Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
This truck is nothing short of awesome. I have not seen it in person since the bed was put on but I may have to make a road trip.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Sorry Eric , I somehow missed your question . I plan on taking it out this coming weekend and see what she does . Exhaust is now done and the brakes are working like they should . Only thing left to do is get the front end aligned . Then it will be mainly working on the tune . Oh and A/C , but I'll just sweat it out till that gets done .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Been logging some miles on her and getting the tune worked out . Monday I went to put it on the lift for an oil change and was met with a no start condition . Something is shutting down the injector driver in the ECM . I'll get it worked out , just waiting on some days off to have the time to do so ! I'll keep y'all posted .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Well it appears it's actually the driver itself that failed in the ECM . Sent out for repair / replacement and they should receive it tomorrow .
Here's a few pics from the install of my 3pt seatbelts from Juliano's . The only mod I did was fab another mount for each retractor . The ones provided were bent at 90 degrees and if used it would wind up at a funky angle to the seat . This pic shows the difference . All attachment points are in the stock locations .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
I don't think these were available the first time I had checked out their website . But now they are ! Black/chrome GM buckles .
They are a tad bit slimmer than the stockers but I think they compliment the seat perfectly .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Thanks moggey , digging your build as well .
Thank you Keith . Those buckles were the deal maker as their belt setup is a lil pricey .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Loading her up tomorrow night for her trip to CTC . Haven't spent the time I'd like to on tuning the VE tables, ( lost about 2 weeks when the ECM took a nose dive ), but the fueling is much better and decent to cruise around . Just have to keep my foot out of it . We're gonna go enjoy being out with it then back to the shop for more work before Good Guys in March '15

The finish on this truck is AMAZING! All that hard work on the fit & finish definitely shows on camera! Hope you're enjoying yourself out there!
