67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

[6772owner]

That looks awesome, cant wait to see it all assembled!

[n2billet]

What color are you going to do the frame in?

[67cheby]

the frame will be gloss black powdercoat, everything that bolts on to it will be this charcoal gray metallic.. ie.. dropmember , trans member,4link , the rearend is gloss black. I am not big on chrome rearend covers but i am putting one on this rearend because i think it will look really cool with the black rearend , chrome cover and the charcoal girdle on top of it

[67cheby]

2006 mercedes brilliant silver, trying to complete the build by oct 1 to make it to Goodguys Texas MOtor Speedway show ... the bed is the only thing the body shop has at the moment as soon as they finish all of the body work and get it in final prime i will take them the rest , doing as much of it as i can until then

[nuke1]

[0331grunt]

Looking good! Keep it up

[67cheby]

little progress got my 373s in rearend put back together and got it rolling again , also got my radiator core block off plates from Northwest auto fab $85 including shipping made out of aluminum, i like em

[Hart_Rod]

Looks nice. I just picked up a set of those from NWAF. Are you going to polish them or paint them?

[67cheby]

i was wondering what they would look like with the radiator cover i know now, that looks awesome , i will prob paint mine, since i am going with somewhat of a stock engine theme, the bad thing is i already have my core support powder coated and now i need to cut it up ....oh well i guess i will shave the humps on the top now

I'm having him build me one out of metal and he is going to make provisions for the humps so I don't have to cut the core support. It won't be as smooth as the aluminum ones, but I think it should still look cool.

[67cheby]

how much ??? i might do the same thing

Since his website didn't say anything about having to cut the core support --- same price, . He can also punch holes in it like the radiator cover, but I wanted to completely close that area off. I think it will force more air through the radiator and keep it cooler....
