Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build
Life definitely gets in the way, particularly house projects. House before hot rod is how it has to be tho.
Nice progress. How’s the firewall and cowl rebuild going?

I've been trying to come up with ideas on a homemade paint booth that I can just have set up in my garage for awhile. I think I have a plan figured out finally, now its just cleaning the corner of the garage and building it. I really need to get going on priming some of my parts that I have sitting around with no paint before they spot rust. |

Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build
Made a little more progress on my brakes. I ended up ordering new hubs for the front to make it a 5x5 pattern. In doing so, I either had to order new rotor hats ($225 a piece) or drill the 5x5 pattern into my existing ones.
Ended up drilling my existing ones. I did 3 of the 5 holes myself on one of the rotor hats, but couldn't get the last 2 holes since they were half way into the existing holes. (I need a drill press). I called up my buddy who is a machinist, and he was happy to help. I brought over both rotor hats to his garage and watched him do it. Pretty amazing to watch him do the work on his mill. Both hats fit nicely, now its just getting the front brakes put back together. |
