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

Hey Mike, thought I'd chime in on your mounting prob. you could put washers under each corner and use rivets. the washers would also keep the back from touching. might help dissipate heat.

scratch that, I just looked at the pic again. that won't work. I thought the holes in the panel matched the parts.

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

Hey Mike how do you get the visor rods out of the visor? Does it ruin the original visor? I know this is probably a ridiculous question but I do not have any visors yet and this would help me decide on which ones to get as it is much easier to find ones with nice visors themselves and crappy rods (which I could paint like you did if it doesn't ruin the visor). Thanks! Blue is looking better every day

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

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

Lots of misc progress this weekend ! Headlight relays all in place, CPP brake booster/master cylinder mocked up . Added a trailer wiring plug to disconnect my rear taillights/fuelpump/fuel sending wires to make it a little easier if the cab needs to come off, did the same with a different plug for the front clip....trying to think ahead !

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

a few more, worked on routing my Painless wiring...cant wait to get it all wrapped in the new Classic Braid ! Started installing the Aluminum washer for my control arms from Michigan Metal Works it adds a nice little touch ! Also bought some epoxy and modified the lever that Painless recommends to use with their system so it would bolt to my colum

Nice progress! Are you going to scuff the booster/master to match the other brushed finished (satin) items?

I think combine this with your other 'detail' color, the metallic grey. Nice piece- is it the integral prop valve version?
