What do ya think?

Nice,... But I'd rather see it rolling a set of Billet Specialties "Bonnevilles". These are my favorite wheel right now.

At over $1000 per wheel,... I'll let you choose "polished" or "grey powder coated". Ha.

Also,... what's the name of the new shop? (Roger's Out Specialties?)

I love it! Those wheels give it a menacing look. And, in that pic, the tails almost look smoked. But, I don't know that I would change wheels just yet. Because I still love the look your truck has.

I like it

One more for good measure. There were several high end projects in various stages of construction at the shop. This 67 Nova was my favorite.

I got the 78 donor truck tore down. the frame is in the garage and waiting on me to find the time to start mating body to frame. pics inside

kevinmfduane · 07-27-2009, 10:10 AM

added some power steering fluid when i realized the cap had a small hole in it that allowed it to leak. pulled my dash cluster out and started painting everything white to have brighter gauges at night, also bought all new 168 bulbs to replace my current dash bulbs.

went out and touched bases with a local salvage yard for a 5.3/4l60 on sat. sunday spent the day w/ my dad at a family bbq. good times... its funny how i always end up working my @ss off over there though

ken your truck looks awesome with the coys but i honestly like the vintecs (sp?) better. just looks more finished. maybe if the coys were polished! just my .02. good thing that rear brake is leaking... now you can get the rear disc kit you have been shopping for.

cant wait to see what your buddy does to her! Dennis

I agree! It sets off the chrome trim on the truck dramatically. Wouldn't change a thing...imho.

Bob, I will be more than happy to spray Fred for you. My ultimate goal is to be able to get back to building full time. Like I used to do before the shop shut down.

thanks. Its a GMPP LS327/327 crate engine topped by an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and Holley 750 double pumper carb. the air intake is a universal kit from Spectre that's plumbed into the factory knockouts in the core support.

it uses the cam sensor, crankshaft reluctor wheel sensor, and a map sensor plumbed in the intake manifor to fire the individual coil packs. works good too.
the ignition box is programmable and has outputs for ignition retard for a n20 system too.
