Re: Freddy's '52
Well Monday made the trip to SC to get my ECM reprogramed and then went to Southern Rods and got my A/C-heat unit. Took all day but, saved me a little money. The last big purchase left is getting the gaskets/rubbers for the cab/doors and get two pieces of glass made for the windshield. Everything else is nickel and dime stuff and then getting it going.

Re: Freddy's '52
Been plugging along getting things buttoned up on my engine. Hopefully get it cranked by months end. Little things like wire loom, getting hose made, mounting headers and replacing stuff with new items. Not any pictures to show for those things. But, I got my mandrel bent 90's yesterday and spent last night getting my fuel filler tube mocked up. Here are the pictures.

Re: Freddy's '52
Yeah RB I am getting a new pair of Z28 hoses.
Got some things done Saturday and on my day off Monday. Got frame made to relocate fans, fuel filler tube completed, radiator put it again and front clip mounted again. I think I'm gonna have to pull it off one more time to trim some metal in various places. I took my truck off the jack stands and FREAKED out, it had been so long since it was on the ground I had forgot just how low it sat. Here are pictures. |

Re: Freddy's '52
Took the front clip off for hopefully the last time last night. Did some minor metal deletion and now everything on the radiator doesn't rub. Now trying to figure out how to secure the front clip to the frame and where/how to mount the battery. I couldn't help but take a picture.

Re: Freddy's '52
I like what you have done, it's coming together nice. What are you going to do for inner fenders?

Re: Freddy's '52
Looking good.
For what its worth,this is were I put my battery. It makes it easy to get to.I'm sure a lot or folks like the clean look under the floor/cab/bed.I like getting to it to keep from something getting fried(damn kids).

Re: Freddy's '52
i been watching green machines a while back about that electric dragbike .
the lithium ion batteries are so powerful they make a car battery with the power of a normal battery but the size of a motorcycle battery , you could hide that a bit better maibe even mount it under the seats or dash (no liquids inside could be mounted upsidedown if needed )

Re: Freddy's '52
Thanks, you guys!!!
Inner fenders.... well, I was laying in bed thinking about that last night. I think I am going to take my s10 inners and mate them with the '52 ones. Since I used the LT radiator the original ones would have to be modded heavily up front. I will go from there where to mount the battery, I have thought about them same location as RB's since my a/c & heater hoses will come out of the factory hole above it and clearence wouldn't be an issue. |

Re: Freddy's '52
Had last Friday off so I got a little done. I went ahead and used the original inner fenders just heavily modded the front but I think it turned out good. In the future I am going to try and put a piece in place from there to the front for full coverage. As you can see got the PS resevior in place and last night made the battery tray it will go where the black mark is on the firewall.

Re: Freddy's '52
This thread is a WEALTH of information!!! I will be putting a 94 Caprice 9C1 LT1 AND 4L60E in my 55 1st series with an 85 S10 LWB chassis. I am sure that I will be coming back here often.
I have a question aout the Aveo guages. I assume that the spacing between them is different than stock, making in necessary to build a new pod in the dash (?) Would it be possible to separate the gauges to prevent having to build a new gauge pod? Here is my build thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=422521 Last edited by WIDESIDE72; 03-11-2011 at 01:35 PM. |

Would it be possible to separate the gauges to prevent having to build a new gauge pod? Afraid not on the pod, your idea was what I had in mind to start. Then I received the pod and quickly saw I was in for moding the dash. If your 9C1 has the green hoses they are good forever (never to fail), I found this out on a impala website when I googled LT1 reverse cooling. If you hadn't got one already, order a after market transmission cross member like 50 bucks. It will make for little work and easiler tail pipe routing.

Re: Freddy's '52
Progress report: more wiring done, firewall / interior painting, and my marker lights I bought off ebay modified then mounted onto the top on my fenders. Oh yeah rear bumper put on also but, I'm not sure I'm gonna leave it on.... your opinions please.

Re: Freddy's '52
Looking Good SSR I see the rats got a hold of your wires. What do you think of the bumper? I am going to have mine but pull it up and in closer the the body it stuck out to far for my taste, but thats me and I aint like everybody else. It would help hide the gas tank in your case.
Joe

Re: Freddy's '52
I gotta agree with rootbeer about bringing it in closer and higher. i dont know about the blinkers on the front fenders??? maybe in a different position, i dont know maybe its just me, i never liked the blinkers on top. but to each his own. i do like the progress and the pictures..

Re: Freddy's '52
I like that bumper. Really fits a "meant to be used" image. I'd run it if it were in my garage...
