It was -3*F this morning when I went out to start my truck. It wasn't real happy but it started. Maybe I may start to plug it in if it's going to be like this.

Right now a pot of boiling water wont even make it to the ground, it totally ice crystal vaporizes before it can fall that far. That is tossed, not poured mind you....
Friends made a video of it and put on their FB... funny stuff (kinda)

That's without wind chill. I bet it's -20 with it since winds are a constant 15-20mph gusts. Besides, with all the hot air up there coming from you Canadians, it probably warms up real fast!

it's all good....we all fly the chevy flag......lol

Well i have had a great run and making progress on everything ....including some new shelves in the shop.....

Pro street
Finished the rough in for the bumper ...dealing with a few issues making some air bag adjustments and trying to figure out where to mount all of the air ride stuff...I am really running out of space on that thing...Took the last measurements to drop the front fenders.....jury is still out on inner fenders so far


65 SBBW
Well dropped the stainless tank....drilled the hole for the fuel line to run and worked on the fuel pump brackets. Been polishing all of the bits and pieces because they are badly oxidized and that is really eating up some time....Dug the cab out and ordered all the pieces for the floor and new rockers..Dug out the new door I have and am considering ordering a new door for the other side. Still lost for color for that truck...groan...I haven't been inspired by anything i have seen so far.....

47 Big window
Worked on the stainless tank and brackets to hold up the tank...tried to figure out where to put the fuel fittings and sending unit placement.....and how much more bracing to put in the box of the floor.Think we figured out where to mount the pump and run the fuel lines...Big issue with where to put the exhaust, there is even less room under that thing then my pro street truck. Big push on this truck trying to get all the fab work done so we can head to the paint phase.

66 long box
Found the keys and put a battery on the charger....made a small list of parts to pick up. Will have it running and moving soon....thinking about painting it and maybe some new wheels for it .

Firetruck
Well we got it to run but now come the brakes....there aren't any. Bad news because it's infront of the 66 long box and i can't do much on the 66 till we figure out how to move the fire truck. We tried to tow it with 2 4x4's before and not so much the thing is really heavy and we had to grab my buddies gravel truck to move it last time.

58 SBBW
Drove past in the driveway and cringes as it sits out in the rain....

69 Z/28...
Been searching and searching for a screaming deal on a Hedits front clip and a TKO 500 or 600...kit to drop in behind the 302 being built as we speak. It's not a for sure but i think i want to run a 69 302 with aluminum heads and a original intake thats powder coated. Then i want that dropped into a updated clip with a rack and tubular a arms and drop spindels backed up with TKO 5 speed.Leave the outside original with the cowl hood and ralley wheels on it....but so far no clip and TKO for cheap.

It snowed for a few days and we ended up wih about 16" of snow then it warmed up and has been raining for a week.Being outside or trying to do anything outside is not good.

LMAO! Orange, on what? My face from laughter. Yep! On a truck, he** no! Just the orange I put on it this past summer. Hopefully it'll be orange by spring. After driving my ford on these brine covered **** azz roads, I might have second thoughts of driving the Longhorn in this crap now. My poor ford looks mighty nasty due to this crap. Have big plans for this hing this weekend?

Thanks man......I hope to make some more progress soon...I decided to put a tailgate on it and change a few things back there as well ....I can't wait to get this thing together...

[wutnxt]

My Idea>> post pics of that 69Z28

I have had that 69 Z/28 for years....it's all tore down and getting ready for paint....I have taken the 302 and am rebuilding it from top to bottom and matched up some aluminum heads and bought some trinkets and beads for it so to speak. But now i am thinking about swapping in a clip with power rack and pinion ,running a tremec 5 speed and twin turbo's . Kind of a cross between protouring and a newer version of a z/28.Yet keeping all of the original pieces incase i want to put it back the way it was. In other words i have inner conflict with messing with the car i have had for over 20 years....lol

[allaboutchevelles]

I hear ya, That car is highly collectable being a Z28 and if you got the matching numbers 302 with it also!! I mean you cant even hardly find a 302 if your looking to buy one unless you have a whole bunch of $$$$$$. Great car and would love to see some pics when you get time. My 69 chevelle is being neglected right now waiting to get my truck done. I bought a 69 dated 396 big block for it. Needs rebuilding though. The car is a malibu but it was my first car I got when I was 15, so I have had it for going on 20 years now also. Im trying to decide if I want to clone it into a SS or not. I already got the bucket seats and horseshoe shifter and console. New SS hood and SS wheels. I bought a new tilt sterring column and 3 spoke weel also. Wow I guess I need to get back on that thing ASAP.

I was thinking of a funky mid to dark green and white pearl combo.....for the prostreet.Teal or seafoam and white for the 66 SBBW...Right now the 69 camaro is hugger orange but the factory color is green. So really nothing is decided right now...all up in the air

[57truckguy]
