Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Well, now I've decided since I have this nice clean new harness, I don't want to put it on a greasy engine. So guess I'm gonna work on scubbin' it down and painting. Also, got some cash to buy my battery!

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Yep, I'm checking in
![]() Was just wondering if you were going to paint them too...they make the high heat cast iron paint which would look good against that green ![]()

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Unfortunately I can't get the exhaust pipe loose from the header (already broke one stud off). And the intake is actually not too bad, just needs to be cleaned up a lil more. So just gonna put them back on as is. The black does look good in the last pic the fan & pulley is primer, painted them satin black. I'll post pics of it when I get it all put back together. And hopefully running!

Crazy about that green! Been thinking about bringing my truck back to stock (6 cylinder) and your engine is hitting the right buttons with me. Excellent choice!
You asked about the rust on the manifolds... that will never really go away without sandblasting and an exorcist, BUT it usually doesn't creep through paint. I have painted manifolds like that and they looked great for a couple years, longer if you hit it first with some metal prep (muriatic acid based product). Doing a build on a tight budget is tough, you need to set priorities and stick with the basics until your budget picture improves. You sound like your on the right track with that - get it running, take care of the small stuff that needs rework before modifying anything. Clean, paint, clean, paint, clean.... You can vastly improve your truck and make it a pleasure to work on by getting everything cleaned and spray bombed. A lot of work but dirt cheap and it pays off big time. You may even find that you like it better as a fresh stocker then something modified. Looks like a great beginning no matter which way you go with it!

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
^ Thanks DesertCat! Yeah, I've seen so many of the straight sixes done in the more common chevy orange. Looks good, but when my truck is gonna be a burnt orange/copper color I think it'd clash. The original Alpine Green color really pops under the hood of my truck anyway.
Well, I think I've been talked into spray bombin' the exhaust, but the wife insists on watching our money right now (got a 2 week vacation comin' up!). ![]() I've been working on it today. Put the fan and pulley back on. Really (such a small thing) happy with the fan spacer. Took the old one and cleaned it, hit it with some 1000 grit sandpaper, and buffed it with some Never Dull. It shines like a new penny now! Got my carb/throttle linkage back on the intake, good thing I took pics of that ![]() Don't worry pics soon to come! ![]()

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Picked up a chrome oil cap today for it. getting rid of the breather, I think you don't need it if you have a pcv valve. Anyone know?
Also I was wondering if my alpine green is year correct for my truck/engine? Either way I love it and gonna keep it even when I rebuild, but was curious. Thanks in advance!

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Ok, so here's some pics for you guys! Still putting the engine back together as you'll see, but making progress!
Got a custom made license plate made while we were down at Myrtle Beach. I saw this color and the bowtie emblem, and was trying to think of what to put on it like the year of the truck and maybe my wife's and my names', and then she says "why don't you put Slick Copper on it?". ![]() While I was installing my new wire harness she just decided to come out and take a couple pics! Man I love all the room under the hood of these trucks! ![]() I can feel it, I think it'll be running soon! Keep 'yer fingers crossed!!!!
