Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Glad you are enjoying the thread Justin.
I use it as a record for what I get up to as well, and often just chuckle when I look back. Fetched my stick welder back from Mickey next door who has had it at least three months. I think he forgets. Cut, measured, cut some more and prepped a bunch of bits, then welded it all together up to a point. I decided to make my battery top clamp horizontal, rather than vertical. Also to run threaded bar with nuts both ends, and hopefully if I can get a metal sheath, I will cover the threaded bar over. On the way to work today I popped into a specialist nuts, screws etc shop and bought four domed head bolts to,fit the battery tray onto the chassis with, under the cab. Loads of photos can probably say it all. I wanted to try retain my top terminal battery, rather than buy the sexy side terminal model Ian had bought. Front view ![]() Rear view ![]() Diagonal side view. ![]() Without battery, which is a large size 70a/h model. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finished off by packing away everything and then painting the first coat of Hammerite. Next coat 06.00

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Thanks guys...... Only one problem.
In redesigning Ian's design to a horizontal hold, I forgot about the upward motion induced by potholes. Diagonal side view. ![]() So I will be altering the angle of the threaded bar tonight to diagonal so it can hold down and inward to the chassis.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Hope to collect early Wednesday morning.
My Mig welder so trigger has been on self destruct mode recently, which had me looking at alternatives, including upgrading to Euro Torch. Seems it can be done with my Clark machine, but before I got to that, Scottie from Scotland offered me an almost new torch from his last machine that self destructed for postage to try out on my machine. Thanks mate, the pouring rain here has stopped me fitting it here at this moment. ![]() Tonight Martin popped over for dinner so we could do some of our road trip planning, including me purchasing the extra baggage at £55.00 for an extra 23kg bag. He also brought me some large wing nuts for the battery tray, and some metal sleeve tubes to go over the threaded bar. And this...... ![]()

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Yup !!
Thank you. Yes, I do like it as well. Today Nicola went to meet up with an old friend who has retired in Thailand as a language teacher. As always they have lunch, followed by a charity shop walk about. Today Nicola bought an evening dress for £2.50 by Maria Grachvogel of London (go Google that brand) where dresses like this usually come in at over £1000.00 She also brought me a £1.00 treat that she found in one of the shops. I saw one once and commented about it. Am I pleased? Absolutely. ![]()

Many flanges to build the custom exhaust with the QTP cutouts, stainless and mild steel for various connections to headers and out back. Made by a friend who wears tHe cloak of invisibility that anonymity offers. Thanks mate !! Mostly 3" outlet, but 2.5" for the mild steel that the silencers and tail pipes are going to be. Still going to be an anti-social thug this truck when done. ![]() Pretty darned impressed and happy. Quote:
Clem, I am happy too, especially with moving the battery from the engine bay.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Got home from work tonight and got to look these flanges over properly.
Technology does deliver. Neat Neat Neat. ![]() I also cut and got the exit tips that will go after the valves to protect them from road debris and rain sorted. Then I went down to the local pub to meet up with Colin, Martin's welder mate to discuss what needs doing. All agreed and will be done in three weeks when Colin is back in the country. Laid out. 2.5" flanges lead to 2.5" pipes and Flowmasters. ![]()
