thanks coulter, I've been really thinking of doing what I can to hear the motor run my the end of the month! all the odds and ends are kick my butt, back and forth to the parts store, etc. but i'm getting it narrowed down to just a few things

chad64chevy · 10-13-2013, 07:52 PM

well here is the motor as of today I made a bracket for the trans dipstick copied the same teardrop shape, but I had to paint it first will take a pic of it next weekend!! got the radiator mounted, rad. hoses on ( had to notch frame for the bottom hose), got the shotgun intake on, painted the butterflies to match motor!! then I just sat in the chair and stared at the motor, my dad asked what I was doing? I told him day dreaming, lol!!!

i'm hoping next weekend I can get my braided hydro boost hoses on, spark plugs and wires on, fuel pump on, coil on ( been thinking of putting it in the cab) run the wires thru the firewall to not have so much stuff on the firewall! got to install my kickdown cable and gas pedal cable, I still got to see if I can have my trans dipstick where I want it and still have the heater box mounted! they sent me the wrong oil dipstick it wont go in the block, hole in the block is a lil smaller then the shaft, but anyways we will see what happens, I still got to go to clems party

Ta2Don · 10-13-2013, 09:06 PM

Motor Looks Sweet!!! Color Combo and Accessories are

Lookin' forward to Clem's also... See ya there...

Hat's off to you Chad! I know you have a lot of obstacles to overcome just to get time to work on it. Family, work, money and having to travel just to work on it. You are doing a FANTASTIC job! Your efforts are well worth it, you are turning out one BAD ride keep on it you'll get there.

thanks don, I had a lot of fun at clem's it was the second time I've gone but the first time my wife and daughter went, they all had fun! I just wish I would've been able to show up a lil sooner then I did! I would've liked to see the black coupe an the goat but they were gone when I got there!

next get together we will have to have are trucks there, I will do what I can, but since I almost have the motor done, I just look at it and get motivated to do something, lol

chad64chevy · 10-21-2013, 07:54 PM

this is the bracket I bent up to mount the trans dipstick off the firewall enough to fill it and be able to use it to! I also had to grind the oil dipstick down a lil to fit, got it installed too! also got my fuel pump installed! I did a lil work on the truck sunday I started to strip my driver door down then stopped when I found a lot of bondo! So I stopped and I think i'm going to look for another driver door, its going to be to much work to try and fix, I forgot to take a pic of the door and the oil dipstick installed!

thanks! the wife said I needed to clean out the storage and start putting all my parts on the truck, lil by lil i'm cleaning out the storage, lol!!

Modges'66 · 10-21-2013, 08:55 PM

Dude!
The motor is lookin sweet!
I'm sure that you can hardly wait to hear it purrrrrr!
I know how anxious that I am to hear mine fire-up, and it makes me crazy with anticipation!...So I feel your pain!
It is really hard to stay focused on other items with a fresh motor staring you in the face!!!...Also why I stored mine in a separate area, because I was gettin side-tracked when doing bodywork
Keep on it!

Jeff La · 10-21-2013, 10:56 PM

lotta motor in that little hole LOL ......Looks great

don I got some of the forgotten pics, didn't have any help to lift up the hood, so not pics of the dipsticks and other things!!

chad64chevy · 10-27-2013, 07:45 PM

ok, here are my doors! the passenger door can be fixed pretty easy I think compared to the drivers door! lower patch and a lil hammer and dolly work to the passenger side, the driver side will take a whole skin ( got one from a forum member awhile back) nobby I think was the member! i'm starting to think everyone in the 80's bondo everything, lol!! anyways heres the doors and a pic of the patch to fix the passenger side!

first set of pics are the driver side door

chad64chevy · 10-27-2013, 07:49 PM

passenger side pics! last two pics are the hammer and dolly work i'll have to do, not much but need some attention

Ta2Don · 10-27-2013, 09:13 PM

My Driver's Door has similar damage at the top just under the mirror mount…

Bomp · 10-28-2013, 12:25 AM

With your Skillz whats a couple of measly dented up doors?
Let the gentle massaging metal mayhem begin.

flips72 · 10-31-2013, 06:18 AM

I totally agree with bomp ..no problem. engine looks awesome, glad to see your getting some wrench time in. cant wait for more.

TJ's Chevy · 10-31-2013, 10:37 AM

For starters....that V8 rocks!!!! 2. Everybody that sees that truck is gonna say "WOW, That is one rare grill for a 64, I've never sen that before!" HAHAHA!!

Grill looks sweet by the way! Watching your build! Great progress and work bud!

thanks T.J., the 'WOW' factor on the motor was what I was going for! I seen a couple people doing the c50/60 grille, but I still have my aluminum grille that don't have any dents too! so that leaves me three options for the grille, kind of like what ever mood I'm in!!

flips72 · 11-03-2013, 09:15 PM

yeah, sorry about not being around much, computers been down, your truck is looking great, cant wait to see it finished.

Alan's Classic · 11-03-2013, 09:40 PM

Very nice progress!! Those are CPP motor perches right?
