66 SBFS street truck

[McMurphy]

One of my best friends has a 67 LeMans painted very similar in color. It looks amazingly green in the sun, black at night...

Very nice, your dash looks great all around, not just the AC controls !!

Thanks guy's...

I am in the shop on it again today....will update pictures soon and do some replies...

Very clean work!.......how is low and go coming?

[chevyrestoguy]

Man, you do nice work. I always look forward to updates on all of your threads.

So I have the right vette covers but to use them I have to modify them and do the crafty " Dino conversion " to get a pcv and breather into them...Yea they are polished and powder coated.....then i decided too modify them....poor timing on my part.

I found the filler door down in Phoenix and had my local guys track it down for me here...just getting ready to cut in the next day or so. I had to drop my fuel tank and remove a board from the section I wanted to install into....pain in the a$$ to say the least. But my tank had the filler in the wrong spot so wanted to mark it and have it done right

Did I miss something?
Your color (here on my screen) is a Dark almost bluish/black sinister green. Black in the dark, light hits it and POW.

Ain't fair to keep it a secret I tell ya. oh btw, bed wood looks good too.

It's based on a VW color and then we messed with it a bit...for the record I don't want Bomp not sleeping at night...lol

Crap I forgot to measure it but I think it's a 32 " I will have to recheck that ...
Well did a litle work on the pro the other day but it's in body shop jail at the moment. I think I might get the engine finished it's all sitting down at the engine shop as we speak.... 454 with aluiminum heads 671 Blower 2 x 4's with twin NOS.....If i hadn't already bought the blower carbs I would have done injection I think

I stuffed into my buddies shop because I am building my buddies 54 ( totally crazy truck the most wild thing I have ever touched )

But there is a spot at the body shop so I might take it too him to do a couple of things....I would love to drive it this year...So many projects so little time lol

Thanks...

You have no idea how nice it is to hear that kind of stuff....I have been pulling wrench for what seems like ever...and once in awhile it's nice to get something positive back. I ain't no Dino but it's nice to be able to park beside him some times....lmao...and I did with my 58

[wutnxt]

Pulled the gas tank back out and have it all marked to move the filler neck to the right spot for function and form.....Hope to get that done tomorrow so I can get this thing done and on the road. Got my new fuel pump delivered and thats on the weekend list

[jlsanborn]

Spring is just around the corner and can't wait to see this thing buffed out in the sun!

[bj383ss]

Those valve covers look so awesome. Definitely be worth the trouble of making them work.

Me either ....I think once it's polished and the sun hits it it's going to be deadly. It looks good in the shop with crappy lights so ....I hope it was the right color choice.

Yea I recked the roller rocker set up and they clear so.....I figured out what i need to do to make it work and there is no going back once the drill hits it...lol....But thanks I was nervous powder coarting the red into those fins but it looks great. The next trick for me is to get the right air cleaner to go with those covers.....something finned.....something with out a brand labeled all over it.

I haven't seen how Dino did his valve covers, but here's how I hid the PCV connection on mine:

It may be of interest if you haven't started drilling yet.

Yea I haven't started drilling yet and have talked to my buddy who has a small C&C machine about building something for me and now that I have seen what you did I am inspired....Yours is very sexy and I really like the monolithic kinda look. Great job...great design...and thanks alot for sharing that...

[wutnxt]

Started my sub box the otherday....I have a few ideas I am kicking around at the moment and I hope it all works out in practice like it does in my mind....lol

[wutnxt]

Well I bent up the fuel line from the pump up to the carb today between some other tasks....it took awhile to get it bent the way I wanted and I am not sure yet if I want to try it one more time , so I am giving it a day to grow on me.....lol
