What are your plans for the exhaust? My advice is to tuck it up as high as possible for a lowered truck. I like to go through the T/A xmember. Here's what I did.

ol_skool_chevy · 06-10-2010, 09:34 PM

That looks good Frizzle Fry...I'm going to call on you when I need my exhaust hung...sence your here in Hillsboro....Im kidding....
I dont think he's going to lower his truck....I think he should...It looks cool and rides nicer..

**CHIZZLER** · 06-10-2010, 10:20 PM

ol_skool_chevy · 06-10-2010, 10:23 PM

**CHIZZLER** · 06-10-2010, 10:29 PM

not sure if i want to go through all that.maybe i will just bring some beers and walk around.

ol_skool_chevy · 06-10-2010, 10:36 PM

Im not sure if I will go yet....I told David "Irish" I would help him with his truck....we might need a Beer break and walk thru the show though

irish1966 · 06-10-2010, 11:05 PM

I have to watch the U.S beat England on saturday morning/afternoon. It's an Irish thing, with football (soccer). What time does the show start at?

**CHIZZLER** · 06-10-2010, 11:05 PM

here ya.maybe we could all get together some time and drink some of that dark stuff.(newcastle)

**CHIZZLER** · 06-10-2010, 11:06 PM

show starts at 9:00.

irish1966 · 06-10-2010, 11:55 PM

Sounds like a plan. If the weathers gonna be good this weekend, BBQ and beer sounds good.

**CHIZZLER** · 06-11-2010, 12:02 AM

sounds good.i bbq some mean dirty bird,(chicken)

irish1966 · 06-18-2010, 06:55 PM

Ok, quick update.... I have been really busy with other stuff and haven't got much done over the last week or so. I did get more of the bed sanded, but everytime I step outside, it seems to fricken rain(thx for the help with that one Kelly). The few nice days we did have, I was spending time with my daughter. I did clean up the bed supports the other day and painted them with the same semi-gloss that's on the frame. I did find another 66 that I'm thinking of buying as a daily driver/fixer. More to come on that one.......

irish1966 · 06-18-2010, 07:21 PM

Here's the 66 I might be buying.

ol_skool_chevy · 06-18-2010, 10:22 PM

You east have $450.00 in JUST parts off that 66' I can see alot of great parts on it....including patch panels.....Grab it!!

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 05:22 PM

Well, I bought the 66 in the pics above. I also found out the guy is building his own 66 as a rat rod. Needless to say, me and Kelly told him all about this forum and we hope to see him on here soon. Thanks for selling me the truck Jason. It's got the usual rust issues, but hopefully I will clean it up nice and use it as a shop truck/daily driver for the rest of the summer.

ol_skool_chevy · 06-19-2010, 05:38 PM

Nice find David......"Project Road Warrior"
it fits my build theme....Measure with a yard stick, Mark with caulk, cut with a torch..
Nothing has to be perfect.....hahahahahahaha...I love it

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 05:44 PM

I might Mad Max it alright. Rake it, paint it and tune it. Flame-thrower optional. I'm thinking, cut the springs, fill some small rust issues, paint the grill and bumper white and paint the rest of the truck the same green colour with rattle cans. Swap out the gas tank, and tune up the motor and throw on a diff carb. I have a few floating around that might work.

fryer1979 · 06-19-2010, 06:14 PM

Cool driver Irish, I'm even liking your ideas for it.

Dude your doing good work. I like this style but never could find one. I agree with the mad max part :P

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 06:48 PM

thx fryer. I just wangled the rest of the cash I needed to buy it, so I might go get it in the morning and start the transformation. lol

ol_skool_chevy · 06-19-2010, 07:58 PM

Flame-thrower mandatory

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 08:12 PM
