not a problem.after spending a great amount of time laying on my back staring up under the 67 dash theres all kinds of hiding room.just have to build a bunch of brackets and get some good wire clamps.

Added a new Antenna and ran wire for speakers today. Nothing too crazy but a major pain to take out the glovebox liner without ruining it.

[NORMSCOLORADO]

Got my hands on power brake booster, it cost me $0.00 just owe a favour to a friend. Tore it down and painted all the parts, here is the before pic, haven't taken the after pics yet.

[67Slider]

Used my 67 to jump start my 4 wheelers today. Then me and the boys tore up the back yard!

[Hubscrub]

sanded and painted steering column parts

[kcsa75]

I installed my tach that I've had sitting on the shelf for three months!

[oldblue1968chevy]

sounds like fun 67slider!


I attempted to install my junkyard hitch, realized im going to have to drill some holes, I'll mess with it this weekend.

[ChevLoRay]

Son and I gave up on trying to use the angle grinder with wire brush to get rust off...too many places are hard to get to. So, we decided to get it sandblasted. Then, we started pulling the front end off, so we can get as much of it blasted as possible. Still gotta pull the lower control arms/shafts, then the crossmember. Next week, we're gonna finish that part, then pull the rear end/trailing arm ass'y.

did a rear brake overhaul this weekend and finally ended the sqeaking! coming up this week is a new radiator, installing an overflow tank, transmission fluid/filter change and a distributor overhaul. i love having a box of parts just waiting to be put on.

[1quik70]

Drove it to work and back, then changed the oil and a header gasket. First time in awhile I could even get a vehicle in my shop!



Don't make fun of my dirty little truck, it is my Daily Driver!!!

[stich626]

Here is the factory set up


Cut the holes in the lower four and center upper to fit the Autometer 2 1/16th" gauges


Added a little paint


The speedo and tach backing clamps ,where a tad to short for the sheet metal backing panel so,, I added a little RTV and waa la


The autometer 2 1/16th" gauges fit the lower four spots in the factory panel like they are born there




The factory panel had the highbeam light in a gauge so, had to add one,
sadly the hole is a little off center..



The speedo and tach fit the factory holes "almost" the factory rolled the metal edges, so to close up the hole a little, I unrolled the flange a little , and Waaa la..



The highbeam and turn signal lights are l.e.d.



and the finished panel , only thing missing is the upper three gauges glass,
that is being buffed, then I'll install and have a better pic of the finished product..

[bigdogboxers]

snow snow and more snow.... bought a tranny filter and gasket kit but 31 degrees is just a little to cold for a concrete floor with no heater.

[shawno72]

I installed a new chrome rear bumper.

Ugg! Finished the driver's side rear last week. Haven't been back for the passenger's rear. Gotta do it....Maybe tomorrow. Thank the Heavens for the disks up front.

[pryorstemmed]

Warmed it up, adjusted the idle and hauled some firewood again!

[darkolive71]

Installed 1 ton brake booster, cleaned and painted the brackets and booster, replaced a wheel cylinder, and bled brakes. It stops alot better now!

[bollybib]

I reassembled and installed the passenger side rear wheel hub/drum and axle. I removed the differential cover, drained the oil (yuck), and cleaned the cover, attaching hardware, and gasket surfaces. I counted 41 teeth on the ring gear and I didn't see any obvious damage.

[Jeffs70]

Finished up fiberglassing my center console. Tomorrow I will be putting a layer of fiberglass bondo on it to smooth it out to the shape I am looking for.



Also did some work on my Radiator/Support Cover. The Primer is still a bit wet. but this gives you an idea of what it will look like.

[nickp51chevy]

I finally got an opportunity to drive it in the snow.

[wwotr]

Went and saw it at the shop, and after 6 weeks, the Interior Renovation is almost complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
