Matthew, looks like your going to have a nice place to work on your truck. Your putting the tilt front end on your truck? That should look nice.

283 Man · 08-08-2007, 02:51 PM

He wants Matts front end plus $600.00 for his front end,I think thats a little high of price so were not 100% sure if he is getting it. yea the grage is pretty good size were Matt works.Hows your 61 coming along Jermey?

Its coming along slowly, but it will get there. I'm waiting for some new spring plates so I can bolt the front axle back in. Then brake lines, power booster and so on. I'll post some pics when I get parts in and bolted on!!

Later, Jeremy.

283 Man · 08-16-2007, 04:56 PM

hey Jermey Matt decided not to buy front end off convertable, getting the New rebuild 283 that was yours in 2 weeks

. matts come along little by little on his truck he bought a welder today to finish up some stuff on his 66. Jermey that guy that I just wrote to was my boss at work ,now hes on different shift ,I sold him the 250 6 cylinder out of my truck hes pretty cool likes 64-66 chevy trucks like me

.Cant wait see your new improved 61

.

slammed1966chevy · 08-17-2007, 08:12 AM

Like my dad said i got a welder now , so you guys keep an eye out i can make alot of progress on it now .

But here is some pics of the welder and me welding

It does not have all the bells and whistles but it gets the job done .

283 Man · 08-17-2007, 10:46 AM

slow66 · 08-18-2007, 02:47 PM

Hows things going Morton? I kinda thought it was you and your son when i saw the pics. If John brings the truck down to Bville give me a call Id really like to see it up close. If ya need my number, PM me and Ill send it to ya. Does Matt have the bags done yet, I will have to go back and look at the wheels I hope Stephen didnt sell him the Coddingtons. Matt keep up the great work bro, pretty soon we will have to line em up...

BIG CTY · 08-21-2007, 12:25 PM

Hey slammed, good progress on your truck! Question about the peep mirrors...I bought straight armed ones which appears to have been a mistake as I cant even see the one on the passenger side. Can you see out of the curved pass side one when driving?

I can understand why I cant see out of straight armed ones on the passenger side, but it seems like the curved ones would work. It might have something to do with me being 6'5" stuffed into a cab with racing seats...

I like the straight look a little better, but I cant just keep buying mirrors! The previous owner never reinstalled the mirrors after he painted, so I'm left with holes in my door

. I guess I'll just get some regular mirrors to cover those up.
