Hey lucky, welcome back, where ya been hidin?

72chevyfleet · 09-11-2010, 04:01 PM

well there are a bunch of other little things so the list should look like this
-Exhaust
-headlights
-license plate light
-registered and insured
-sending unit that will hopefully take care of the fuel guage problem
-do something about the bed floor most likely get an 8 foot piece of plywood for now
-fix the rear window slider
-exahust turndowns to the ground
i think thats all

72chevyfleet · 09-11-2010, 05:25 PM

alright i took out all the rubber mats and sound deadener that came from the factory i did find out that theres no gaping holes in the floor pan which is good one little hole a decent amount of rust but thats no big deal i found a ten dollar bill from the P.O. haha

72chevyfleet · 09-12-2010, 05:40 PM

a wee little update i got bored today so i painted my alternator bracket and i wanted to show you what my current project is its my dads all original 66 mustang 200ci 3spd my brother heated it up a little too much and blew a couple freeze plugs and sheered off a manifold bolt so we are taking the head off and getting the bolt out and replacing the freeze plugs and maybe this week im taking 3 rims off the truck putting these spares i got on it and getting the tires unmounted then sandblasting the rims and getting them painted black i can only do 3 cause i only have 3 spares it will look awesome

72chevyfleet · 10-26-2010, 02:06 PM

one wee update for who reads is the truck doesnt like quadra junks this ones leaking now so i really cant let it run but last night i got a edelbrock 600cfm with electric choke and today im getting a i think edelbrock air gap intake and roller rockers for my brothers el camino then i get my license in january so it will be on the road before then to make sure theres no problems just a couple little things to do before it hits the road like exhaust and license plate light which i will get screwed to the tailgate and its good to go

67chevylongbed · 10-26-2010, 10:24 PM
