Re: Hazel the older Sister....

I just noticed you don't have the trim around the headlights and the leading edge of the hood. Did you remove that or did the truck not come with it?

In 67 the trim didn't come on the hood or on the leading edge of the headlights.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

I've got a couple more questions for ya. Did the 67's ever have any of the following: White grille area, white roof, white below the side moulding? I'm trying to decide what combination of things I want to do. I don't really care what is "correct," but I do really like the way your truck looks. I always envisioned doing the white grille are, white roof and side trim...decisions, decisions.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Keith can you tell me how you did the upper radiater hose is this a Kit or something that you just built with pipe, I have seen these on several cars before but never seen them for sale anywhere.

Thanks Kevin

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The 67's had white roofs but they only painted to the rain cutters and didn't come down the door posts. I have never seen one painted in the grille area or below the side molding but I could be wrong.

Like Scoti said, it's exhaust tubing that I piece together and then seal the inside with motorcycle gas tank sealant to keep it from rusting, bodyworked the outside and painted flat black.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Got to looking at some of the pictures I've taken the last two years while building this truck and thought I would show a little before and after shots.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Keith now that your done, and it's up and running how do you like driving this work of art? We all know she sweet looking but for me i like the details of how she goes down the road and how it handles. Is she as fun to drive as she is to look at?

Thanks Ray

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

It's not "done" I'm still working on all the little things I had to skip to get it to the show. I'm also tuning it and with any luck will have it on the dyno in a few weeks........I have only driven it about 10 miles but I will tell you it rides extremely nice and I had it only about 2" off the ground for the last 5 miles or so while I was trying to get the sweet spot on the air ride

That is really cool to here Keith! now i am 100% jealous! Good for you with all the hard work you put into it, it is nice to here your having some fun with it. When it's all said and done it would be cool to see a video of it rolling down the road just inches off the ground.



Thanks Ray

Keith When you did the core support did you weld all the holes up on the top or did you just use filler.

Thanks Kevin
