Thanks Bro!!! I really enjoy hearing someone checked out the whole thread, it's a huge compliment! I have checked in on yours from time to time and I really like the finished product, it is SWEET! The rim and tire choice was perfect for your truck. Thanks again big al!

Slick67 · 09-16-2011, 11:43 PM

Well, today I set the timing for the final time and hope that the air/fuel is close. I pulled it out of the shop and back in to make sure all was fine for a short spin.

Here is the "little spin" around the block, everything seems fine except for the grinding sound in the speedometer. I guess that's not too bad. The video is kinda crappy since the camera was a little shaky.

Nice to see it back on the road.

It's far to quiet if you can hear that speedo mechanism clicking

It actually has quite a pleasant mellow sound to it at idle. It's nice to be able to hear the stereo without having it at 90% volume once in a while.

67chevy1series · 09-17-2011, 11:01 PM

nice! you know my 67 dealer book did say that factory A/C trucks are a quit ride LOL

Not to mellow when you are standing by the exhaust, so who needs a radio!

Maybe because the 2-55 air conditioning is a little loud?!?!?

Excellent job, I like the color of your truck.

slick copper · 09-21-2011, 03:42 PM

Yeah, you had reminded me of the time when I had just got my '67. I was cruisin' it around the block and my fuel pump went caput.
What about your battery/alt issue?

I think that is a common thing! The battery just won't hold a charge, but the alt is puttin out the right amps. I have had the battery for a year or so, maybe they'll replace it cause they know that my truck isn't on the road yet. O'Reilly has really been cool about that kinda stuff, and since I have spent big $$$ with them on this project they work with me!

Slick67 · 09-22-2011, 10:06 PM

Pulled the inline anodized filter today and pulled it apart to see a bunch of brown crap on the screen. Solved the fuel mystery! It was a pain to get to it so I moved it forward about a foot and a half. I pulled the battery out and took it to the parts house for another one, they pro-rated it so it didn't cost much at all. Runnin again!!!!! Ummm....no pics so can't really proved it happened. Dangit.

Slick67 · 09-24-2011, 10:45 PM

This page of the build thread needs some color! Unfortunately the color didn't match so I get to scuff it, sand it a little bit and then we get to reshoot it. My painter said "have some faith" after I told him it didn't look right, at the end of the day he was cussin like a sailer!!! The correct paint didn't cover with two coats so we used a different color of orange to "fog it".......bad idea.

Another shot of the latest misadventure of Slick67. Can't seem to catch a break at this point of the build. My truck has never been this dirty.

Yes sir it does. I like those 90s, they would work well if I have to go that direction and the price ain't bad either.

slick copper · 09-25-2011, 12:10 AM

Wow that sucks. Seems like when you go back and get another mix of the same color they always mix it a lil different. Part of why I'm considering a custom color or going by a very specific/simple mix. I'd love to do mine in Stacey David's Copperhead Orange w/white top.

VA72C10 · 09-25-2011, 12:14 AM

sorry about the paint issues...what about black

Slick67 · 09-25-2011, 01:11 PM

Thanks guys. I will be doing the spray on liner on the floor, but the sides have to be painted. That wood bed conversion will look funny sittin in there with black bed walls. Really hope we get to fix this soon!

Slick67 · 09-26-2011, 10:13 PM

Dang bolts get rusty quick in this southern weather. Anyone make orange spark plug wires, or would that be too much orange?? What about something different than the usual black wire loom?

If I remember right Taylor makes a set of orange plug wires.

I wouldn't go with any other color than black on the wire looms. I usually try to hide the wires and not draw attention to them when I can't get them out of sight. The black loom helps make them disappear.

VA72C10 · 09-27-2011, 12:30 AM

i have to agree....I like the hidden wires the best as well as black loom or the fabric style loom but still in black. I did the colored loom years ago....blue to match my blue 1980Z28 and chrome on a white VW turbo diesel beetle I had....but in 2011...that look is played out

slick copper · 09-27-2011, 04:45 AM

I believe Summit Racing has a nice set of 8mm orange wires. And yeah, I'd stick with black loom on wires too!
