The block is POR15 (never again) and everything above it is base coat/ clear coat. The exhaust was high temp coated.

I should have clarified, I will never try to "spray" POR15 again. It was a mess and I should have just painted the whole motor with auto paint like I always have done but I wanted to try something different.

nevets · 10-13-2011, 05:22 PM

just found this site and following your thread, I have a 1969 GMC, 6 lug juice brake that i am converting to 5 lug disk brake. I really like the new camaro SS wheels, but was wondering if they will fit on the 1969 5 lug rotors. anyone done this??

ccreddell · 10-13-2011, 06:30 PM

Easiest way to do that is to get a C5 Dropmember-it has the correct bolt pattern. Then run either a GM car rear end or go with with a Vette rear end.

Man I just want you to know I have followed your trucks for awhile and though I am a fan of a slick deep paint job I would be honored to own any of your trucks they are absolutely beautiful. Nice trucks.

BTW truck looks awesome, love the wheel choice.

The extreme make over thread has all the good info and a good portion of the pics still in it... Btw saw lucy in the street trucks and the v-8 just killed it for me but to each there own I guess..

aggie91 · 12-04-2011, 06:02 PM

My boys and I got to see Hazel in person for the first time yesterday at the Turkey Drag in Tyler yesterday. She was in with the status gang set up. Lucy was there too.

Hazel is so nicer and better in person. We did not see Keith to get to talk to him, but we got to look her over and get a few pictures. I really love the interior. The seat looks real comfortable with the extra padding in the cover to make the insert more defined.

Keith, you have done a abosolutly great job on this truck. Man I wish I had half your skills and vision for what we do. Sorry we did not get to say hello.

n2billet · 12-04-2011, 08:50 PM

Sorry I missed you......yeah I parked with some of my old buddies....I really wanted to get a picture of Hazel and Lucy together but I ran out of time....

Keith - how do you guys make those stands? just a bunch of 2x4's stacked one on the other? (what your truck is sitting on in the pic) Are they pretty stout? Pressure treated lumber? I'm trying to figure out a way to get my truck a little higher off the ground for blocking.

Thanks.
