Project Slo-Go 67

[Alan's Classic]

Awesome job. Looks like your getting the hang of it.

Had a pretty productive day. pulled the coresupport, and radiator to get ready for the crossmember swap. Pulled the cab as well, since the PO has the ebrake cables wired to the frame and trans crossmember. I will have to figure out how the ebrake get mounted to the frame properly. Tomorrow i will power wash the frame and engine/trans, hopefully i can get the engine/trans pulled as well.

we made some progress over the last couple of days. we have the frame stripped down. we have sprayed it with oven cleaner, power washed it, and are in the final process of finishing it up with the wire wheel. The 15 yo is really getting into the teardown and rebuild, so i will try to keep it going at a good pace. My youngest son is also lending a hand.

There is no turning back now!

we are also expecting our 2/4 drop from ECE shortly.

Appreciate it Don.

I made a little progress. need a couple coats of chassis black now.

I got sidetracked working on my old indian 50cc (MM5A) for my youngest who will turn 2 Friday.

[Richard8971]

Love the bike! I think it's great that your sons are helping you. Frame is looking good too! Hopefully as your oldest (I have no idea how many you have...) will want an older truck instead of a newer "dur-dur" Honda when he gets old enough to drive!

well, i made some progress. 3 coats of chasis black on the frame, trailing arms, crossmember, 1 inner fender, and UCA/LCA's

[my67chevytruck]

well, we have the rear suspension in and all bolted up now. I need to run the brake line and make a mount for the brake junction to mount on the rear crossmember. we have the front crossmember mounted as well. We need to clean up the rotors and springs, then paint the rotors, spindles, and springs so we can continue the front install.

[my67chevytruck]

We Have a Roller We have installed the ECE 2 1/2 spindles( spring compressor was fun!!), new rotors. installed the brake caliper. the still need to button up the inner/outer tie rods etc. but we are making progress.

[gcburdic]

NICE!!!....keep at it man!!!

[my67chevytruck]

we painted the tie rods and the idler arm etc. we should be able to mount later today then the front of the chasis will be buttoned up. then we need to clean and prep the motor for paint and serpentine belt setup.

Frame looks sweet, keep at it! Also nice job with the Indian!

[my67chevytruck]

Thanks Kyull, it's been fun.we are already thinking about another project when the 67 is done. my wife thinks we are crazy.....

[Alan's Classic]

Lookin' awesome!! You are a tad bit futher on your frame than I am. It's alot of fun when you can work on something without getting dirty.. When you get done for the day you can look at it and see that you have got something done. Keep it up.

[my67chevytruck]

Thanks for the comments guys! Im trying to keep it interested so my 15 yo doesnt get burnt out but he's doing pretty good thus far.

[nuke1]

Excellent project, i am sure he will stay interested, just don't bust his arse too much, otherwise, but honestly i am sure he will want to be the first one to drive it.

[my67chevytruck]

Thanks. we are doing this as a father/son build and this will be his. he gets his license in Feb'09 and this will be his DD when complete.

[68 short step]

looks great,yall keep up the good work

[my67chevytruck]

Thanks Don! I want to have your skills when i growup!

[my67chevytruck]

we made a little more progress the front end is complete. we mocked up the gas tank, installed the sending unit and mounted it to the frame. we also installed the SBC mount in the frame. the last pic is when a 15 yo has too much free time with the power washer!
