I realized I didnt post these pictures.

jays68yak · 09-11-2011, 09:34 PM

Did a little work to the hood this weekend. I needed to blend in the front.
A little cutting and some bending

Filler pieces cut from parts that I had cut off. This way they had the same contour.

Still needs a little bit more welding and clean up.

VA72C10 · 09-11-2011, 09:44 PM

Looking good! Any shots from further away to see the overall look now or waiting till it's finished?

jays68yak · 09-11-2011, 09:55 PM

It's not on the truck, but on a cart so I can work on it. Next time ill push it out and get a few pics.

any more updates on this???

jays68yak · 09-21-2011, 01:25 AM

yes and no. I did get the hood all welded up, both front corners moved forward a bit, the back of the cowl trimmed, and it bolted back onto the truck.

Ive got some wood in the back holding the shape, I need to weld a piece in there to keep the shape. Then bring the center up a tad.

Ill be taking a small break from it as this weekend I need to prep my wheeler for a trip the following weekend to the rubicon. And got another parts truck to part out.

*project 67 sub* · 09-21-2011, 02:35 PM

any better side shots of the front of it where it slopes down in the front???

jays68yak · 09-22-2011, 10:44 AM

Maybe once I add some body filler. lol. Im not to happy with it right now. Not to mention with all the filler that was on the hood, its not perfect.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-22-2011, 02:07 PM

really aweomse build!

68greg · 09-24-2011, 01:51 PM

subscribed like the hood/hood scoop really cool idea and the way you fixed the p.o.'s frame (for lack of another word) "fab" work also your slimming down of the factory intake will be watching with intrest.

mcbassin · 09-24-2011, 07:14 PM

the hood looks great. Keep up the hard work!

jays68yak · 09-25-2011, 10:10 PM

Thanks for the kind words. About the only thing Ive done this week is order some drilled and slotted rotors for the front. Under $100 for the pair to my door.

I hope they work.

Been also getting this ready for a trip to the rubicon this coming weekend.

With that said it should be a week or two before I get a chance to do anything to this. I wish I was driving it already.

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 05:39 PM

any updates???

jays68yak · 10-15-2011, 12:06 AM

Not really. I did a little sanding on the firewall tonight. I need to get that painted so I can toss the motor in for the last time. Then I can get some real work done.

This past weekend I went from this

to this

The previous weekend I did some of this

I dont think Ill be home much this weekend.

*project 67 sub* · 10-30-2011, 09:57 PM

bump for hood/build updates

jays68yak · 10-30-2011, 10:38 PM

Umm this project might be on hold for a bit. Ive got a pile of parts clogging my garage for another project. I just couldnt say no.

I think I need help. lol

VA72C10 · 10-30-2011, 10:46 PM

nice!

*project 67 sub* · 10-30-2011, 11:27 PM

ahhh ok lol

Mulk · 11-13-2011, 07:49 PM

Awesome build/re-build you have going for sure. I'll be following along

So I suppose its time for some kind of update..lol
Still building the 4x4, about to start a build thread for that too.
But having this thing as a beached whale in my garage is starting to bug me. So with some income tax money hitting my pocket, I bought some tires. Also got the headers coated but I dont have a picture atm.

Only got the fronts for now. Ive needed them so that I can cycle the suspension to make sure Im not hitting the firewall. I dont want to go through all the trouble of doing all the sanding to the firewall and then find out the tires hit and I have to cut into it.
Had to pack the bearings and get the new rotors mounted up so that I could bolt the rims on and cycle the suspension.

The only place it hits is the lip on the fender to mount the inner wheel well. Good thing I can shave that away. I think with that gone Ill be ok.

mud.man.rj · 04-20-2012, 01:31 AM

I really like the build, got some balls fabing up that hood man, nice job. Interesting build all around, keep the great ideas coming. Very original.

**67cheby** · 04-20-2012, 07:38 AM

They look great !

Post 23 you made I noticed the pass side floor board you welded up it looks like where seam sealer goes picture 6 and 7 in post 23. Can you tell me more about why you chose that? Great build by way. Brandon

Check post 19. See that patch I welded in on the firewall? The bottom of the patch lands at that seam. Just seemed like an easier place to land the patch seam and weld it up.
