good info on powdercoating...

stock water pump pulley (as far as i know), truck had a HD cooling option, 4 core radiator and double belts to the alternator. Also had a smog pump bracket on pass side, which is what i assume the three groove pulley was for. Crank was only a double pulley but i added a third for the power steering add-on.

Stock radiator pipe that I picked up from the board,

Powdercoated stuff looks good Mike...That rad pipe looks familiar

I haven't been around for awhile, so I just caught up on your build...Progressing nicely, really dig your parts stash.

I know I missed this, but are you keeping the orig green color?

glimmertwin01 · 01-27-2010, 07:18 PM

I'm thinking about a similar dark green newer GM color.. I really like the paint on the new 15 pax van at work, polo green metallic green...

like the old vette paint, plus the truck was 505 Dark green originally, I just want to stay semi original and make it "pop".. It will have an ivory nose and tailgate letters, SS bed strips and would is TBD, plus NOS side mouldings.

actually since '06, I'm active duty military, family of five, working on my MBA, left for 6 months for another school and limited budget... so it takes awhile!

Plus not to mention he has a stock-o-projects!

They absorb the fundage!

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-28-2010, 01:44 AM

Mike, look up the Fathom Green of the 69' Camaro and '70 Chevelle, it is a gorgeous dark green with a metallic type look. It has a little bit of olive in some sun, but is a dark green. I think it would accent the body lines nicely and have a vintage paint vibe. Just a thought. Trevor

I'll check it out.. thanks

I figure since this will be a resto mod I don't want the single stage dark green, a metallic would be nice. Hopefully that doesn't mean that the body work bill goes over $5K (which is cheap I know) since mama holds the stimulus donations.

msgross · 01-28-2010, 09:21 AM

Fathom green looks nice

msgross · 01-28-2010, 10:21 PM

I got my rad support back from the PC today, look pretty good but not 100% perfect... Also had him blast my water pump so I can get some paint to stick...

think I should prime again or just go straight engine paint? its pretty etched now so I think it will be fine..

big_al_71 · 01-28-2010, 11:00 PM

Mike I really like the powder coated stuff.....IT is coming along

msgross · 01-29-2010, 10:07 AM

thanks Al...

freakin furnace went out again last night, house got down to 56, about 25 outside right now....

sourkraut · 01-29-2010, 10:14 AM

That sucks! I had went to turn on my gas fireplace only to find out it had leaked 500lbs of propane due to a boken flare nut outside. Propane is $4 something a gallon you do the math! So I feel your pain!

msgross · 01-29-2010, 10:17 AM

ouch, I have natural gas and my budget only runs about $70-$100/month... my neighbor heard that and installed a natural gas furnace, he had a heat pump and had $400 bills last year.

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-29-2010, 06:38 PM

I would personally shoot an engine primer, or I would just shoot the engine color. Many paints will not stick to etching primer like you used, and is probably why it had some problems. Trevor

msgross · 01-29-2010, 07:41 PM

the paint stuck to the etch, it was on the backside of the orange paint chips! The etch didn't stick, that was the main problem... The pump was a fairly smooth cast piece that I didn't properly prep I guess...

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-29-2010, 07:52 PM

Oh well that happens. Hopefully it stays this time or you can tell him the same thing.

Dudewith4x4 · 02-02-2010, 11:02 PM

Dam dude. Read your build. Very nice. Keep up the good work man.

msgross · 02-02-2010, 11:40 PM

thanks, it's a slow process

Dudewith4x4 · 02-02-2010, 11:44 PM

So is mine but atleast we are enjoying it eh?

msgross · 02-02-2010, 11:53 PM

glimmertwin01 · 02-03-2010, 01:17 AM

My 70 GS was that color Cept Buick called it Sherwood green its pretty nice...

67gmcstepside · 02-03-2010, 12:11 PM

Hey the SS is the same as my Z other then the RS. The green does look good but I might be bias!!
