67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

[67cheby]

Leevon, Charles Mayhew of Mayhews Racecars that is where my truck is

[67cheby]

well Grandpa just came through again , he just picked up the wrong color parts and took them back to the powder coaters , with a color sample this time of what i want it to look like

[VA72C10]

That's cool...guess we know who gets the first ride

[67cheby]

He will be the first one to light up the tires .... and he will light them up, he probably put over 200k miles on this truck before i got and i have seen him burn rubber ALOT!!!

[67cheby]

I work almost every Saturday, i sell cars.... so i cant wait for Grandpa to take it to the first show by himself, 79 years old , hop out, hit the remote and lay it on the ground....makes me chuckle just thinking about it

[VA72C10]

That will be a classic moment right there! You'll have to have someone with a video camera to catch the other people's faces

[67cheby]

thats a good idea , i would love to have that on film

lmao that is funny, now to think of that I haven't stopped laughing yet, bet he will even get a kick out of it.

Your truck is coming along more every day keep up the great work.

some very nice fab work ! just looked thru all 10 pages , again haha

[67cheby]

thanks guys

[1lo67]

Truck is lookn killer

[67cheby]

finished up the welding and grinding on the rear half last night , threw some krylon on it until after the final mock up , then i will sand blast and powdercoat the frame, got the tranny crossmember in and started trying to figure out my power steering hose situation....man that is tight to try to get hoses in there

[watahyahknow]

i take it that the semysolid engine mounts are simulair of those of a dropmember why dont you use hardline thats a lot thinner than the rubber hose

[67cheby]

i am combining my two threads to one "raising the bedfloor" and "67cheby 3.2 dropmember install" to one Build thread it will be titled....... "67 chebys dropmember build thread" i have a moderator working on changing the title now

[67cheby]

i dont think i can use a hardline, the powersteering pump has to move in order to tighten the belt, and yes they are the dropmember motor mounts

Those ps hoses are a pain! I had to hook up all the hoses with the power steering pump unbolted from the block.
