Re: 68 S/C update.....

Wow, everytime I read a thread I'm amazed at the talent that you guys have. I read part of this thread sometime ago didn't finish it till now great job for just a "farm" truck. Btw the burb in the background of some of your pics looks really good. I for now (till I get back home) live vicariously thru the builds on these threads thanks

Yeah pretty cool, huh? The QTP's work really seal really well and were pretty easy to install.

, You probably wouldn't recognize the truck fro the time you first saw it. So much for my "90% solution"......

You should have called, but I know how hard it is to break away when you're on vacation. How's your truck coming?

**

On another note, I installed a set of GMC Pauls door seals. Very simple installation, about 20 mins. Now I'm waiting for them to break in so I don't have to slam the door to get it closed. The next thing will be a trip to a dyno tuner, hopefully within the next couple of weeks, .

I think you nailed it! Not to say that the truck looked bad in any of the pic's to me it has always looked cool, but it just keeps getting a little bit better everytime. Nice work

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Is the 90% thing out the window or is your definition of 90% slightly skewed........ just kidding looking great. I guess you never stop putting parts on these things it just gets bigger and bigger (my wife will love that).
