Re: My 64 goes to Lowboy for a back half

let's see. last week most of the oil leaks were fixed. mounted the rear bumper. Rasied the tranny up an half inch..still viberation. Had a new drive shaft made...the old one had dents and was untrue...

Smooth as silk last night. Found my last oil leak, coming out of the distributor. So I will work on that today and order my AC unit.

Runnin outa sh** todo! Next....

Re: My 64 goes to Lowboy for a back half

still have some oil leaks. found a major source. The valve covers i used didnt have the plugs removed for the pvc and breather cap. sooo lots of block pressure pushing out the oil everywhere.

nocked the plugs out and seemed to fix the issue. We will see when I get home this week. Drove it around for a couple of hours, no issues runs great...

Ordered AC unit!

Very cool! I really like the looks of metallic paints with a satin finish.

Re: My 64 goes to Lowboy for a back half

The paint is hot rod flatz champaigne metalic gold.

Here are the plans for scallops

Joel Nelson of 1320 designs www.1320designs.com has worked his butt off on the body of this truck. He did a great job cause the bed was real ruff. He also did the pinstripping on the aircleaner...and this photo shop

Erock,
Sweet ride man. About your signature, it says "You can't polish a turd," I'm sorry to have to tell you that the Mythbusters busted that myth a while ago. It turns out that turds can actually be polished.

Here's a link to the video...

Re: My 64 goes to Lowboy for a back half

These trucks are perfect for scallops. If I may suggest, try lengthening the top part of the scallop on the side (right below the body line) and making it slightly thicker. It seems like it needs to fill more space.
