love the lights! i cant wait til mine is running and driving i will then start getting all my chrome new!

srea76 · 02-05-2011, 09:49 PM

Looks like some good finds. Hate I missed it, but would have been a long drive for me with bad weather. Wonder what tomorrow would be like? Usually sunday is kind of slow and with this bad weather some might have left early.

I love the stuff I got, But some venders were gone. Or had there goods covered.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a better day.(weather wise)

I was happy with what I got, But was surprised with some of
the things I couldn't find. Thank goodness for the internet.

i am guessing no bow tie in the grille and the little inserts that are rivited in the grille and hen that means no parking lights in the grille hence them being in the headlights.....

spike38 · 02-07-2011, 12:27 AM

I photoshopped and antiqued this picture to get the look I'm going for.
I'm still not 100% on a color, But this is my latest thoughts

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:29 AM

Don't worry, I'm using Corvette ralley rims, with baby moon centers for now.

tantrumpipeline · 02-08-2011, 12:24 AM

that's nicer for sure, one day I want a 67 with the chrome 20in corvette rallies, all original trim, big block, small window, in a super high gloss black, one can dream

spike38 · 02-08-2011, 01:58 AM

Tonight, I finished my tranny.
I started out with new clutches, Steels,
Seals, And gaskets.

Then I added a shift kit, Modified the baseplate,
Reworked the vales, New sprigs, And modified the
torque converter plate.

Gave it a fresh coat of paint, And added some billet goodies.

It was a long day!

Spike

VA72C10 · 02-08-2011, 01:59 AM

very nice! That looks great and should perform even better! Where did you get the pan and flywheel cover from? Skip white or somewhere else?

67chevy1series · 02-08-2011, 02:01 AM

looks great!!!

Thanks Rick, I think it took as long to clean the pig,
As it took to rebuild it.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I hate to set a date,
But it would be nice to be driving it this summer.

I couldn't tell you how many nice comments I got on the
wagon at the swap meet. And people asking to take a picture of it.

The axles are a bad subject,

New ETA 3/6/11. I'm looking for another source. If I trusted the local
machine shops, I just have them redo mine. But that's out of the question.
another option, Is to get a whole rearend out of a full sized 70's car. And
put my saddles on it. But we'll see.

Great Build. I like your gas tank install and transmission. Colors are great.

Thanks, I got the gas tank idea from mrhino's silverdollar build. A lot of good
ideas on there.

Spike

spike38 · 02-11-2011, 06:54 AM

Yesterday, I got my my engine and tranny put back together,
And bolted into the frame. For good I hope.

Now I need to run the fuel lines, And brake lines.
I may also rebuild the starter today.

Yeah! I love that 50's style Batwing.
It holds a 14"x4" K&N nicely.
It shouldn't have any breathing problems.
