hey cheby, i read early on in the build that you raised your bed floor, now since the dropmember did you raise it again??
kev

[67cheby]

i didnt .... i am going to just have to cover the notch with something, i would have had to do it anyway to cover the fuel cell , air ride and give clearance to the tires........ This is a prime example of you need to know what you are doing on a build and not change your mind !!! if that is possible....obviously its not for me !! lol

hate to let you down Mac72..... its just shiny TIN !!! little eye bling , building it to sell .... you know CHROME WONT GET YOU HOME, but it will sure look good on a bright yellow buggy

[67cheby]

[VA72C10]

[es67chevy]

Tryin to catch up with me...... Looks good!

[GVizzle]

Finally...........I was gettin worried!!!!

[67cheby]

ouch ... trying to finish my dune buggie project to make money for the truck and i got kind of burnt out trying to figure out what to do on the front inner fenders!!!

[lowdownstar]

It's hard to stay on track when you've taken a truck as far as you have! I think your doing a great job and the bed looks killer. for me i am waitting for Nathan to come up with something really cool for inner fenders, then buy a set. lol I can't do what you guys are doing! good luck with the buggie i hope you able to make the cash.


Ray

[67cheby]

thanks , me too, if you start trying to build your own inner fenders you will pull your hair out !!! maybe im just making mine to complicated

[67cheby]

Brown Santa brought my March mid mount sepentine sytem powder coated black, couple shots of my 67 breather on , couple shots of my inner fenders and a shot of the new inner fender roll im going to try to weld on ??

[SATownChevy]

its coming along. cant wait to get mine looking like that.

[es67chevy]

Awesome!! I love it when UPS shows up.

[colin_havens]

Hows the buld coming along Mike? I finally got my powersteering issues fixed this past weekend, and yes, with the factory bracket. Let me just say I dont EVER want to have to pull the rack or power steering lines and pump out to swap them out ever again. When you do hook yours up, tighten all the fittings before you bolt the pump back up to the block. Thats the only way I got mine completely on, and leak free.

[67cheby]

i took a slight detour and bought a little dune buggie to fix up and sell to make money for the truck , however to solve my power steering issues i spent a lot of cash , i bought a march mid mount sepentine system( powder coated black) that lifts my powersteering pump up away from the rack ,and moves my alt to pass side on top and mounts the sanden ac compressor below it , i havent put it on yet so i sure hope it fixes my problem, any pics of yours together ??

[colin_havens]

I didnt take any pics of the power steering lines once I had it back together. Its so tight in there you really cant tell how they are run anyway. My wife only took a few shots of the truck this weekend at a local show I went to, I should have grabbed the camera from her and taken some of my own. I dont want to whore up your thread, but i will post just a couple. Hope to take some better pics this weekend. Mines the blue and silver 67. I need to do a build thread just to show it off, just havent sat down and done it.

[67cheby]

WOW, well set down and do it we want to see more of it !!

[my67chevytruck]

nice progress, keep at it.

[JRBECK64]

67cheby,
I have to tell you that its taken a while to go through your build but I am completely impressed with all the Fabrication, Engineering and Thought that has gone into this truck. It puts mine into perspective when all we did to ours is weld in new Rockers and Cab Corners and Marker lites in the bed. So do you see the End in sight any time soon?
