Hope that helps!!

I guess I best come git my shoes, bin meanin to call ya but obviously haven't...

shrunken66stroker · 05-16-2011, 12:01 AM

I need some specs on those headers if you don't mind. They look like they fit great. Who makes them?

Slammed66 · 05-18-2011, 12:05 AM

The headers are low buck stainless peices from DNA motoring on ebay.

they fit, well ok, the passanger side required trimming a bit of the flange off the inpection cover area of the trans, and the drivers side has one tube that is too close to the control arm shaft, but I can massage it to work, but for the price the headers are well built and id buy em again, oh ya they are for a 99-02 F body camaro/ firebird.. cant wait to get home and work on this thing......

and yes Tony, lets get them shoes on your orange buggy, its gonna be one KILLER truck!!!!

PHAT TONY · 05-18-2011, 12:50 AM

Gimme a ringa-ding-ding-ding-dong when you're back from work.

Slammed66 · 06-07-2011, 02:37 AM

well folks, im headed back to work, with almost no progress, all I managed to do were draw up some upper bag mounts and have them lasered out. I feel bad, maybe ill go out and tack em up before I leave , then ill feel like I accomplished SOMETHING..

why the lack of progress ?? well you see Mr Phat Tony is a bad bad man.
Thanks to him , he just had to give me a killer deal on another truck.....

here she is, the plans are to get wheels that match, a proper stance ie LOW.

scuff and shoot in red satin , and beat on it till the 64 is done, then it can become a nice lil hot rod too!!!

witha big aarse cam, high stall , and what feels like 4:11's with a posi, this thing Looooooooooooooooves burnouts, and blowing the doors off ricers.....

Thanks again tony, your the man!!!

Slammed66 · 06-27-2011, 12:11 PM

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just a small one.. hang on for more this week, im back on it..

Bag mounts!!!!

Slammed66 · 08-02-2011, 03:11 PM

Back from holidays.

brought half of a set of wheels home,.......ordered through coys, waited months, sent to shipping outlet 5 hrs from home only to pick up TWO wheels...................

blood pressure rising. they claim they are sending the fronts today.

claims they " might be 18x9s " instead of the 8's I ordered.

Oh well rant over for now, lets hope I cant get this thing rollin soon..

any way heres the rear 20x10!!!

chad64chevy · 08-02-2011, 05:52 PM

nice progress! nice rims too, what size tire are you going with for the rear??

coulter · 08-03-2011, 07:47 AM

keep it coming man!!!!! turning out badass

SBTork · 08-03-2011, 06:53 PM

cool project, I also like the new beater. Nice little truck aswell

creep · 08-03-2011, 07:45 PM

I don't think I'll be looking at Coys when I start looking for wheels. What a headache!

Slammed66 · 08-15-2011, 10:50 AM

Brought some parts to work with me, sand blasted and painted the spindles and backing plates.

and the calipers got smoothed out and painted!

I know ill wanna upgrade to some bigger cooler stuff later but for now I needed to clean up what I had.

Oh yea got the beater sittin a lil better, rebuilt the rear brakes . and recently picked up a rebuilt disc brake front end with drop spindles.
( thanks scott @ Scotts Super Trucks) for a killer price. thatll be goin in soon.

Two more nights of work , then some 16 hours of driving, first back home then down to spokane for the goodguys show!!! cant wait !!!
