Ok, still haven't washed the 67 ( The Intro's are so dirty I'm afraid to wash them). I broke the carrier bearing on the 2pc drive shaft and had to change to a 1pc (found one on ebay for $180 shipped).

I don't think that the 67 is going to give back the Intro's, so I may have to upgrade the projects wheels.

Next I want to finish the cab (primer), put the hood back on and start on the bed!

I still can't believe its been almost 5 years since I pulled this thing apart.

Both trucks look great really like the 67 with those rims

Blitz · 02-25-2009, 12:10 AM

My goodness that thing is nice! I hope there will come a time when I have something That special. Can't wait to see more progress.

Raguemoe · 02-25-2009, 12:17 AM

The project with rallys on!

Raguemoe · 02-25-2009, 12:51 PM

Here I go again. New wheels for the 55!

ColoradoK5 · 02-25-2009, 12:53 PM

Looks sweet! can't wait to see a pic of those new shoes on your 55. What size did you go with?

Found them on ebay (18x8 f & 20x10 r) $2200 shipped, between selling my old wheels and extra parts I have I should be $0 out of pocket (that's what I told the wife anyways!) Speaking of shoes she said they look just like the wheels I have on the 55 now, sounds like me telling her that all her shoes look the same.

What's the secret in keeping your garage so clean??

Well 1st I think I have A.D.D., also I just went through everything to get all my extra parts to sell for the new wheels (check the parts forum:SoCal parts). We also had a few big rain storms come through,so I let my dog in the garage for a few days-well he made a mess and even tore up one side of my buddy buckets. As soon as I get the bed on and get the motor fired up (project), I plan on painting the garage and having an epoxy floor done.

I think you mean OCD.

I just mean how do you work on your truck in there? I don't even see a hammer!
I have little paths in my garage cuz I have so much crap crammed in there!

I got the stainless headers off ebay. They are for a late 60's Chevelle/Nova. I had to grind the CPP tubular motor mounts and dimple the headers to make them work. They might work better with the stock motor mounts. They are mid length, if I were to do it over I would go with the set that Early Classic sells.

Slik69 · 02-25-2009, 11:02 PM

Thanks. Will look into those. Highland huh.. I used to live in San Berdu.. went to college there.

*project 67 sub* · 02-25-2009, 11:18 PM

72BlckButy · 02-26-2009, 08:44 AM

i agree...hurry every chance u get!

Raguemoe · 02-26-2009, 09:36 PM

I may have both, all I know is that I have a "Chevy problem" (too many projects/toys and not enough money.) As for the lack of tools, if I knew what I was doing I would have all the goodies, but until a few years ago I hadn't changed my own oil. Thanks to this web site I have learned alot about these trucks and have done some cool stuff on my own. I have a large box in the corner and a small tool box (seems to do the job).

I think we all have "Chevy problems"! haha You're doing pretty good for someone who didn't change their own oil until a few years ago. Keep it up!

Raguemoe · 02-27-2009, 02:02 AM

My wife might help me with my problem when she finally gets fed up and takes half my stuff! I'll be living in the Airstream, use the buddy seat as a couch and drive whatever chevy(s) I have left.

BigShoe24 · 03-02-2009, 10:30 AM

Sick Rides bud, Keep up the great work. I love the new rims btw.

Raguemoe · 03-02-2009, 12:22 PM

It will take about a week to get the 55 wheels. After that I will have to take it to my buddy to have him lower the rear (68 vette IRS). BTW the Hopster (18x7 &18x10 wheels will be for sale soon).

garagemonster · 03-02-2009, 12:57 PM

nice rides!!

Raguemoe · 03-03-2009, 07:54 PM
