Supposed to be GM light green #503 but it didn't quite turn out when mixed, even though the mixed sample was dead on... A little bit lighter and less blue than factory. I can live with it.

Intake/Exhaust manifolds installed, got the beast up an running! Vast improvement over last week.

Picked up a very nice cherry picker last night to assist with the '72 front end swap. No Origami folding monkeys here...this thing is substantial.

I had a guy offer to rent it from me on the drive home...makes it an even better investment!

62bagger · 04-23-2021, 09:10 PM

Dash is in. Now all that is left is the rest. wiring is not something I have experience in so it takes a lot longer than I would like.

I like that setup on your cherry picker.

Yes, sway bar, correct.

Thank you sir! I was not wanting to schlepp some folding, janky monstrosity in and out of my vehicle...wheels good!

Looks great!

Picked up the front end from a 72 C10, with torsion bar. Looks like plenty of life left in those rotors, had factory AC/Delco shocks on it so maybe low miles. Gets a power wash this morning and start pulling it apart.

Also scored a nice collapsible tilt-column out of a 67 Riviera with a floor shifter. Was a good day for parts.

Torsion bar? Looks like coils to me. Do you mean sway bar?

Installed Hood Brace Pad kit, adding a little quiet to the rolling oil drum.

Took a flat screwdriver to the front end yesterday, scraped a couple decades of mud and gook off the thing, then turned the power washer loose on it. Next is to pull the calipers and rotors and start ordering parts. All the steering joints feel solid and move free, all rubber is intact, ball joints feel pretty good too, but need to pull it apart anyway.
