I have some tube laying around the shop so I figured I would save a 175 bones.....
i think we need some Vette updates too while you are at it

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:15 PM

I have plenty, just don't a MOD zap'n me for posting non-truck pics !!

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:17 PM

that won't happen....will it?

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:20 PM

Let's try:
-
-
-
Moved to the interior for more scrape'n and clean'm....
-
-

-
Couple shots thru the heater opening...
-

-

-
After pulling the carpet, I found the dimmer switch and pedal....Cool, never knew that about the vettes.
-

-

-
Next it was time to remove the column mounts and the pedal assembly...
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:21 PM

I'm back with a few more pics....A few days ago...I pulled the rear wheels off to tighten the rear body mounts, and finally hook up the rear spring...
-

-

-
Hmm....mabey the raised letter looks better on the outside
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:23 PM

-

-
Once on bench...I disassembled it for clean up and rebuild...The bracing will all be blasted and painted, while the three pedal arms will be powder-coated black...
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:24 PM

I found the clutch pedal pin slightly worn...so before coating, I cut it loose and welded a new one in...
-
-

-

-
-
Yesterday, I pushed her outside in the nice California weather we are having right now....to do a final wire-wheel cleaning of the inside, before some paint and the DynaMat goes in...
-

-

-
Here I'm using my old "I don't care if it burns out" wire wheel drill...
-

-

-
That's it for now.....Monday or Tuesday should be starting the DynaMat....

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:51 PM

The chassis shots, fab on the fuel system and exhaust are really cool.

Thanks bro !!

Well they finally started building the fire-wall in my shop...so everything has been moved over to make room for the contractors:
-
-
You can faintly see the snapped lines on the floor:
-

-
Here is the ridiculously overkill tube steel for the curtain door opening...the "architect" (sp) insisted on this:
-

-

-
Starting the studs...Hey theres my truck !!!
-

-

-
As you can see, I had to make tons of room for these guys, so I lifted my truck up and covered and parked the Vette under it.
-
-
The way I look at it...in the event of an earthquake...Do I want the truck to fall on the Vette, or the Vette falling on the truck ???

My buddy said "truck falls on vette, truck breaks vette, vette engine goes in truck !!"

redsean · 02-07-2009, 04:52 PM

joe231 · 02-14-2009, 11:31 AM

nice burb!!
wall is looking good too, they about done with it?

**ChiefRocka** · 02-14-2009, 02:16 PM

Yeap....everything you do need an inspection:

The metal studs go up...."Call the inspector!"

The sheetrock goes up on one side, then insulation....."Call the inspector!"

The sheetrock goes up on other side....Inspector says..."Go back and add more screws 12" or less apart in middle..and 7" or less along seems"

Special Fire chaulking, double rock in certain places...What a pain in the ARSE !!!!

Almost done...then the electricians come in and rewire everything back again. Finally, I'll get my 220 and all my 110's back !!

protrash64 · 02-14-2009, 11:15 PM

Coulda made a cool headliner with some of that extra insulation.....hopefully you grabbed a batt
