So, if I am understanding correctly...Your wife is saying that you are not prejudice because you spanked another Chevy, Dodge, Ford, and an Import?
Nice concept, I like!!!

[chad64chevy]

truck sounds awesome! looks like you treed them all too, now that is really awesome!!

[SCOTI]

Ok.... I dug back through because I couldn't remember the specifics.
What are the specs on the motor/drivetrain?

[SCOTI]

Nice combo!
I never realized this was a go-fast ride.

[flips72]

thanks scoti, i have always been a hot rodder at heart, i might be going to tame it down some this winter and go ls fuel injected with ac. i have a rough 66 bbw thats itching for the go fast goodies and i can lighten it up alot, where i dont want to mess with the red truck to much, but its going to be hard to support two projects at once and then the wife is wanting a first gen camaro to top it all off.

[Modges'66]

Flip, in my opinion, you should build the 1st gen Camaro for your wife first, if you want to go fast for cheap anyway!
On a side note, about a month or so ago, I rode in a friends '68 Camaro for the first time...A full tube frame, aluminum interior, Willwood brakes, four-link 9 inch, top notch, all-steel car...with a ZZ502 crate-motor that is basically stock except for cam, intake & dominator carb.
the motor dyno'd at 576 h.p. and runs low 10's in the quarter...I know, hard to believe.
Now I am not a drag racer, Have done it in a few cars that I have owned (LS-6 Chevelle, Buick Grand National and assorted Corvettes) But they were childs-play compared to this.... Nor am I up to speed with all of the electronic gadgetry, i.e trans-brake, rev-limiter b.s, electronic nitrous controls, etc, but I can truly tell you that ...Never, NEVER, have I experienced something so brutal as a launch in that car!
HOLY-F! we did it several times on a country road, and I could sense the tire spin and smell the rubber from the 19.50 x 32 M&H Racemasters way past 100 m.p.h.
Now I am not sayin that you need to make your wife's camaro that fast, but with some of your go-fast parts, it could be real healthy, and you could go LS with the new racer truck!
What are you thinkin about now? LOL!

[Dubnova]

Flip, Would you mind telling me what color RED you used on your truck? Your build thread is really nice and like what you did with your truck and the stance. Nothing like a red truck with shiny wheels and dang hotrod motor! Something tells me you smile every time you hit the key.

the color is victory red, and thanks for the kind words, i think the smile comes when i hit the nitrous button more than either other time.

[flips72]

just a quick peek at what followed me home today, another 65 bbw, thinking about building it for the wife, I will start a build thread shortly I hope, trying to build another shop for parking so I can get back in mine to work.

[flips72]

couple more

[Bomp]

Congrats on the new truck, looks pretty clean.
A new shop for parking............ that right there is something I could use.Glad Im not the only one having things follow me home.

Will be keepin a look out for the new build thread.

[chad64chevy]

now I know where all the bbw short fleetsides are going! going good

[likaroc13]

Congrats on the new truck! It looks pretty darn solid, & I'm looking forward to the build. Are you surprising the wife, or does she know what the new project is for?

[Modges'66]

Flip,
I cannot believe how nice that truck is!
Looks like it has more dust on it than anything else!
How the heck did you come across it?
What is the story on the other? Did you get both?
I thought that you were gonna do a muscle car for your wife!
You are killin' me right now. I wish that I had done the BBW conversion on mine!

[Dubnova]

Bump! For more of flips coolness.

the truck is extremely solid and came with a ton of parts, all new in the packs gm nos side moulding, one of the nicest aluminum grills I have ever seen before, 2 tailgates one original another new in the box, even a brand new in the box sliding rear glass which I will never use but was still kinda neat, gm nos rubber for the cab, 3 sets of custom cab sail panels, its already 5 lug power disc brakes, power steering and the list goes on, should be a fairly quick build I hope. as far as were I found it one of my buddies at church told me his brother had one he was thinking of selling and the rest is history. the truck behind it is a 66 bbw I was going to lighten up as much as possible and see if I could get it in the low 6 second range (1/8 mile). the wife decided it would be pretty to cool to have his and hers 65 trucks and I was happy happy happyyour truck is awesome with the small window I think, I wouldn't change a thing if I were you.

Thanks so much. I'll try to update about dad when I get back to my home computer. Glad to hear about the new shop, & the his/hers truck plan is just too cool. Sounds like you definitely found a great truck to work with as well.

[Alan's Classic]

Man that's a cool builder. The wife should be pleased with it.

Good luck with the garage build with this nasty weather.

[Dubnova]

Yeah good luck with the garage. Better keep that boat inside it's almost time to drag em out and hook em up. You East Tenn boys should be float n fly's about now anyways.
