust it. also removed the rear lower bag mount and cut out the cross bar that i had put in it that wasnt strong enough and was bent. will be replacing that with some dom tubing.

[67chevy1series]

it must be a pain to jack up somthin this low

[project 67 sub]

lol. if the suspension is aired up it isnt a problem, but this time it was because my dads little compressor took a dump, and it was sitting on the ground. good thing i have no floor in the back haha. but still was a pain in the a$$, and took forever. had to use 2 bottle jacks and some 2x4's just to get it high enough to get the floor jack under it from the side as i couldnt get to the back of it either.

[67chevy1series]

dayum!

[project 67 sub]

hahaha thats what i said when the compressor took a dump. guess i need to invest in a good portable one or something for now lol.

[67chevy1series]

[kev2809]

try jacking the truck up when its dumped, with flat tires, and in the grass! talk about a pita!!

[project 67 sub]

haha no thanks, but at least you can get to the back lol.

[67chevy1series]

ño offense at all but this is one reason why i am glad my six seven isnt lowered..... all though i might end up lowering it a little.....time will tell.....

[project 67 sub]

haha its ok, the only reason why i had such a hard time is because i couldnt get to the back lol.

[project 67 sub]

adjusted the pb panhard bar and threw a quick crappy paint job on my glove box door will redo it better later. and took a couple of pics of the clearance of the pb bar and brackets just perfect lol. and also took a pic of the part of the rear brake line that i can see from underneath.
