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

Down to the deadline almost, I know you can do it, AS Adam Sandler would say " You can do it! all night long!!" And I mean work on the truck to get her finished. Have some red bulls, grow some wings and sprinkle some pixie dust on her, she will be done and you will be amazed. The shock of her being done won't hit you until a week after Sema I bet. Cause you are in a whirlwind right now and you better enjoy every minute of it my good sir cause you deserve all of it.

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

if you can take some days off from work early to get ahead a little , when you try to do it all at the end you prolly burn out and whont enjoy the sema show
besides you stand a big change you get stuck because parts are missing
do it now and you can rest a few days before going to sema knowing the truck is done and tested and when you mis stuff you still have some time to order the part

cool! One big step closer.... you're too early on starting it up...on the tv shows they wait to try to start it until 5 min before the reveal

Guessing the fuel leak is taken care of?

I would offer to come and help, but by the time I got there you would be on your way to Vegas!!!

Slow and steady, do a list and start at the hardest one, get that one done and all it does it get easier from there on in..

Good luck

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

-Make carpet hmmm that might take one day
-install side glass 4 hours my guess
-install seat 1 hour
-install guage panel, dashpad 1 hour
-kick panels 15 minutes
-install hood can take 4 hours if it doesnt fit right
-bumpers should take less than 2 hours
-bedwood bout 4 hours depending if you have to drill holes and stuff
-gas cap filler 2 hours depending on if ou need to build it from scratch or just mount it
-brake lines and i am waiting on one brake line that wont be here until tuesday mount everything sofar and the last on on thuesday
the notch cover is in the paint shop whell you mounted it once so it shouldnt take long

at least the list is small enough to post it on here , wat you put on here should be 4 workdays or so on youre own , the end is in sight
