Found a different used steering wheel to go in the truck one out of a Chevy Cavalier. Wanted something a little more sporty. But also with a factory look. not bolted in yet just wanted to see how it looks and I like it... ![]() |

Re: What I can afford, when I can afford it... 70 Chevy LWB
Got the parts back from the powder coater last week, they came out really good. Nice and shiny hopefully good enough to last another 40 years.
![]() Got the rest of the parts for the engine compartment painted today because it was warm enough. Came out pretty good, new inner fender wells from LMC were actually thicker steel than the factory one's that were rusted out believe it or not. ![]() ![]() Transmission painted also and ready to reattach to the motor, and I'm hoping that will happen this coming weekend, and we'll get it dropped back into the frame. ![]() |

Re: What I can afford, when I can afford it... 70 Chevy LWB
yeah shiny parts we likey!
I do appreciate you painting my inner fenders for me.. You can ship them to ![]() I've got a set here in need of a little metal work and painting.. But I like yours better. Seeing how they're done. Curious to know how good they fit. Keep the progress and pics coming! |

![]() Got the transmission seals and Vehicle speed sensor replaced so the transmission is ready to go back in. I've had a torque converter sitting around for months I'm excited to see it installed. |

Re: What I can afford, when I can afford it... 70 Chevy LWB
Congrats on the new baby. I think I now understand why the truck has been sitting outside under the tarp. I'm not a noisy neighbor, just observant.
Looks like things are coming along well for you. If you ever need a extra hand let me know. I'm at 1014. |

And really I've calmed down on my time table to get this done, with the new bambino it'll get done when it gets done and as long as I keep plugging away. Going to get it back inside this weekend and make a little more progress, Then maybe a short hiatus to work on my father in law's new toy. It's called a PUG, Kinda like a John Deer Gator utv he got it used, not running and needing some TLC to get going. I'm going to see if he wants me to get it up and running for him, and give me a little time to recharge my credit card if, you know what I mean. |

Re: What I can afford, when I can afford it... 70 Chevy LWB
![]() ![]() Was able to get some bolt on stuff taken care of over the last week or so, that and letting some parts pile up that I've ordered. I have everything I need to begin the wiring other than some loom and a oil pressure safety switch to control the electric fuel pump. Got the manifolds ready to paint. Should be able to get the garage warm enough this weekend to get those painted and bolted on. I haven't been very motivated to do much work in the evenings after I get home, that and getting my dad time in but I should have a little tinker time this weekend especially with an extra day off on Monday should be able to make some progress. |

Re: What I can afford, when I can afford it... 70 Chevy LWB
ooooo that looks SO nice. Getting that motor set back in there feels good huh?
headers are overrated anyway. Those Ramshorns will be just fine. |

With the motor back in it feels so much closer to being done even if it's still a long ways off. Can't wait to hear it running again. |
