Finished installing all my new bolts and screws thanks to Classic Parts. Driveshaft is ready tomorrow. Machine work takes forever around here. Then I am putting it on the flatbed and getting the body perfect at my buddies shop.

Soooo sick! You should bring it up to Columbus for Good Guys next summer.

[baggedbigblock]

I can def do that. Is that a big show? I thought goodguys was in Cali. I plan on hitting some good shows next year.

Happy Halloween!!!

Good Guys has shows all over the country. Is it a big show? Probably the biggest. Usually there's around 6,000 vehicles, it's insane.

Wow, I will make it for sure. It would be cool to round up a bunch of frame laying C-10's. Get some good HD rolling footage. My buddy makes videos, edits, hangs out the back of trucks for sick shots. I will have to bring him along. I need to get my engine parts copper plated. I'm trying to take some awards and I think a copper engine bay may help. Even though I am building this truck for fun I like to win!

Im sick w a fever which blows, because I am off of work but its 45 degrees out and I cant do crap to the truck. I snuck out today though and did a few odds and ends.

I got my new glove box trim in, I was going to paint it black and leave the letters chrome, now that I have it in person I think the chrome works well with the rest of the interior.




I got my license plate light bolts in from China. $5 shipped and its nice anodized aluminum with foosten leds.






Mirror is in


Road legal.


Body work starts at a pro shop in 30 days. By spring this thing will be siiiick.


Once I feel better, I have the weatherstripping to install to adjust the doors, install sound deadener, mass loaded vinyl, and carpet. I have not ordered the carpet but I am pretty sold on 80/20 loop to keep it original in style. Once the truck is getting painted I will have the bench upholstered.

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for the info. I have not heard of this. I am running a lokar billet throttle bracket and was planning on just trailering it to the transmission shop to have the throttle kickdown cable tuned to the trans. I heard of people burning them up because they didnt have the cable set properly. The trans shop can put a pressure gauge on it and get it right the first time, also they are my muffler shop so I can get my spintechs put on.

Ya , Im guessing they will add you a 700r4 tv cable geometry corrector..
the Cable has to be drawn prettyspecifically .
I have to get Two for my dual Quad..
I do love your truck though...........i dig that pancaked crossmember..

Vintage brass door knob as the new shifter. The grenade was the 1st thing I bought for the truck and I feel it didnt flow with the rest of how the interior was coming along.




Night shots of the plate lights, they are white, I dont know why it looks blue.

[baggedbigblock]

Thanks everyone for the compliments, it really gets me motivated to get this thing finished. I don't think it will ever be finished though

[VA72C10]

very cool! Love that shift knob!

[dr69burb]

Looking sick buddy!! Did you get those license lights on ebay? .. got a link?
Posted via Mobile Device

[baggedbigblock]

Here is a link to his store. Shipping took 10 days but the quality is nice and alot of places charge $20 or more for these.

Some daylight shots of the new shift knob, I absolutely love it.

[baggedbigblock]

I can't wait to get the radio patch panel and install a factory knob style ipod controlled setup. its going to look sweet with the 80/20 loop carpet.

[coulter]

Im diggin the updates man!!! you were right on the shift knob!! i like the new one much better

btw what color you gonna go with when u get your truck repainted?

[baggedbigblock]

Im going to do a proper satin black with a clear coat. I really like the look of the black against the copper and I will be running chrome smoothies with shannon cones w 3 1/4" G78's so it will look pretty nice all together.

Then I will have the interior bench seat, door cards, and shift boot upholstered in distressed saddle brown leather.

The real killer is I think this color combo will be amazing, but I do want shiny paint one day, so the plan is in a few years spray it the original seafoam green with white top and all the custom cab trim, etc. I am just not sure how the copper and brown leather would go with the seafoam green.

The wife wants a 63 caddy coupe deville vert, so maybe I keep this thing flat and let hers be the shiny ride?!?!? Decisions, Decisions.

A little soundproofing over the weekend. Just off of idle a 6dB drop.





just for fun pic

[VA72C10]

How did you measure the db drop? I'd like to do a before and after on my proj #1 build when I do the soundproofing/undercoating...
