Got a big box of vinyl yesterday. Heres what I'm thinkin pic2 + pic 3 = sweetness! (#3 stolen from stllookn)

**Tom Vogel** · 10-23-2010, 10:34 AM

You and I think alike. Jimmy looks awesome!

**SOON2BLAZE** · 10-23-2010, 11:50 AM

Thanks Tom, wish I had your motor! This project is now my DD again. My guess is 10-14 mph

Looking at a FAST self learning tbi kit for right after the new year. Just did the parking brake mod, replaced the defrost ducts and dug out the courtesy light harness I have. Using it daily has kinda built a fire under me to get some of the little things done. Next: clean and paint to buddy bucket storage box and frame before the seats get back, then get floorboards and rockers replaced.

VA72C10 · 10-23-2010, 02:21 PM

no, it was a local guy. He did a great job, they are very comfy!

67chevy1series · 12-21-2010, 02:28 PM

so this is going to be a 67 ''staswb'' cst truck that means shorter tha a short wheel base truck other wis known as a half cab blazer

**SOON2BLAZE** · 12-21-2010, 03:38 PM

yes it's a blazer half cab. Not sure what a swb wheel base is but a blazer is 104". With the 454 and the 4 speed it's like a go cart!

67chevy1series · 12-21-2010, 03:57 PM

that is a good one you should get a p10 frame to make it shorter

Heavy Evy · 12-22-2010, 12:28 AM

The seat cover company is local too and they do great work. Is the guy fair in his prices and work? I need a seat or 2 done and have been looking around.

**67cheby** · 12-22-2010, 01:53 PM

those seats look KILLER

The work he did was great. But.. he quoted me 5-6 days and took 37. I was driving around like Ted Bundys VW with only a drivers seat. Then he tried jacking the price. Luck for me I am used to telling people NO everyday.

Thanks 67 cheby, your builds looking good too.

**67cheby** · 12-22-2010, 03:05 PM

i have my buddy buckets in the upholstery shop now, i stripped the frames powercoated them, got new foam, just waiting on him to get mine stiched up , cant wait till they look like yours

**SOON2BLAZE** · 12-22-2010, 04:19 PM

Finally an update. Wife gave me the green light to buy the EZ EFI for my
40th bday. So took my time and did the install over the weekend. Well ya dont wanna just put it on without some other goodies, and we all know how things snowball. So I put a Performer intake on it and a MSD E curve dizzy. Then I didn't want the throttle body or fuel rails to heat sink so I figured some thermal line covers, 1 inch carb spacer and a heat shield would help. Overkill? yes, but after the vapor lock episodes from last summer I am opposed to being stranded in the desert when it's 114 outside

Ran the lines on the outside of the frame to keep them away from the exhaust heat and had to fab up a external fuel pump mount and stone shield. The directions said 3-4 hours for install, ya right. Fires up and idles smooth

So easy a caveman could do it. Put the first tank of gas in in yesterday, sinces this is my DD we'll see how it does an the mpg. Next, a new radiator and hopefully a new brake master/booster set up so I can get the firewall painted.

**67cheby** · 03-09-2011, 01:34 PM

SWEET...keep us posted

Heavy Evy · 03-09-2011, 05:37 PM
