I can build engines do anything pretty much mechanical, fab and weld most anything but bodywork, wish I could do the magic like your project, smooth.

i found these random boxes containing the brake assembly parts. Gas and brake pedal. I made the brake pedal to match my gas 1. I also drilled the brake pedal arm to match the gas 1.

Nice work. The pedal looks great.

mcbassin · 03-03-2012, 12:14 AM

Those look like some real nice custom parts.

smokedat · 03-03-2012, 10:40 PM

I got the trans mount and poly plus, from cpp. this part does not fit properly. I had to slot the slots and ream the frame holes, and grind the ends by like a 1/16 on each end, in order to install this.

smokedat · 03-03-2012, 10:45 PM

i strated installing the mirrors but after a few drinks i lost a screw, spent about 1hr looking for it, will have to make a trip to hardware store. so i canceled the operation, only did 1 side

smokedat · 03-10-2012, 10:46 PM

And i got 2 gallons of Glasurit 923-200.

mcbassin · 03-11-2012, 12:56 AM

That is some serious equipment you have there Alex! That looks like some high dollar paint material you're using too. Looking forward to seeing it on your truck.

smokedat · 03-11-2012, 02:21 AM

Gracias, if you have any questions I will be glad to help.

Well I admit to beaing a chronic tool hoarder. I see blue in the near future, after 3-4 yrs in the making it's finally becoming a reality. I am trying to put together a quality product as this will represent my name and demonstrate my crafting abilitys. Everything is done in house nothing is subbed out, other than the upholstery, I don't do stitching .

mcbassin · 03-15-2012, 11:45 PM

Blue looks great Alex! That is a sweet color.

68 TT · 03-16-2012, 01:00 AM

Very nice Alex. Great work. Can't wait to see the rest in color.

Pop's C-10 · 03-16-2012, 01:01 AM

Very nice work! Love that blue color!!

raull · 03-17-2012, 03:18 PM

subscribed !!! nice build you got going , love that vette too man !!!!!

smokedat · 03-22-2012, 11:56 PM

i started final assembly on the front, being extra cautious not to scratch anything, all bolts have lock tite applied and torqued accordingly. i still need to install the rack and the spindles.

VA72C10 · 03-22-2012, 11:59 PM

That looks awesome!!! The bright against the blue....nice!!!

smokedat · 03-23-2012, 12:04 AM

Reinforcement to the cut out i did for the steering shaft. i used some flat bar following the cut out, i welded it all the way around back and front and sanded the top smooth, after the paint it really looks good

smokedat · 03-23-2012, 12:08 AM

as for the k member itself i did not want to weld it. I prefer having the removable option, this might be needed later in future for what ever reason,

gracias for the compliments im just glad theres someone out there that appreciates this, kinda makes me feel a bit normal as many of my closest peeps call me crazy, but it doesnt bother me, you either get it or you dont, this hobby is not for everyone.

smokedat · 03-23-2012, 12:37 AM

I second that, this blue is ****in sweet it likes to show itself in different tones depending on the light and angle
