let me know when your ready!

msgross · 02-21-2009, 11:56 PM

got something done today... not much but something...

made it to autozone and picked up a new fan clutch, and U-joints.

Also continued converting the column collar for the van tilt. THis "pot metal" is weird stuff... kinda mushy when you try to grind or cut it... I'll grind the epoxy down tomorrow and see how smooth it comes out...

msgross · 02-22-2009, 10:41 PM

well, didn't do much this weekend...

did work on the column conversion, sanded down the collar and hit it with some etching primer... can pot metal be powdercoated? or should I just paint this and the tube...

off to Florida for the week... more next week..maybe

msgross · 02-22-2009, 10:43 PM

just realized how bad those pics sucked... sorry

I think it could use a little skim coat (glaze?) and another sanding and be pretty clean...

So when are you gonna be driving this sucker?

did my wife put you up to that one?

need wiring $500
need brakes $250
exhaust $250
paintjob $2K?
weatherstrip $150 (ordered w/$200 of knick knacks)
more glass $100

all that on my $100/month allowance....that's 3 more years!

but seriously I plan to hang sheetmetal this summer and finish the mechanicals... and if I seel some items and paintjob has been promised with upcoming promotion (within a year?) then I could see this somewhat complete next summer...

sourkraut · 02-26-2009, 09:47 PM

wiring, $500. did you decide on what type of harness you are going to use? I am still waivering on which to use??

American Auto Wire just came out with a 69-72 updated kit. Totally compete with new fuses, ends, and everything you need...

$485 from our board vendor, I saw it on Ebay for $458... I guess there is some interference with a 67/68 E-brake cable so we'll see what happens with that...

http://musclerodzstore.com/index.asp...ROD&ProdID=689

I just dropped $340 at Truck shop for a lot of little "knick knack" crap that you need. Weatherstrip kit, column bearing, tilt levers, etc...

They were running 10% off until tonight but the shopping cart didn't deduct it, I have to call them Monday morning now... I better not lose $37...

I'm gonna start pulling items to get ready for blasting and powder. Do you have semi-gloss or satin?

msgross · 02-28-2009, 11:15 PM

If you want to run a factory harnass I have a couple of decent cab one's that you can have... It will help with the powdercoat fees!

sourkraut · 03-01-2009, 08:49 AM

ok, I am not sure what I will do yet for wiring? I think I have a little of both. the only problem is they are different brands, eastwood and columbia coatings. columbia is who I use now, theirs flows so much better when baked. here is their link, you can check out all of the colors and get what you like or let me know and I can order it. depending on what color and how many parts you have I might not have enough?

I know how you feel about spending the money! I have been spending alot to on odd ball stuff and it adds up to quick! motors, mounts, hardware and bump-stops etc..http://store.columbiacoatings.com/

MOTOR MOUNTS! not motors, mounts I think I am only going to run one motor in this truck!

msgross · 03-01-2009, 09:00 AM

buying MOTORS would get expensive.. very quickly!

Here's the list i'm thinking right now for powdercoating.

Pulleys (crank, water, power steering)
Brackets (alternator, power steering pump)
Fan 17" 5 blade
Booster bracket
Hood hinges springs
Hood latch
Air cleaner

I think i'll paint the rad support, inner fenders, seat frames, column, door panels all semi-gloss black or take them to the local guy with a bigger oven in the future.

sourkraut · 03-01-2009, 11:39 AM

ok, that will not be a problem. I just checked and 1/2lb is $6.99 and 1lb is $11.99. That is for columbia coatings satin black powder. I would get a 1lb that way you have enough I would hate to not have all of the same color. you will probably have left over but at that price I am always safe than sorry. if you do have extra I can always buy it from you and use it later. I am hoping to get mine into roller form today, so when ever would be ok since I would be able to make space and hang your parts. just let me know when your ready!

msgross · 03-01-2009, 03:32 PM

I saw 50-60% glass...is that it?

Just picked this up off Ebay.. NOS 67-68 grille molding, only one though $46...

ebay item 330309874100

sourkraut · 03-01-2009, 07:01 PM

yes, here is te page it says for chassis parts.http://store.columbiacoatings.com/cg...ategory%3DSCPW

I will check it out.

msgross · 03-01-2009, 08:39 PM

I'm gonna order 1 pound of the 50-60% black let me know if you need something before then and i'll add it in.

sourkraut · 03-01-2009, 08:52 PM

I don't think I should need anything. Thanks for the offer though. The only thing I will need is what size, length you need your bung to be. Also if the piece you will be getting needs a certain diameter or we can open it to what we need.

msgross · 03-01-2009, 10:55 PM

I'll try getting an aluminum bung from the tank maker first. He was suppose to add it when built so maybe he'll just toss it into an envelope for me. I'll order the powder tomorrow, have you ever tried the "high temp" powder for exhaust manifolds?

sourkraut · 03-02-2009, 07:13 AM

no, I have not might be worth a shot? that would be nice of that guy to send you, especially if was supposed to have come with the tank.

msgross · 03-11-2009, 07:52 PM

Got some new parts in yesterday.. Truck Shop in CA was running a 10% special and if you spend $250 you get free shipping... Guess I got a little happy clicking on their catalog. This is MOST of the little crap needed to finish the truck up. I really only needed the door weatherstripping (which came free with my latest project truck!)...

glimmertwin01 · 03-25-2009, 09:10 AM

hey Mike hows the project coming?? mine is finally going OK... it is officially becoming a 68 due to the vin.... but retains the small back window....1967 chevrolet K20 "the beast"

yours inspired me to get goin... ..nice build i searched for this thread hoping to see new pics...so..PICS PICS PICS!!!!

msgross · 03-25-2009, 02:44 PM

I've been working on the 69 flip truck in my signature.. It goes to it's new owner saturday and i'll be back on track with the 68.. I got cash now $$$, well on saturday I will.. I'll send pics of that!

msgross · 03-29-2009, 08:05 PM

if anyone is still watching this build I SWEAR I'LL GET BACK TO IT!!!!

just flipped a truck ($$$) and I have a cold garage in the winter...

Chevyman63 · 03-29-2009, 09:03 PM
