Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Sorry about the pics....i have been doing little stuff that doesnt merit pics !! but here are a few, I had the front wheels and steering wheel re polished and i put two coats of Wizard Seal on them yesterday to help them stay looking good ! I took off the control arms and boxed them up to ship out ! Tried to finish putting on the March mid-mount serpentine system (one little ac rear brace bracket i cant figure out) Worked on bending some trans lines....wasted 2 lines...LOL

Truck looks awesome! That bracket attaches to the top of the altenator where your turn buckle is attached in the picture.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

I like the accessories sitting low like that- makes the engine pop! Looks like that piece connects from the head to the rear of the compressor, with the curved portion following the body? Good luck!
