Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
at least daydreaming is still free....
well, dont look like a lot, but i got almost all the hard points squared away. got the hood opened, stretched frame & int tub, scabbed what was left of the sneaky pete firewall in there, & got a big block 4 spd happening. just got to whip up a rad support, then spend a bunch of time pretty-ing it all up.... and built chevy tough, dropped it on the floor, expected to see my multi-piece body become multi-piece again, just cracked the front window  the engine is a blown big block out of the Hugger Camaro drag car that i been streetifying, almost ready for primer- race block, no oil filter boss, first time had to make one of them.... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It looks like it coming together really nice even with all your other chores. It's cool you have a dry place to store your camper.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
yeah, it is nice, no worries or snow damaging it, plus it free's up a good chunk of my driveway...
well, remember this..... we just started an apartment burn job (fire) & all the single pane windows are being replaced, contractor is like take as many as you want, so i grabbed 10 did this today. had to leave the middle wood one- it basically holds it together dawg like it.... thinking 'bout starting this one too. it's a decent kit, pro-streeted one of these a few yrs back. all there & un-built except for the 409. i ordered a flame mask off fleabay for it, undecided wether to order 37" MT baja claws, or 44" boggers for it |

It's high enough and looks great with the 37" tires

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
alright then, i'll order the claws, $4 cheaper a set as well....
but not till end of the month. credit card i use on paypal expired, got it all updated, just need the verification number on my cc bill.....but i have no financial stuff at all online, so gotta wait for my cc bill in the mail at end of month....between work & preppin for winter, not a whole lot on the sub. snagged these shocks from the ford krusher monster truck, got most of the front end in started the rear springs & axle, beginnings of a roof rack, & like a real chevy, headers were hittin the frame big time, ended up throwing stockers on also scratched up a visor, put valve stems in the rims & painted them, still need to be detailed |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's looking great, it's hard to believe it's two blazers put together. My dad proposed to my mom while they were having a picnic under a railroad bridge. The location of that bridge was inudated by lake Oroville. I think I was about 13 or 14 that spot was out of the water and we had a family picnic there. A lot of my family history is around Oroville/Paradise area. Theres road by the old family ranch that is named after our family (Welsh Rd). I'll shut up before I bore you with too much family history.....lol

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
not boring! i find family history interesting
i would imagine water must be expensive there right now.... it was actually an article about food prices going up due to the drought your having that took me to lake oroville....another effect to the dryness... and still dicking around with the sub before paint thought the hood was too plain. was able to slice this out of .020 without cutting threw or breaking it....knife did slip in the middle there though & left a "repair" mark there... didn't like this either so like the '55, made some filler panels |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
also been messin' around with the roof rack.....
made a axe & shovel for the rack. there's a scale hi-lift jack online i would love to get, but with ship/exchange, $45 is pretty hard to justify....and i dont think my eyes could drill that many holes.... not 100% sure on bumpers. like stock bumpers, but their not beefy enough for this sub. was going to make one, but might adapt part of this bar & use (my favourite) the stock bumper |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Thanks, my family history in California goes back before the gold rush. Mostly Oroville and Humbug in Plumas County. Where I've noticed the increased prices is Hay bales. Straw hay is almost $10.00 a bale. A couple years ago you could buy alfalfa for half that. The hood bracing is a great detail. The roof rack is looking great. Great work and awesome detail as usual. My vote is the guard and stock bumpers

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
wow, you've got some time there!
my grandpa came to the valley in the late 1890's, but my dad spent a good part of his life back east before coming back to the valley and having me. he has 20 acres up north he's building his retirement home on, used to buy, now he grows his own hay for his herd ... (2 holsteins)on the downhill slide now rack is done. put little hooks on the side braces so i can add or move stuff around modified the bar a bit and changed the mounts (off the amt '84 gmc) was going to use skyjacker shock decals but after i reduced them they were just red blobs... pretty much everything but the body is there, hoping to get it painted soon, some minor touch-ups to do |
