Project: Tall Grass

[Slammed66]

Allright , I scrapped the existing fuel cell and mount and ordered a Boyd's tank.
It'll be here Tuesday!!

I also picked up a 6.0 and set of L92 heads. Looks like its gonna have some scoot too.

Pics when the tank is here!!!

[Slammed66]

Oh and this is how the 68 came out....

[classicchev]

Where did the Watts come from .. Need one like that for the Blazer, pan hard will not work

[Slammed66]

The Watts link is a thorbros peice.

Super well built. No complaints from this guy.

[classicchev]

All the pieces there???? :0

[Slammed66]

Looks like I said a bad word.

Classicchev. I sent you a text

[classicchev]

Thanks

[Slammed66]

Well I jumped aboard the Boyd's welding fuel cell train.

I'm sure glad I did. Fits awesome.

I had to relocate the last crossmember , to clear the watts link mount. No biggy.
Gotta grab some hardware tomorrow and get this thing permanently mounted.

[classicchev]

Progress!!!!!!!!!!

[Slammed66]

10-4 hoping to get the fuel system wrapped this week..

[RRC]

The tank looks good!!!

[Slammed66]

Thanks! I'm pretty impressed with the quality of it, so much so I order two!
Ones for the Hangover Express build in the 67-72 build area.

My small victory for the day, cleaned up the garage,
( gotta 83 swb to put a ride tech 4 link, bags, and accuair in)

And got this sucker bolted down. Sure drill some holes and bolt it in. Not this time.

I ended up welding nuts to the bottom of the top frame rail . None the less it's in , and looks rad. A trip to the bolt store and the haste shop for some fittings and ill have the fuel pump mounted tommarow!

[Slammed66]

I was doing so well, actually making progress,
.BUT side tracked again,

Another local saw my 72 , liked how it sat , and insisted I bag his 83 short box.
So I did, installed a ridetech air bar kit out back, with my own plates/ cups and slam 7's and spindles up front. And Accuiar for a solid setup.



Fast forward One day, MY 64 hits the road!!!!!!!!!! First time in 2.5 years !!



Unfortunately it was a passenger, on its way to our newly constructed home.



Where it has hijacked momma s garage until I can get started in the second garage in spring,

My tools and the 64 are finally in he same spot with no distractions....

Updates, real ones to come ,

[Mad Rods]

Nice crib bro! And congrats!!!!

[Low Elco]

WooHoo x2! Truck even looks good on the stretcher!

[PHAT TONY]

340-TRIO; good call. I see the new garage shares the same bench as the old one lol.

[Slammed66]

Who's up for some scrappy cell phone pics??

I managed to get the holley Hp125 fuel pump mounted. And plumbed the line from the tank to pump. -8 in with a filter, and then -6 to the carb. Which I'm working on now.








I also managed to get the starter bolted in , and the rear 4 link bars dialed and torqued.

Hopefully bang this fuel system out, so I can wrap up the brakes, and move onto wiring.



Figured I'd give this " organization " thing a try, so far so good , the list looks big but the saying goes , you eat an elephant one bite at a time.... Lol

[Notch1988]

Looking good Mr.
I've been thinking about writing out a "to do" list myself but can't decide between chalkboard or whiteboard. How did you choose?

A tough decision indeed , the white board was an easy choice, easy to clean and it's magnetic!

[YBNORML]

The whiteboard/ to do list is a fantastic idea. It's a requirement in my shop. I would never remember half the crap I need to do without it. Congrats on the new digs.

[tk-mpl]

White board is definitely a good idea. Except I would look at all the stuff on the list that STILL needs to be done. Get discouraged and go back in the house. Lol

Trucks lookin good Matt... Your making progress.

[Slammed66]

Thanks, I've actually found the white board a good way to keep motivated , it's great to see the items disappear.
I'll have the fuel lines wrapped next week when I'm back from work.
Then it's onto the brakes.

For now how bout some throw back Thursday ....

That 68 is sweet.

Your 64 hits the nail on the head!
