Re: '67 Short Step #2
Excellent!!
Man, that is one slick look rig, no doubt about it. The paint turned out great, and the scheme is really growing on me, lol. Can't wait to see/hear that 6 spring to life. What do you plan on running for exhaust? -Sam.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I've always been a sucker for glasspacks, especially since I'm a big fan of the rap off.
Otherwise, I'm sure any sort off muffler would due; it's all about preference. Flowmaster, Thursh, etc etc. Everyone will have a different opinion. So, with that being said - 26 inch glasspacks (Thursh steelpacks for classic sound, CherryBombs for price, whatever) as close to the headers as possible. then just 2 or 2.25 inch pipe to the destination of your choice. It'll have that classic six babble, and be pretty mellow with the longer 'packs. But, thats just me. whichever you choose, I'm sure it's going to compliment the truck nicely. -Sam.

Thank you, take your time and do your research and anyone can do this. I'm 21 and this was my first time doing all the work myself. Of course I couldn't have done it without help from members of this board, especially Bobbo for his help with the engine. And it turns out Bobbo that my heater core does leak. That sucks. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Well it's about 1:00 am and I just got done with the pinstripe. It looks great and really sets the paint off. I got all the glass installed and we ran the engine for about five minutes. The engine is sounding great and is super responsive. I think it will really surprise some people.
Thanks Bobbo! The plan is to get the exhaust done on Thursday, work out a few bugs, finish assembly, and then cruise it to Kansas City on Saturday morning. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I got more parts installed today. Here's what it looks like with the pinstripe. The front looks weird in the picture and I had to go out to my gargage to make sure it hadn't moved on me. It's just the angle or something though. I even took a video of the engine running with open headers. I bet you'd like to see that but I don't know how to post videos.
I'm really happy with how well the paint turned out, especially considering this was my first time painting, it was done in my garage, and with a $100 spray gun. I still need to cut and polish it but unless you're right up on it, the paint looks perfect. Maybe this can be some motivation for some of you out there. I built this truck for under $7000.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
If that's not motivation, then I don't know what is....
Beautiful work Kyle! By the way when you cruise to KC on Saturday, are you heading to any shows? I'm running up to KS to pick up my '72 doors, and then I'm going to try and stop by Doug's. Might run into you there...

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Looks good man. You really pulled off a nice truck on what most would consider a small budget. Don't park it in the garage
