I agree too, this is clever. Never seen it done before...thanks for the share!

Still making decent progress here, just not many pictures. Just today I installed a new pinion seal.

AJCK87 · 11-24-2016, 11:32 AM

Beauty Nik! Keep plugging away at her.

**Palf70Step** · 11-24-2016, 02:27 PM

Burnouts be coming soon!

Oh yeah, I just might have to do them on a wet wooden bridge since I only have the six

Just the other day I purchased some hubcaps from a good friend in comox bc, I believe they are 67-69 camaro/Nova/Chevelle. They should be arriving in the mail soon.

Great job on the truck. Things are looking nice.

Thanks rusty.

Today at school I used the metal lathe to make some pieces for my hydraulic clutch linkage. I turned down some roundstock and used my tap and die set to thread them. The threaded hole on this piece attaches to the clutch master cylinder and the threaded stick-out part threads into the rod end. The lock nut is to make adjustments and tighten it so it won't come out of adjustment

62stepside longbox · 11-29-2016, 08:38 PM

And the top piece here is threaded all the way through and attaches to the pedal and pivots on the rod end

62stepside longbox · 11-29-2016, 08:43 PM

And here it is together

62stepside longbox · 11-29-2016, 08:44 PM

I then installed the clutch master cylinder for the final time

62stepside longbox · 11-29-2016, 08:50 PM

Here is the linkage all Hooked up and adjusted

62stepside longbox · 11-29-2016, 08:57 PM

While I was doing this I decided to adjust the clutch pedal to a height that I like, it's about inline with the brake pedal (The angle of the picture makes it look out of line). I still need to add a pedal stop pad to prevent the master cylinder from bottoming out and also add a clutch return spring.

As usual Nik, very nice work. Good looking hub caps too

That T5 will make awesome 6 banger burnouts! This was on wet pavement but it does it just as easy on dry

Nice machine work! Sure beats buying a part.

TJ's Chevy · 12-01-2016, 12:08 AM

Good job bud.

On Friday I finally got the rear end all finished and buttoned up and I brought it home from the school shop. All it needs is a little paint on the cover and the adjusters to be set correctly

62stepside longbox · 12-04-2016, 09:21 PM

And today I did some drilling on the frame and got the power steering box mocked up with the adaptor plate

62stepside longbox · 12-04-2016, 09:23 PM

Another pic

62stepside longbox · 12-04-2016, 09:26 PM

And a close up of where I had to redrill the box so that all of the holes lined up with the frame. Now all I need to do is weld the boxed portion of the frame back in place and buy some longer bolts

**66ChevyMax** · 12-07-2016, 11:17 AM

Great work on the clutch hook-up
