Re: Senior Project Build

Re: Senior Project Build
Thanks for the compliments guys... its good motivation to keep going.
Now I need to: Put on the new Idler and Pitman arms Re-alignment 3 Point Seat Belts Figure out where the oil is leaking from Put on new header gaskets (exhaust leak already  )Take the truck back to the shop that built my trans. to have them fine tune Get a set of wheels that look better The list never stops. On a happier note, heres the latest addition to our family-   Shes a Golden retriever/standard poodle mix, and she is 10 weeks old. I think im going to name her Kylie. Let the puppy fun begin |

Re: Senior Project Build
Throw some crosses on man. My 69'
 Had those on for over a year. I got some some weird looks mostly WTF? Everybody used to always associate it with the swastika because they are very dumb. Now my 69 is this  All hand done stencils by me, took some sandpaper to roughen them up to make it look old and haggard. |

Re: Senior Project Build
You've got such a nice clean truck, Lucky...I'm thinking for spice, maybe some CST type trim? My neighbor just picked up a very stock farm-truck type 68 LWB CST, and it looks really classy. It's your truck of course, and you've shown good taste so far, so I'm sure it'll be great.
Just a humble suggestion from a mostly simple guy. What do I know!

Re: Senior Project Build
Suggestions are appreciated! I gave in an put Yenko stripes on it. I think it looks good.
  And had my X pipe installed today. It is awesome   I am debating whether I should pull the motor, I have some time off school and I would like to do this sooner than later. I need to redo the oil pan gasket cuz its leaking horribly, and I would like to stab lumpier camshaft in it. It also needs either a new carburetor, or a rebuild. I don't feel like spending 50 bucks on a rebuild kit, it will still be a junky Edelbrock 650 when its done (if I even put it together right). I think I will save the money and put it towards a new (or slightly used) Holley double pumper. I'll keep searching CL. Last edited by LuckyHenriksen; 11-21-2008 at 08:40 PM. |

Re: Senior Project Build
I think you are right, and yes it is mostly stock. I actually found a nice deal on a new Holley 600 single feed and it seems to work great. Now I don't want to put any money into the motor, because I want to swap over to a Gen III LS2 ;]

Re: Senior Project Build
Thanks man, I found the stripe kit on egay, they are supposed to be for a Camaro or Chevelle. Those 50's-60's bugs are pretty sweet, are you going to put in a dropped beam and make it rat rod style? I have wanted one of those for a long time.

Re: Senior Project Build
I got all the front end components as a kit from Performance Online. They are single piston calipers.

Re: Senior Project Build
When you pull your pan, I would get a new one, often time cheap no name brand pan's aren't the right size, and hold oil like a colander.
I would go for a Moroso kick out pan.

Re: Senior Project Build
And by the way, that is a pretty slick truck.
The one I built in high school was a 70 Chevy short bed, loved that thing.
