I am just going to leave the fenders... for me the pain in the a$$ that it would be to do it just isnt worth it. And Thanks! I am working hard to be able to drive her this year yet!

Been a while since I saw your progress. Lookin' good. That color really pops! Hope you are on the road soon. BTW, hows the thumb?

[longbed67]

The wrist and thumb are still a little sore but I am able to work on things, I still only have 45% of my wrist and grip strength that I did before. Thanks for asking!

In bottom two posts it is, the bump-stops are touching the axle.

Well all my audio is finally in! Went with the Retrosound RC9000C, and Boston acoustics GTA704 Class A amp, Polk Audio Dxi690 6x9 speakers, and Streetwires Zero Noise interference RCA cable and 14ga streetwire speaker wire (All oxygen free copper wire setup). Should pump out some great quality sound!
The speakers will look great in the corner brackets that BigBlock73 makes on here! I was very pleased with the quality and fitment of them!

LOL That's a little low for me! Even with drag blocks that makes me nervous! Although it looks pretty cool when you use different types of metal and throw different color sparks!

Thanks! But thats ok the only time it will ever be low enough to hit them is at a show.

I am going to build some bumpstops and weld them in so that I dont knock my fenders out of alignment.

Adam, what wheels and tires are you running? They look like later model steelies, I would have thought they would have tucked right in there.

[longbed67]

The fronts wheels are off of a 71 C10 I also switched to McGaughy drop spindles and a front wheel disc for a 71-72 which push the wheels out a little. The tires are a 225/75R15 which are what the original owner put on the '67 wheels 6 months before I bought it

Thanks! Trying to make a wheel choice, since the ones I have lack enough backspacing.

Well, here is what I have to show for sat. afternoon and sun afternoon. I finished installing the entire vintage air system, except for a few wires which will be dealt with next weekend when my buddy Josh comes to wire the entire truck. And I got the front wheel tubs stripped and repainted. I was going to paint them to match the exterior paint but I actually think for now I like the black better, tones the engine bay down a little. I can always paint a set of slosh tubz to match the exterior when I have a little more cash down the road.
I also got the front shocks installed, I just need to find my glove box door latch now so I dont have to hold it up.

[longbed67]

Josh just sent me these photos!!!! I cant wait to see it in the truck!

[NewType72]

Killer gauge cluster and yes all that gourgeous blue next to that sweet motor would make accidents of passerby's falling into your engine bay at shows when staring too long

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

Lookin good Adam ! I think the black adds a nice contrast, and really makes the motor stand out !
