Re: Project Money green
Lots of elbow grease and the frames got a fresh coat of paint. Pulled all the old brake lines out and will be installing the SS ones I have this week. Next on the list is to prep and paint firewall.

Re: Project Money green
Looking good man, you do nice work. Is your garage heated at home?

Re: Project Money green
Thanks, I built the garage probably 6 years ago. It's 24x30 with 11' ceilings, I insulated all the walls and ceiling and hung sheetrock which made a big difference. I have a small Bottle Dawg heater but if I leave it on 50 its fine. Natural gas is awsome my bill is usually 200 bucks for the whole winter

Re: Project Money green
Lots and lots of scraping and sanding this morning. Need to patch a few holes and it's ready for primer. I really want to do vintage air setup to clean up firewall

Re: Project Money green
Looking good almost there. Are you going to paint the engine bay black or green again?

Re: Project Money green
Firewall is going to match green, picked up base clear for that. I have to paint the new inner fenders black and might do bottom of hood black as well because it's pretty rusty and the black will hide it better

Re: Project Money green
Got some work done on the firewall and installed aeromotive stealth fuel pump in tank. My vintage air setup should be here Tuesday and Ill start welding in firewall plate. Hoping to test fit motor and trans this upcoming weekend.

Re: Project Money green
Looking good. That is the setup he used in my truck as well. Corvette fuel filter with built in regulator. We went with an external pump though. Can't wait to see this truck this year. Hopefully we can meet up once the weather gets nicer and my truck is actually roadworthy.

Re: Project Money green
Motor is in and test fit went well. Stands are in forward position and speed engineering plates all the way back. Headers fit great, going to need a little clearance on the belhousing where starter mounts. Also looks like I'll be able to keep the low hump floor and just trim lip between firewall and floor. Making progress

Re: Project Money green
Looks great, your making some good progress now. Must be a nice feeling when everything is finally test fit and you know all the parts work together.
Is the motor stock and is it going to stay that way? |

Re: Project Money green
Thanks, I upgraded to a 216/220 texas speed cam and PAC springs, trunion upgrade and new head gaskets. I wanted a mild cam as my gto has a good sized cam and driveability suffered a little. The 350 that was in the burb had maybe 175hp so the 6.0 should be much better. Excited to get the painting done and get on with putting back together

Re: Project Money green
Firewall is green now. I am by no means a body and paint guy, but I'm not afraid to try. Paint came out nice, I could have spent a lot more time on body work. I am very happy with results as it's my first time spraying base/ clear coat.

Re: Project Money green
Looking like a truck again! Got the front sheet metal back on and installed cold case radiator and fan setup which was super easy. Drops right into the stock HD brackets and fits like a glove.
Third row seat brackets are done and installed, now I can install the fuel tank and lines for good. |
