Thanks man! I wish my entire cab was in red like yours! I need to get my fenders and doors on and get them gapped first before I wanna spray the rest, but the rest of the cab's pretty much ready!

I've been sanding down various places with 2000 grit paper, then buffing with rubbing and polishing compound.

David67 · 06-22-2011, 09:33 PM

The house got hit by lightning this morning! It completely went down a few 70 ft. pine trees and onto the roof. Loudest thing I've ever heard in my life!!! We smelt smoke at first but my mom called the Fire Dept. and they checked it to be ok.

In other news, I picked up a new radiator/grill support. The old one was rotted out pretty bad, especially under and around where the battery was.

Slick67 · 06-22-2011, 11:00 PM

That was some nasty weather we had this morning, but we needed the rain!!! Glad everything was alright!! The paint looks incredible! Great job.....

**oldman3** · 06-22-2011, 11:55 PM

Sorry to hear about the lighting strike, glad everything is OK. Typical on a lot of the radiator supports (Jimbo's was bad). Truck is looking good.....Jim

Yes we did! It fried some electronics and we're trying to get it sorted out but that's it. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you very much! Yea I got the right mounts for the 67 support today(I had some from a while back that came with the cab mounts but they were for 69-72 trucks and wouldn't work. I want to keep it black but don't know if the paint that's on there is durable and if I should respray it. Any thoughts anyone? I also put on the fenders for a little while just to see

Also got the distributor hold down so it's in there and I bolted down the cab for good.

David67 · 06-28-2011, 01:27 PM

Here's the shifter before and after! I like how it turned out.

David67 · 06-28-2011, 01:47 PM

I blasted and painted the lever while my brother sanded and painted the knob white with black numbers. Sanded between coats so everything's very smooth. I also put a chrome nut on there to break everything up. Details!

**oldman3** · 06-28-2011, 02:52 PM

Slick......Jim

David67 · 06-28-2011, 06:26 PM

Thanks! I like it cause you don't see too many of these transmissions in these trucks.

Slick67 · 06-28-2011, 06:30 PM

Yep.....that looks awesome. I like the 4 speed, that adds character! Same shift pattern as my old 68 VDub.

David67 · 06-28-2011, 06:34 PM

I hope to tie in a little bit of white elsewhere (Gauges, seat?, maybe tailgate letters)

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-28-2011, 07:31 PM

Nice job ...

nds1968 · 06-28-2011, 09:38 PM

Nice truck

My 67 has the same 4 speed but mine needs a little work, it doesn't like to stay in 3rd gear

Slick67 · 06-28-2011, 09:46 PM

Gauges!!! http://www.whitegauges.net/categorie...1967%252d1972/

Thanks! SM420? I think they're pretty rare in these trucks being that 67 was the last year they were in production. I've only seen a few on here and could probably count them on one hand. You're really gonna love that transmission if you check out this site... http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/sm420.htm
It's a beast!

A few days ago, I couldn't resist bolting up the fenders. The bed is on there now and it looks like it's sitting lower in the back (where it should be). I know there's a bit more weight to go on still but I'm not sure if it'll compress the springs that much. Regardless, I'm going to wait till it's all together to really look at it but I wanted to know yalls thoughts at this point...especially those who've run an Early Classic 4/6

David67 · 06-30-2011, 01:25 AM

Headers, ignition coil, air cleaner, and carb will be here by Friday

67chevy1series · 06-30-2011, 01:56 AM

wow looks good! that fender is clean. it as a nice drop! i hope it rides nice for you.

tantrumpipeline · 06-30-2011, 02:05 AM
