that sucks, hope you make get the miracle you need to finish it and make it to the show

[project 67 sub]

not much of an update, was at the docs almost all day. but, i installed the front bumper, touched up the paint on the drivers lower a arm, drilled the holes out bigger for the plastic screw inserts, and remounted the front plate with a new black frame and a smoked lens cover. no pic of that but here is one of the bumper mounted and adjusted.

[67chevy1series]

yay looks like a truck again ! i mean burb haha.....it doesnt matter because the liscense plate will cover but why is that hole on the bumper?

[project 67 sub]

hahaha, i was waiting for someone to ask me that lol. that hole is in the bumper because i traded my chrome bumper to my friend for this one, i traded because i didnt want to grind down the chrome on a good bumper just to paint it black. that bumper came off of his 69 longhorn, the previous owner before him drilled 2 holes to the left(drivers side), for mounting the license plate, and cut that hole out to allow air to flow better to the trans cooler that was mounted between the frame rails while towing.

[project 67 sub]

got the drivers side and passanger side complete minus bleeding the brakes, regreasing a few things, and putting the wheels on, airing it up, and dropping it back down. also repainted the bumper again due to a few light scratches from people rubbing against it while walking in front of it oh well . and also took a pic of the front with the license plate on with the new black frame and smoked lense cover

[67chevy1series]

looks good

[project 67 sub]

thanks.
