I can't decide if I should run them outside the frame or not, but I'm gonna run em out in front of the rear wheels (But still be hidden)

Yeah, for real & they could give a lifetime supply for payment

Now if I could just get free tires... Hmms

Spray-Bomb · 04-18-2007, 10:54 PM

Got some more done today

Got the upper rad hose on (still working on the lower)
And started on my electric fans

There will be two (and this one is just mocked up)

I forgot to measure, but do you think my fans are: too close, not close enough, or just fine ?

Spray-Bomb · 04-18-2007, 10:56 PM

I also got my cowl grills in

And the motor for the bead-blaster came in... Woo Hoo

Do you have full length headers? My glasspacks run straight back... on either side of the Trans. Also you have to think about how low you're gonna go? my buddy had a '72 blazer that was slammed to the ground and had the chrome '67 corvette pipes along the cab back to the wheels.

You should just run straight back until you get under the bed then turn 'em out toward the wheels. I don't know?... it's your call!

Spray-Bomb · 04-19-2007, 10:10 AM

If I do run them outside the frame, I'll cut a hole in the frame & put a piece of 1/4" pipe / box the inside (for the pipe to run through)

But I think I'm not gonnna run em outside, because of the extra work (I wanna get my truck finished)

Wreckless_71 · 04-21-2007, 09:19 PM

Progress?

Spray-Bomb · 04-21-2007, 10:01 PM

Whats the meaning of that word ?

Spray-Bomb · 05-11-2007, 02:53 PM

Well I have decided to run a "normal" fan for a while, just to get my truck on the road

I went to a show with Tav the other night & just really wished I had my truck

I am getting really close, so I'm trying not to do anything I don't have to
Plus it'll give me little weekend projects to do

I have to finish my X-member install, hook up the drive shaft (and maybe have it cut down), do my exhaust, tweak my throttle peddle, put a new water pump on, & prolly some other things I'm not thinking of

Hope to finish soon

Spray-Bomb · 05-17-2007, 10:48 AM

Well I'm get'n close to be'n finished (is there such a thing

)

I changed out the leaky water pump & put on a "normal" fan

Mocked up my exhaust, so I could hear it (It sounds awesome

)

But now the bad news
I was putting on my "new" rear yoke (that part went fine), but when I went to hook up the drive shaft I was tightening it up & one of the bolts snapped off in the yoke

On with the pics

Old pump

New pump

My fan is huge (keeps the engine at 150, with no shroud)

Spray-Bomb · 05-17-2007, 10:50 AM

Painted a door panel

Don't remember showing a pic of my wheels (This one is the worst, cuz PO's cat like to pee in it)

Old exhaust (my new exhaust will do the same, but be hidden)

Couple of random pics

Don't think I ever showed a pic of the tool tray I built

**Yukon Jack** · 05-17-2007, 10:52 AM

Good to hear about the progress - any chance you got a sound clip of the exhuast? If so, post it up!

Spray-Bomb · 05-17-2007, 10:52 AM

This is the shroud I'll be using, just gotta get some new mounting hardware

This is the bolt I broke off (Dang that pisses me off)

**Yukon Jack** · 05-17-2007, 10:55 AM

Does suck about the bolt breaking - how's your access to it to be able to get the remaining portion out?

I tried the other day, but it didn't come out

Maybe I can get a friend to lemme borrow their video camera

Well I have the tools & the know how, but the want to is not there
SO I guess it depends on what a new one costs

Spray-Bomb · 05-18-2007, 11:06 PM

Well I got a little bit done today

Fan shroud is now installed

I just have my mufflers hang'n to hear what they sound like, & boy do the sound good

Also put on my CherryBomb stickers

rough69 · 05-19-2007, 03:34 AM

Nice thread and truck

Spray-Bomb · 05-19-2007, 09:41 AM

Thanks

**Palf70Step** · 05-19-2007, 09:53 AM

Oh yeah, gotta have the CherryBomb sticker

.

Truck is coming along nicely

Spray-Bomb · 05-19-2007, 09:59 AM

I downloaded a recording program on my laptop, so I should be able to get a a sound clip soon

Spray-Bomb · 05-25-2007, 08:59 AM

Well I picked up the pipe & hangers for my exhaust yesterday, so I will be getting that on today

I also plan to get my rear yoke & X-member finished, that'll be everything under the truck

So by Tuesday, I plan to be street legal & on the road

Spray-Bomb · 05-25-2007, 11:02 PM

Ok, I got my exhaust on, rear yoke on, & some little tinkery things
I went for a cruise & came back with a couple of leaks I need to fix, but nothing major

I have some more tinkering to do, but I should be on the road by Tuesday

Spray-Bomb · 05-25-2007, 11:11 PM

Dads 67 & mine

Don't worry, it's not warped just one un-level ground

Spray-Bomb · 05-25-2007, 11:13 PM

Tav & I may get together Monday (I think thats when he's off)
So that'll be cool

With me luck
