Sanded and sealed the roof on the '66 and now it's too windy to paint

; guess I'll do some more service/mechanical stuff.

70inline6 · 01-23-2011, 09:20 PM

...Some of the "while I'm in there" for my front clip R&R. Got a new exhaust manifold and freshened up the intake. I cleaned and resprayed the block a little.

lotussutol · 01-23-2011, 09:39 PM

Put the sbc 383 and tranny in the truck. Pulled out the crap stereo (four speaker holes to weld up now), pulled the dash out to get ready for the gauge swap.

badblu97 · 01-23-2011, 09:59 PM

Tried to track down an electrical demon on the 66, think I got it pinned. Had to quit early, iys moms birthday today! Still not running quite right. Think maybe its the timing.

jimmydean · 01-24-2011, 02:33 PM

Please wash it down and PRIME it quick - been there done that, it will flash rust quicker than you think.

tapeworm · 01-25-2011, 01:56 AM

Finishing up on repairing rust on the firewall. Only a couple more small patches, and finally will be ready to strip the old paint & spray some sealer

283nova · 01-25-2011, 09:13 AM

am going to pick up my 5 lug stuff today and drop my seat off to have the tuck n roll done up

66coffin · 01-25-2011, 04:39 PM

was bored with no money for parts so i pinstriped the hood.

**Clyde65** · 01-25-2011, 04:46 PM

Towers, where did ya get the blasting done and what was the price ?

*lakeroadster* · 01-25-2011, 05:56 PM

Bought a set of new rear shocks and designed some upper shock relocators to get the shocks setting more upright.

On the way to the parts store I saw an early 70's shortbed 4x4 that had a nice lift kit with mudders all the way around. Everytime I see a vintage lifted Chevy I wonder why I dropped mine instead of lifting it.

Remember Dino63's lifted long arm 2 wheel drive?
