Hey man, I bought the same plug wires you have a while back. did you have any problems getting them on the plugs? I have stock manifolds on it for break in and they would not fit with the stock manifolds. I had to use a different set yesterday. I am hoping they will with my headers. I guess they should.

73gmc454 · 08-29-2011, 07:51 PM

Thanks guys for all the kind words , you all are keeping me goin !
I used the correct rosette rivets , I got them from ebay, 60 bucks for 4 !
I'm not sure about the manifolds but they are tight on my headers , I think they are supposed to run under the header but I put them above ,which then I had to get my holders just right to keep them off the headers,
Today I got the correct sill plates ,I had bought some nos but they were for a crew cab , was able to get the carpet in and the seats bolted down

baclay9 · 08-29-2011, 08:14 PM

Thanks man, I hope they fit with my headers!

Looking great as usual!

This has been a fun build to watch, hard not to like a yellow GMC with a 496! Everything has come together great and your fab work and attention to detail is impressive!

Dash turned out great all i can say is how much for 1 uncut? PM

rocking chevy · 09-05-2011, 09:45 AM

whats the brand of stuff you used on your dash? I picked up some stuff this weekend, and sprayed it on a piece of scrap, left it out in the sun and it faded by the end of the day.

73gmc454 · 09-05-2011, 08:15 PM

I used the rustoleum brand from walmart , I was able to get the headliner installed tonight , I just need the rear panel cover and make some pedals and the inside will be complete for now,

rocking chevy · 09-05-2011, 08:23 PM

thanks, it looks great.

73gmc454 · 09-05-2011, 08:33 PM

Also I have had the dash out in the sun for a few hours a couple times and it looks good , you just cant wipe it with anything, I put some vinal type protectant on it using a paint brush and rubbed it in with my hand, it made it look even better

73gmc454 · 09-07-2011, 08:38 PM

Got the gas pedal roughed in today after work !

kikkegek · 09-08-2011, 03:09 AM

73gmc454 · 09-09-2011, 12:08 AM

Thanks , Glad you like the build ,
Just got a couple things done today, got the rest of the pedals roughed in
Since I used the 73-74 rear headliner trim ,I cut the bottom off the 77 's and played around seeing if I could get them to fit , not sure if they will stay or not ,

hotrod_991 · 09-27-2011, 09:49 PM
