VA72C10 · 03-01-2011, 11:29 AM

So are you going orange, black, or matching the truck? (or something else?)

**67cheby** · 03-01-2011, 11:39 AM

sorry, I forgot. I will check this evening for them

tubbedII · 03-01-2011, 12:20 PM

You did a great job on the heads...are you planning to pull out a rotary tool and smooth it all out too? (Might as well...)

**67cheby** · 03-01-2011, 12:37 PM

that would sure look killer...but...NO, it was a big enough pain to just strip it , i cant even imagine how much time it would take to smooth them out !!

watahyahknow · 03-01-2011, 12:46 PM

i would let my worse enemy smooth a block its a LOT of work , done a motorcycle egine once ,,,, never again

**67cheby** · 03-01-2011, 12:52 PM

N2BILLET smoothed his block.... i guess i will just have to stare at his and be JEALOUS !!

I smoothed my 355 also

Took me about 5-6 hours over two days at three or four different times (kept getting bored doing it)....

**67cheby** · 03-01-2011, 01:33 PM

i am the extra mile kinda guy...but so little of the block can be seen once everything gets on the motor i just cant justify it !!

I understand and don't think I'll ever do another one

tubbedII · 03-01-2011, 01:41 PM

Haha! I couldn't even imagine ever doing it. I love going to shows and staring at details, but to honest, a smoothed block is never a detail I look for or even have ever noticed.

watahyahknow · 03-01-2011, 02:27 PM

if i would smooth some of the block out i would do the valey and all the holes to get the castingflash out and improve crackresistance and oil flowback

**LEEVON** · 03-01-2011, 05:20 PM

Looks good man! Love the wheels! How did you strip the block? I've got a few different coats of paint on mine and having a hell of a time getting it off. Cory

**67cheby** · 03-01-2011, 06:20 PM

Slick67 · 03-02-2011, 11:48 AM

$10k? We always underestimate! I am jealous of alot of things you did on your truck and will keep them in mind on my next project. Love the valvecovers!!!

No kidding. My wife always doubles the amount of money I think a project will take and triples the amount of time I think it will take. She has been pretty close to right every time.

i had more fabrication left than i thought i thought i was ready for body work......but i had to do my gaps wouldnt have been happy if i didnt , and my front inner fenders have cost a small fortune, and yep i have always loved the factory valve covers for these trucks!!

**67cheby** · 03-02-2011, 12:05 PM

$10k is the real deal though ....thats exactly what i need to finish it, and i dont have it so....maybe i will have a great summer for car sales !!

watahyahknow · 03-02-2011, 11:37 AM

**67cheby** · 03-02-2011, 11:40 AM
