I've seen where the first showing of a finished project there's for sale written somewhere. Good to know it's not just a project to you.

So it looks like your driving it some! Nice ride dude

[Mike Bradbury]

Finally getting around to saying congrats on the TOTY award. It really looks sharp. I wonder if there is an award for the longest build? At least longest build thread? LOL

i think that you risking it at that amount they might think its a fair price , i seen trucks sold at that price at high end auctions
even if they where offering that you prolly still had to think about it , its taken you a lot of years to build it with youre own hands to get to where it is now and its a hereloom thats been in the family all its life

Congrats on Toty, definattly top notch.

I think we finally have it running right, we replaced the Ignition Module and put new plugs in and dialed the timing in, i think it was running so rich that it had fouled out the plugs hopefully that is all behind us now !

On to getting it all touched up and get the little things all handled to have it ready for the Starbird show at Tulsa Feb 14-16 th !

[Rusbuilt]

Sweet Mike! Can't wait to see pics from the show!

[superflysteiny]

[67cheby]

[67cheby]

thanks man !

Hey Mike. I am running the same fan set up as Cloud 9 and I am running into probs with my alternator. I upgraded to a 96 amp and the shop is saying it still is not enough. What alternator are you running? Thanks KT

[67cheby]

I am running a alternator from Painless Performance it charges 70 amps at 700 rpms and up to 120 amps at 4000 rpms I believe ?

at 2:10 in your famous for 1/2 sec. :-)

haha. Congrats!

[67cheby]

LOL, just 1/2 a second of fame....

[67cheby]

does anyone else have this problem ? This is the top of the line(for aftermarket) , triple chrome plated bumper and it has this dip in it , so i got another one and it is the same way ????:??

[~Whitey~]

looks higher on the right than the left. You can't adjust that with the brackets?
That's all it looks like to me.. just needs adjusted.



Looks like mine had a little inward dip to it as well.. If that is what you're talking about.

[67cheby]

i guess when i get it bolted back up i might put a jack under the drivers side and see if i can tweak it a little ????

[Scottshotrods]

I have two bumpers here for a customers truck we are doing now.The chrome bumpers have the same dip you have in them.We are going to send the bumpers off to Sherms plating to have them stripped and reworked and replated.But this will cost some $$$$$.

[67cheby]

hmmmmm...wow, so they are all the same !

[screaminchevypickup]

Every aftermarket bumper I have had is that way!!

here is one thought i had, Clamp it down by the top edge to a flat surface and cut the liscense plate bracket top to bottom and see if that lets the bumper flex up and the weld up the pie shaped slit it would leave in the lisc plate bracket ? any thoughts on that approach ?
