Bob Grant is a very talented builder out of NorCal, just outside of Chico. He did the metal work on the '67 SWB for Clint Petree of KP Components a few years back.

WOW....what a PIMP, man i cant wait to see what you guys have in store for the HOE..... his metal working skills are off the hook !!!

**superflysteiny** · 11-17-2010, 02:53 PM

I think the coolest part of this build will be the nomad rear and roof. Should be really cool

mac72 · 11-17-2010, 10:11 PM

I used his tailgate skin & it was perfect!! Not a bad thing to say about Grant Kustoms.The hoe is in good hands

**superflysteiny** · 11-17-2010, 11:21 PM

I have heard nothing but good about him

There was a clean '57 at the strippers this morning.

Dropped Steiny's cab and front clip off for body prep.

**67cheby** · 11-20-2010, 04:05 PM

sweet cant wait for the progress

**superflysteiny** · 11-20-2010, 08:52 PM

Boy did Devin and I have a hell of a time getting the front section off. I am a dip stick as I for got to remove the feder brackets from the rear of the fenders. Thank god the corners flexed enough for us to get them off, or the front section would not have come off. Also I would like to thank Devin (dsigh) for all of his help. I did not know him 6 months ago and he reached out to me and we became good friends. Thats why this board rocks.

Anyways thanks for all the support

The issue is chevy manifold with straight injection is higher, do to the way the intake runners come off the heads if that makes sense. If this was a ford I would not be having this issue. So let me know what you guys think. This is a big investment so I want to mahe the right choice. Thanks

Sorry, I'm a little late for my opinion, but the cross ram is sick. I like it better than the straight velocity stacks. With the amount of custom work going into the sheet metal, the cross ram would fit in just fine. And, oh, you are right...this is a BIG investment. I looked into getting one until I found out how much the cost. I called Kinsler and got my feelings hurt bigtime.

I'm subsrcibing to another of your bad@$$ truck builds.

Kinsler is way over priced 8000 starting price. Total bs

slooter · 11-22-2010, 12:42 PM

Are you still going with the straight up injection.......?

**superflysteiny** · 11-22-2010, 01:03 PM

Yes I am going with the inglese I am just hoping it does not come through the hood

Jacfourteen · 11-22-2010, 02:47 PM

Struts look way better moved inside. I didn't know that Grant Kustoms was right down the road from me, I've seen them mentioned in a few mags but didn't put it together. That hoe is gonna look great judging by your other projects, can't wait to see that project start. I've seen the hoe thing done on 67-72's but never seen it done with the earlier style, should be cool.

**superflysteiny** · 11-23-2010, 12:18 AM

Thanks I think the hoe will be really cool.

Wow.... don't know how I missed this build? Thanks for posting all the photo's, very inspirational.

Do you have any pictures from the side of the truck of your front bumper tuck? Cool mod, thinking about doing the same on my '65 but was wondering how low the bumper hangs.

Thanks!
