Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Effin awesome!!! You've gotta be on nerves-end being this close. Gold or no gold, it's going to be first-class and one of a kind. I can't wait until you get the truck back and start putting it all together. I'll be tuned in around the clock for updates.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
That is going to look great!! I like the way the grain looks on that and it is definitely different. Plus if I remember correctly even though it is one of the softer of the hardwoods it is much more resistant to denting and stuff than pine etc

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
if you treat it with bees wax it will age and gets a little darker over time (jellowish/goldsheen)
it will allso show the grain a bit better and gives the wood a bit of a shine , best is to do the treatment before installing the wood put it on thick and onl;y buff out the visible parts so the rest is weatherproof

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I just watched several Youtube videos about staining Tiger/Quilted maple, i think i will try some Antique Amber stain, it looks like that is the common guitar stain, i have several test panels to see what i think !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
waterbased stain gets deep intoo the wood usually comes in powderform to be mixed with water and aplied with a brush and a rag
http://www.kedadye.com/ you do need to have it dry thoroughly it gives the wood a realy deep grain like in the old days with candy apple paint it looks like its inches deep/thick

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
you know i have a wipple supercharger laying around that would fit on that manifold its one made for an LT1
the carb fits on the back of the supercharger only thing is that i don't have all the hoses with it and i think it misses the boost referencevalve not sure though and im not sure if the old style distributor will clear it

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Well i just got off the phone with Jeff from Bedwood and Parts, they are going to sponsor some bed strips , stain and clear for my bed, in return they want my truck at SEMA i wont be able to be inside (they only have a 10x10 booth) but i will get to show there and hopefully get ALOT of exposure for my truck and SLOSH TUBZ ! That is the good news....The Bad news is that this might end my plans for going to Dino's...i am really torn !
