Project Vitamin C-10

[70 Suburban]

when i did my 58 i paid 50 per glass to have them cut.. I think an extra 5 a hole to be drilled. if I wanted non laminated they would cut drill then send out to temper

Incredible job on the kitchen Alan, I will have to agree with the rest of the posters on here, what else can you do perfect? Thanks for the part numbers on the fittings, I am adding it to my list of future projects

Thanks, I'm not perfect by no means. On the PS hoses Bill and Joe had some great info too share about the fitting in the metric pump will unscrew then you could use a standard fitting.

I officially don't know what it is called, but when I am using a 94 serpentine setup for my 70, and all I had to do was unscrew the large bolt fitting (my yellowish arrow point to it) from the new style pump, and screw in the one from the old style that my 72 pump had. I was able to use the original 70-72 hoses then on mine. If I ever decide to go with the later model box with a quicker ration, then I can swap the plug back and use the later style lines. Sorry I didn't think about it earlier when you were starting on yours. My head has been stuck in computer/network issues at work lately.

Thanks for the info and pic Bill, it won't help me at this point in time, but will help others. I will remember it for future projects.

Bill, we just went thru this also... i saw this idea on another post... too bad we had already found a custom fit hose....

198plus donated this too my build. I plan on painting it the same color as the roof. Thanks again 198. I don't think there is a dent on it.

Nice score Allan. I want to paint it, but get it sandblasted first. I plan on painting the top half of the truck Corvette Torch Red, and the bottom half black separated by a silver stripping. I was thinking of silver for the grill. What do you think?

Your welcome.........Thanks to you also

those wheels look like watanabi's

Allan you might want to check this out if you don't like the price of granite. With your skills I'm sure you could do it yourself.www.buddyrhodes.com/ The pressed finish looks kind like granite. Black with white grout would look cool.

Alan, I did a concrete counter in my old house. It was my first time and I picked the hardest possible way to do it (in place). It came out pretty good, and everyone that came by loved it. I think it cost under a couple hundred bucks to do. The worst was grinding it in the kitchen. That dust went everywhere. Next time I will build a mold and do it outside.

The form is the way to go. I did my bath room. It was my first time too. I did the loose fill but if I did it again I would'nt pack it so tight, leave more voids it would have looked better. For the price $100 compaired to $600 for granite I was happy. I would do it again. Ya I hear ya on the mess part. I did mine in my garage next to my truck. It still has the spatter on it. It won't come off. My thinking is it will help hold the rust together.

I think that would be a good color scheme.

I would have to cook a lot of bacon to cover up the paint smell.

Ya'll miss me yet?.....................................Like a mother-in -law when she is far, far away.

Just to let ya'll know I'll be on vacation (staycation) this week. Not really going anywhere can't afford too. One thing is for certain I will not be in the shop or near a computer. So if anyone PM's me you will now know why I'm not answering.

[joe231]
