i just dont even try to kid myself anymore haha!

coulter · 12-17-2011, 11:32 PM

didnt get a hole lot done today.. put the motor and tranny together but the bolts on the torque converter dont line up with the flywheel so i gotta hold off on putting it in the truck.. but i did slap on the water pump and new alternator and bracket

didnt want to have to do this but o well... It hung way too low so i had to trim it a lil bit
you can see i cut a lil over an inch out..

luckly it didnt take much to get the tubes to slide back into each other.. but i might have to do a lil bending on it once i get it welded cause it kicked it out toward the frame rail a lil bit. need to put the starter on and get it in the truck to really know how its gonna fit

daverod · 12-18-2011, 03:01 PM

Sucks about the headers. Your picture of your shifter did make me go put mine on. I think I have the same one 32 double bend. I'm sure it took me twice as long as it did you. I don't like to read. Good to see you makin progress.

I love the build and your tasteful use of HDR photography. It seems most people process it way to much but yours look great.

daverod · 01-02-2012, 12:09 PM

"think its in there for good.. i hope!!!" If I was a betting man.

It coming along nice.

creep · 01-02-2012, 01:15 PM

Engine looks great! Getting closer to cruisin'!

McMurphy · 01-02-2012, 03:24 PM

Is your transmission manual or automatic?
I dont think I ever seen a manual with tranny fluid lines, or an automatic with a floor shifter like that....

coulter · 01-02-2012, 05:38 PM

its auto th350 with a lokar shifter

VeronikA · 01-04-2012, 05:58 PM

Yours is looking good dude!
You are about 3 or 4 months ahead of me on getting it on the road I think....

coulter · 01-12-2012, 05:46 PM

VeronikA · 01-12-2012, 08:03 PM

Heyy that's nice! Engine looks stunning buddy!!!! Just sorry to hear about the water pump. Hope they will accept that in Summit. Good luck with it!
Also love the pics as usual!!!!

Thanks for updates!

McMurphy · 01-12-2012, 11:20 PM

Just finished reading your whole thread again. Man you are doing great, and coming up on a year since you started this thread too!
I am probably going to tackle my floor pan, rocker panels and cab corners this weekend. I am off the next 4 days... we will see what I can get done!

Cant wait to see your next update, see what you do next!

Any pointers on getting those rocker panels off?

creep · 01-13-2012, 12:23 AM

Killer! Is Tuff Stuff the name of the brand or is that a Summit product line? I heard somewhere that chroming cast parts can make them brittle. Don't know if that's true or not but I still try to stay away just in case.
