I need some opinions on this custom little air intake I got from my buddy....

late68 · 02-21-2012, 11:58 PM

Keep in mind it does need some paint, it's just blasted right now, but just in decision mode and trying to see which way to go... here are someore photos as the truck sits now, I hope that its primed and painted by saturday but I won't be expecting it.

late68 · 02-22-2012, 12:00 AM

Well that was a color I found online, not sure what company made it, I found in online in Europe. But I have actually changed the color and forgot to update that. NEW COLOR IS HOUSE OF KOLOR KBC03, WILD CHERRY KANDY

lol, yea you must have a bad mofo and a huge shot of nitrous for that power at that rpm.....ahaha

litew8 · 02-23-2012, 12:48 AM

It's still up to the challenge, no doubt

I still say BRING IT! without hesitation

You're going to fab some tubes up to the rad support for the cold air intake?

late68 · 02-23-2012, 11:48 AM

Going to attempt to fab some tubes, not quite sure how that is going to work out yet!

BACKYARD88 · 02-24-2012, 06:12 PM

late68 · 02-24-2012, 11:25 PM

Finished up the motor last night.

late68 · 03-13-2012, 01:44 AM

He I go again.... Got a slow but sure update. Got some odds and ends put on the engine. Balancer, water pump, distributor, plugs, wires, valve covers that I had powder coated and milled. Waiting on some aluminum pulleys to come in from my buddy accross the road that is going to make me some at his job. They look really nice on his camaro that he made some for so he said he is gonna hook me up with a set.... Sweet!

late68 · 03-13-2012, 01:45 AM

Oh yea and I forgot to mention that beat up cluster that I have. Not sure what I am going to do with that yet. Prolly going to build a complete aftermarket bezel and gauges.

late68 · 04-06-2012, 11:36 PM

Hey hey hey! Got some paint on the ole' beast!!! Bed is done, and cab just about done. Should have it back by Monday. Damn I am excited. Been 8 months already...

That speed warning cluster is pretty rare. I would get a new bezel & lens and fit your old gauges to it to retain that original speed warning option.

**67cheby** · 04-07-2012, 12:52 PM

nice paint ! and what 68TT said that cluster is worth a little cash, dont mess it up !

late68 · 04-07-2012, 05:39 PM

Well should I just sell the cluster? I'm going all autometer for my set up.

Well I had my headers blasted and repainted. Kinda a flat black, also got my new fresh transmission in. Got a "good used one" that I pulled the pan off of and it had a hole on the inner casing the size of a credit card. Ugh! So just went the coreect route and bought one fresh and new.

There is a special place in hell for people who sell known bad parts to someone and tell them "it worked great when I pulled it out"

Sorry you got bit by that.
