a teaser of what's to come. Painting new exhaust with high temp rustoleum black (except for glasspack). Going to remove the manifold and redo it too, with all new gaskets and donut gasket. BTW started this thing up when I cut the old exhaust off at the down pipe and WOW!! This thing sounded like a cammed out big block!!

Clear lenses look great, and she is going to sound great with glass packs. 6 cylinders sound GREAT with glaspacks!

Thanks! Yeah, I can't wait to hear it. Also have a HUGE chrome tip to finish it off! Trying to take my time and do it right. Painting it all with high temp paint, new gaskets, and going to take off the exhaust manifold and clean it up and paint. Will take longer, but it'll be sweet in the long run.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-25-2011, 10:01 AM

wow never heard glasspacks on a inline 6 lol

treveiger · 08-25-2011, 12:26 PM

Make sure you wipe it down with something like mineral spirits to remove the rust preventative coating they put on the pipes and scuff it up with some sand paper to give the paint something to hold on to. It won't stick well to smooth steel.

Don't worry. I've already planned to do a video. How do you post one on here? Youtube then post a link?

slick copper · 08-26-2011, 04:07 AM

Thanks Rick! Unfortunately I've already got it all painted now 68tt! Hopefully It'll stick for a while anyway. At least my manifold was prepped and painted right though.

slick copper · 08-29-2011, 01:04 AM

Well, got the exhaust done! And boy does it sound awesome! Definately a unique sound. Like a gas version of a diesel engine! The wife and I went cruising around in it a little bit today went and visited some family. Sorry guys took pics, just have to make you wait on 'em!

67chevy1series · 08-29-2011, 01:37 AM

exhaust done is good!

oldblue1968chevy · 08-29-2011, 10:14 AM

no video?

slick copper · 09-07-2011, 04:35 AM

Still working on the video guys be patient! Rain over this weekend put a "damper" on things.
Also please be on the lookout for a spare tire carrier for me (the kind that goes under the bed). Need one bad, I'll buy it, or trade something I have in spare parts for one! Let me know!!

I have one but the shipping would be disgusting.

slick copper · 09-19-2011, 01:09 AM

Took ole Copper down to a car show Saturday! Had a great time. Didn't win, but got a door prize and made some new friends and memories.
Updates if I hadn't mentioned them:
-Put a roll in bed liner in the truck, it turned out great. I used Duplicolor Bed Armor kit.
-Temporarily fixed the pulsing in my lights, need to convert to a new internally regulated alternator.
-Got an oil change in the truck at the Penzoil station, and had them put Nitrogen in the tires
-Polished all the chrome

Don't worry we took pics at the show! There were some nice trucks of ours there!

Cool pics! Any of the bed with the bedliner? Thinking of it for my current project. Any tips?

slick copper · 09-19-2011, 01:32 AM

Here's a pic of the bedliner after I got done. Also the 2" reciever I pulled off of the truck. This thing is like brand new! It's made for our trucks. It is for sale. I'll take $80 for it. And they're like $150 new. Hardware included. I'm gonna post it in the for sale area too, just thought I'd mention it here.

Guess I's too slow! The kit comes with a scuffing pad, but I used my drill and wire wheel brush first. Just take the time to prep it good, wipe down with some degreaser, and take your time. I wore gloves, safety glasses and coveralls, because this stuff splatters, but this is what gives it that nice even look. And mask it off real good. I got a lot of compliments and questions at the show. A lot of them thought it was a spray in pro job. Of course I can only vouch for the Duplicolor kit, I don't know about the others. Oh, and it says too put the second coat on in 1 hour, but I was worried, and gave it 24 hours and put on the second coat. Worked great! Good luck!

I'm in central/eastern KY. If you look at the map or know where Lexington is, I'm two counties to the right in Mount Sterling/Montgomery County! Yeah, starting to get some tranny trouble (whining, grinding sound but it pulls fine don't know what exactly it is) so not wanting to go too awful far with it right now. I wish we could get everyone on this site together sometime, boy would that be awesome! Think about how many trucks that'd be! Feel free to come up this way sometime!

oldblue1968chevy · 09-20-2011, 09:59 AM
