New hoops look great, Duane! I really like the way they fit the wheelwells.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-10-2018, 07:52 PM

Yes sir, that looks sweet!

Thanks! I'm thrilled that she enjoys it. Makes it easier to get away with the upgrades (sometimes, and only easier, not easy

).

Thanks Vic, I'm happy with them. I went smaller because I fully intend to use this as a truck, towing and all, and a 22 with 35 series tires isn't the best ride when it comes to that.

Ya, like those better than the old wheels.

Bennett68C10 · 01-12-2018, 09:04 AM

I love the new wheels Duane, seeing them makes me miss me 68.

gringoloco · 01-24-2018, 09:24 AM

Truck is looking good! Any completed under hood shots?

mcbassin · 01-24-2018, 05:08 PM

Very nice!

Thanks guys! It looks like a completely different truck to my wife and I. They make a world of difference in the appearance, and a drastic difference in the ride quality too.

Thanks Chris. No new shots of the engine compartment yet, nothing has changed so far. But... here's a sneak of what's coming.

gringoloco · 01-25-2018, 11:33 PM

Really like what you’ve done there

**zicc1835** · 01-26-2018, 12:15 AM

very nice ..... inspiring

Bennett68C10 · 01-26-2018, 09:02 AM

Very nice, really like those coil covers.

Thanks Keith. I'm pretty happy with them.

So here it is installed. I like it. I have some original SBC valve covers painted the same way and some CFR Performance adapters that I had planned on running. I might still do it, but I'm not sure anymore after seeing how good these look. The coil covers were supposed to be temporary.

But they look so good!!!

gringoloco · 01-26-2018, 03:51 PM

Yeah, man. That works!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-26-2018, 06:54 PM

That looks nice. If you plan to sell the adapters later, I might be interested in them for my Camaro project.

**Vic1947** · 01-26-2018, 06:58 PM

Pretty slick, Duane! Just keeps getting better and better.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Thanks Ryan. If you want to make me an offer, I might consider selling them. I don't know if I'll use them, but there could always be another project in my future that I could hang onto them for.

Thanks Vic. I say the same thing every time I see your build.

knomadd · 01-30-2018, 05:22 PM

Here's another shot of the engine with the coil covers on.

I'm going to (eventually) figure out an intake cover for it. For now though, I think it'll stay like it is. oh, and when it warms up a bit, the intake tube will be all black. No more polished pieces.

knomadd · 01-30-2018, 05:25 PM

I went to the local Trucks & Coffee this past Sunday. Here are a few shots of the truck before and at the gathering.

gringoloco · 01-30-2018, 05:33 PM

Those turned out really nice! I always thought a body colored mid-70s trans am shaker scoop would make a good intake cover
