Luckin-Fou -
Anything up with the truck? Frame looks good so far, just curious if there are any updates....

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-07-2008, 08:53 AM

Guys sorry that I have not posted anything. I was in Vegas last weekend at Mopars at the strip. A bunch of mopars the show was great. Anyway when I got home look at what was waiting for me. That Camaro looks great I want to see more pictures of it. I really like the way you installed the 3-Link.

The Caprice in the back round is my 4 door hardtop. I plan on putting an LS Engine in it with a Pro Charger. I want to build a nice driver out of it.

That Camaro looks great I want to see more pictures of it. I really like the way you installed the 3-Link.

I need to make my own headers for the truck. They look pretty crazy.

I'm going to run 2.5 exhaust on the truck. I want to get it done before I put the body on. This way all I have to do is cut the floor up.

I'm going to run those Hushpower mufflers I heard that they were pretty good.

oldspowered67C10 · 04-07-2008, 09:08 AM

Nice work, this truck is shaping up to be pretty wild, keep the progress pics coming.

IvelDesigns · 04-07-2008, 09:16 AM

wow, guess this is what i get for not checkin' in on the suspension forums in a few months. great build for a square body. can't wait to see the fab work to get a body to sit on that frame.

Since my tivo isn't getting any Lou love anymore, guess i'll have to let my 67-72chevytrucks.com subscriptions get the love.

welcome to the boards man and awesome looking build

Bishops Trucks · 04-07-2008, 10:21 AM

That header looks scary. Nice looking work your doing Lou. I agree with the pics of the Camaro, we need to see more. There are a lot of Camaro owners on this site to, why not start a thread on the build of it.

grady5 · 04-07-2008, 03:18 PM

that header looks really cool, i may attempt something similar for my truck. by the way you got a few extra clamps i can borrow?ha

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-07-2008, 04:02 PM

Man those things are crazy looking....

texanidiot25 · 04-07-2008, 05:02 PM

Medusa headers.

mike nutt · 04-07-2008, 05:18 PM

lou , glad to see you here on the board. truck is looking great . what's your plans for the final look(color , wheels and etc .) ? well, keep us updated on the progress on the truck and your web site , good luck! mike

shortbed70 · 04-07-2008, 05:37 PM

Lou I need you to build me some headers... Looks good.

kingsolver72 · 04-07-2008, 10:12 PM

I've enjoyed watching your show Lou..I like your boldness in taking on projects. Good luck in your future endeavors bro.

AirMale · 04-08-2008, 12:44 AM

love the build Lou

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-23-2008, 01:32 PM

Here are a couple more pictures of the truck and one of me doing what I do.

smashingchuck · 04-08-2008, 05:10 PM

Are the headers going to clear the firewall...? look really tight.

msgross · 04-08-2008, 07:05 PM

Nice work, welcome....

Go Army!

I can't tell any Navy jokes or i'll get kicked off! lol.... I am one of your fans as well, my wife really hates all the "muscle car" shows that fill up our TIVO though!

Super73 · 04-08-2008, 08:46 PM

Lou,

Follow this link to the Camaro.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...93#post2648693

ACE67_72CHEVY/GMC · 04-21-2008, 09:02 PM

WOW... just found this thread today...awesome to see you on here Lou... I always watch Powerblock...that new guy is pretty cool--he's painted some sweet rides...but the show isn't the same without you...o well, guess your in better buisness now... Anyhow keep on keeping on with this build...

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-22-2008, 02:52 PM

Well I started putting the body on the frame. I know what most of you guys are thinking what the hell is taking so long. It is a real pain in the ass to get your own show and web site built way more than I ever thought it would be. Any way the body is in place and it looks crazy!

I've seen the foil BEANIE!!!

That engine set back isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I didn’t have to cut out the whole firewall.

I’ll put the bed on when I get it off of the table. It will be a lot easier.

I was a little worried about the shifter. I was already thinking RAG TOP like the old V-DUBS but NO !! It fit.

tvblazer78 · 04-22-2008, 03:46 PM

Looking good man!!! Love the headers..

Before I trimmed it, my shifter rubbed the roof... now it's a more reasonable height

bw4sale · 04-22-2008, 04:20 PM

This truck is going to be sick! I love it. Keep it up.

aggie91 · 04-22-2008, 06:48 PM

I just found this thread, Great to have you here Lou. Have been a big fan, I noticed that you had not been on the show lately...

I can't weight to see this thing together and on the ground..

IvelDesigns · 04-22-2008, 07:00 PM

and look... the shifter is the perfect height.

i know this is a bit far off, but what's the paint plan / theme? flat black with pin striping and baby moon hub caps?

**Captkaos** · 04-23-2008, 07:08 PM

Sweet Lou! whatcha measuring the front wheel opening for?

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-23-2008, 09:13 PM

I have to make sure that the wheel is in the center of the opening. I can't stand the wheel not in the center of the opening.
