i feel for ya dude - my 1st body guy left me hangin for a year - finally took a truck;w/a trailer and 2 big friends to get it out of his shop - luckily i was able to get all my parts back some in primer -some not - but had the best coat of desert dust i had ever seen - good luck w/ your project

[mknittle]

there used to be a few body guys like that around here.

I worked on my frame after going to pick and pull and looking for a camaro t5.
I am thinking about a warm six and a 5 speed. I have a decent 250 but would like to have a 292. the good part it is the intake,exhuast snd valve cover will fit both.

Ditched the junk quadrajet for an Edelbrock 1406... Huge difference!!! New fuel pump and fuel lines. New plug wires. Dual radiator mounted electric fans!!! Busy day with lots of progress!

Never driven a I6 before, but I decided on dumping a 292/5 speed in mine when I was doing the build. Something different and I am amped to see how she runs.


Ordered the rebuild kit for the Monojet carb. I am going with the stock setup until I decide to change the setup around to split exhaust.

Different is a good thing! I am thinking about building a camaro/S10 T5 for mine.There are a couple I6s around here that sound real good.I alo like the way the old UPS 300s sound

Had to replace my well pump, but indoors I made a decal for "Patty Cakes", using my wife's photo and an Air force Logo. The truck was an Airforce "follow me" truck at Nellis AFB, and Patty was the the one that wanted us to have it for some fun. So in her memory she will always have a place to ride shotgun.

WOW! uhhhh ummm nice decal

I used to have the glove box doors chrome plated for shot gunners

Thanks, guess you can see why I miss her, ALS is a horrible disease.

Very cool tribute to your wife. So nice that she won't ever miss a ride with you!

Test fit the bumper and welded in the 1 3/4 tubing plugs that slide in the 2" tube welded to the frame for the bumper. Filled in the top to more closely match the body/fender coutour at the fender curve, cut and filled the sides to match the wheel opening angle and found out I put the whole thing in UPSIDEDOWN! .....but I like it. It's off to the chrome shop today.

Oh man I know too many stories that are similar and even worst than yours. Its sad, but you simply can't trust a lot of guys to do what they say now days. The my word is my bond thing is fading into a thing of the past. Not with me though my word is my bond that's why I'm not quick to say I will do something.lol

Which is why you've never told me you'd do a damn thing for me!

I'm kidding, I'm KIDDING!!

So what's the latest on your truck, Bam? Been kinda quiet on your thread lately.

[hotrod1]

They call it PAINT PRISON. Where is your car? It is in paint prison.

Once it is there, you have a very hard time getting it out. May take a pardon from the governor.

I will get the numbers and pm you. I am not planning to use it again, so I am sure we can work something out if it works for your application. Gotta work tonight, so I will get the info to you tomorrow.

OK Agnes. Is it a side inlet or straight inlet? I'll wait for you to get the numbers.

I spent a good portion of the last few days reading-reading-reading on which lock up style I want to use for my 700r4 conversion that is taking place in a couple weeks. Im either going to build a system , or modify a TCI set up with vacuum and a brake switch. Pulled the trigger and ordered all Lokar throttle, pedal , TV cable and brackets instead of using wrecking yard and fabbed stuff.

I would give you the thumbs up but i cant find the button i get myself into things tha way too. The problem is I have a talent for finding the ones with the most oddball one off projects.
