Re: Silver Dollar

I wish this truck was available before I built my truck. It would have saved me a lot of work. I think the price is fair considering what's in it.

Just cut a few of the connectors off.
remove the wires you dont need from the connectors and pull each unused wire out of the harness

retape everything your gonna keep.

the pile on the right is what I had taken out.


I also installed a completely new wire harness in the truck using a mini fuseblock.

I check all my connections with either a multimeter or the battery charger.


making sure I have the wiper switch hook up right



and this is the panel I came up with. it has the fusees for the power wires for the engine harness plus all of the relays I am going to use. It should be a little cleaner when its finally done.
Holly **** Batman...I couldn’t do it. I can't concentrate that long on one thing!
But you are doing an excellent job I must say.
Keep up the great work.

Did you make it out to the show? Im glad I went, and didnt listen to the weather people, it was a beautiful day up until later in the evening.

I got a great reception out there. Everybody i talked to loved it. thought i had a few good buyers really interested, but I still drove it home. I parked between two other guys selling the C/10s both very nice trucks. the 67 was 13,500 and the 71 was 12,500 and here I am in the middle asking double. It was cool though I could show people the diffrence between mine and theirs.

oh I also found out the mileage on the highway. its almost 21mpg

Re: Silver Dollar

I couldn't make it Saturday and was planning on going Sunday. Since it rained until early afternoon i ended up scratching the whole thing. Sorry to hear you didnt find a buyer yet. Anymore big shows coming to the area? I haven't been able to get to one all season.

I cant think of any, of the top of my head. sorry u missed it. its almost aways a good show. I thought it was a little light on the swap meet stuff. that seams to be a trend with swap meets anymore, I wonder why.

Re: Silver Dollar

Dont think I showed you guys this. while under the truck a few days ago changing the oil and filter, I was reminded of something that I forgot about, and dont think you all have seen. when I thought I was finished with the build, me and the wife and kids all slid up under the truck and signed it. on a patch that I left unpainted on the core support. kinda like writing your name in concrete.

Re: Silver Dollar

hey guys I'm gonna relist my truck on ebay in the next few days and was wondering if you all could help me?
Im doing a little market research. This will be the fourth time iv listed it. I think the first time was information overload and the last one won was short on info. I have to find a balance between the two. My question is: the main photo is the attention getting photo to make someone click and look at your auction. which one of these photos would most likely get you excited and make you want to view the auction. if you were in the market.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Re: Silver Dollar

I am into photography and I pay attention to a lot of the details in various photos, generally trying to get ideas about what makes a good picture, etc. All of your pictures are nice, I really lighting effects in #2 and I like the lines and details of #3. Problem is they are too "busy" for what you want. Of the remaining pictures, I'm going with 67cheby and my choice would be #6. Good Luck!

Re: Silver Dollar

1 or 6 Don't worry about having to relist. Just keep getting exposure and be patient. I built a 66 Cutlass convertible that was a really nice car. I was told over and over a plain Cutlass will never bring more than high teens buy guys in the know in the Oldsmobile world. It took 6 months but I did sell it to a guy in CA for 28,500.00 and that was at the first of 2010 when things where just as crappy as they are now. You only have one truck so you only need 1 buyer.

PS the A/C deal lost a lot of sales on mine. I have learned that lesson too.

Re: Silver Dollar

I would choose #6 as well. Try listing it in the Orange County, CA section of Craigslist. People are still spending out this way.

Re: Silver Dollar

I would have to agree. Iv always like the color and lighting in number 6. iv tried several times to reproduce that color in different locations and haven't been able to thus far. the paint makes this thing really change depending on the lighting conditions, as you can see in the photos. I was also wondering if you all thought it would be wise to have that picture photoshopped with a different back ground behind it. The idea of that first picture is to draw attention to your auction.

Thanks for your input guys it really is helpful

I wouldn't photoshop it any. People might think other things besides the background were photoshoped.
I think the stance/background etc... are good to go in #6. If I were looking for one, it'd grab my attention just fine. My .02.
