Happy New Year folks! Kicking off the new year by working on the 66!

Weather was rather warm at 57 degrees for a January which is awfully rare so I took advantage of the day off and got the drive shaft sanded and painted. Did have to warm up the metal first as it wasn't quite warm enough but it came out just fine none the less.

Hope everyone is having a great day. More updates tomorrow.

Love the colour and the craftsmanship! Really nice work. What calibre is that in the background laying on the bench? Us Canadians love our guns too!

Really nice work - love the 60-66 trucks too.

Ya-hooooooooooooooooo. Glad you got it fired and she is running good TJ. Can't wait to get my 250 back again and get it going to. As they say, now just all the rest!

**The Rocknrod** · 01-08-2020, 09:13 AM

Still hooked on both haha Unfortunately time and weather hasn't helped with getting back in this one yet. I'm gonna start on it soon though once spring time madness slows a bit and the weather is more paint friendly haha

TJ's Chevy · 09-08-2021, 11:52 AM

Well after to long a pause I'm finally back on the truck with some updates. Got some vacation this past week and I'm finishing it off with some progress on the 66. Got some pieces primed in yesterday and paint is due in today so hopefully later I'll have some updates with all these parts in gloss black and clear.

I also recently got the trans tunnel shifter hole welded in and relocated so I'm happy to paint that up and get it bolted in to finish the interior.

Gotta work on the under side of the hood and put some epoxy and fill primer down and do some color sanding so if all goes well I'll have primer laid before the paint shows.

TJ's Chevy · 09-17-2021, 02:29 AM

Well nothing super exciting to update about but the primered parts are now in black paint and curing up. Hood is covered in filler primer and now comes the color sanding for base coat. Weather is supposed to be wet this weekend so not sure if I'm gonna be working on this truck paint wise. Hoping to get the hood painted in before fall sets and the winter prep work begins. lol
Might have to get the buffer out and do some polishing this weekend if it's gonna rain. Got fenders and smaller panels to do.

**The Rocknrod** · 09-17-2021, 01:02 PM

Great work, love to see your updates.

Got the hood painted up yesterday. Did color sanding, masking and all the painting in day. Needless to say it was a LONG day haha But glad to have the hood in pain and ready for cut and buff.

**Palf70Step** · 09-26-2021, 06:55 PM

Hard to believe I haven't update this since last year. Time sure flies.

I ended up going a different route with the carb setup as the demon just didn't seem to tune right. Never idled right and seemed sluggish when revved and that's without me even driving it.

So I decided to try out the Quick fuel 600 cfm brawler and I'm already happier. Added bonus was this carb also has a manual choke and the demon didn't and nor was a manual one available.

Decided to repaint the intake and headers while they were off as some of the paint had cracked and my intake/exhaust gasket cracked so I went a different route with that as well.

Plumbed in a fuel pressure regulator and gauge under the air filter for a cleaner and more hidden look and all seems happy at 5 psi.

Now to working on the exhaust. I fired it up open headers and about went deaf so it's time to get some exhaust done again. Decided to rout it as far as the axle for now and I'll finish it when the bed is on.

Until next time folks! And here's a crap load of pictures lol

**Palf70Step** · 05-05-2022, 07:13 AM

Shiney! Pretty! Looking ready to roll!

**The Rocknrod** · 05-05-2022, 10:00 AM

Thanks! I've enjoyed building this and man I sure can't wait to drive it. Gotta get to work on it more for sure!

Gonna start working on some exhaust tomorrow hopefully and figuring out some mufflers. I was running flowmaster 40's and I'm thinking of switching to 50's. Hoping to borrow a set from the muffler shop and see how they sound.
