Did some painting and added some diamond plating on my tool box fer my truck today! Almost got her done!

**TJ's Chevy** · 02-09-2014, 08:28 PM

Got my tool box mounted today!

MikeS. · 02-10-2014, 01:09 AM

I fired up both the 63 and the 66 and let them run for a half hour.

NEWFISHER · 02-10-2014, 01:48 AM

I tried to open the doors on mine and start it, but the ice is still too thick to get in, so I watched the icicles grow throughout the day.

speedy_steve · 02-10-2014, 11:21 AM

Bought a few parts and went to work polishing and porting the head.

ziplock · 02-10-2014, 01:10 PM

I got my engine re-mounted. Really confident in these!

vin63 · 02-10-2014, 03:11 PM

Finally got to the initial coats of body filler for my fender modifications and repairs...lots of sanding ahead for me...

Widened rear wheel tubs, plus welded up several holes the previous owner drilled in the originals...

grs · 02-10-2014, 05:41 PM

I installed a cup holder on the seat.

schpeen · 08-12-2014, 02:45 PM

came off jack stands after being up there for the last several months

took her out for a spin up the road and back and everything seemed to work just as it should

tight and solid no surprises I love it!

**pimpston65** · 08-17-2014, 10:14 AM

Went up for a flight in my girlfriends dads plane!!!

**pimpston65** · 02-11-2014, 02:01 PM

got my tested and painted rad today looks AWesOmE. only $118. some other guy only wanted to recore my good rad and charge $317 plus $197 for labor. the true craftsmen i went to used lead on the tanks and did it right!!! use only folks that do it right instead a folks looks loking for the easy way out and charge high prices for no effort.

**pimpston65** · 02-11-2014, 05:42 PM

well got my "correct" pre-bent trans cooler lines had to make some mods the trans inlet and outlet part of the lines went up facing the hood? anyone every hear of a rad that had the ports on the bottom? not sure how that would work as the rad sits on top of a crossmemeber with no cutouts for trans lines, unless that style of rad had no cooler and a seperate trans cooler was used from the factory.

Blue666 · 02-11-2014, 06:23 PM

Finished my center console. Repaint, new hardware, LED lights with switch.

Johnny Too Bad · 02-11-2014, 11:50 PM

Weather finally warmed up enough to get a few things done. Dropped the back 2" with blocks from way2lo2. Now the front looks ridiculously high. Next step is to bring the front down with some new springs.

Also replaced the old ramhorn exhaust manifolds with some new block hugger headers. Reset the timing. Installed a new radio antenna.

So how did you do it.... Fiberglass and filler or just sand it smooth

65Gregg · 04-03-2014, 07:44 PM

Ordered and recieved my American Autwire kit! Soon I will have upgraded wiring and 18 blocks!

YoungRasta66 · 02-12-2014, 11:03 PM

Got my letters all white

also did straight pipes today heck with a cat

YoungRasta66 · 02-13-2014, 12:48 AM

Hahaha

grs · 02-13-2014, 02:14 AM

Do you need a cat on old trucks? I like the small rear window, and the truck looks nice. You need back up lights. I will be putting them on my 64. And are old trucks pollution tested? We have safety testing here in Texas.

YoungRasta66 · 02-13-2014, 04:32 AM

Hey gsr! Thank you.... I'm really wanting the big window... In Cali you don't have to have any smog pollution test on any car made before 1975.
