The box is on!! Shout out to some good buddies who show up and work for beer! You rock.. No dents, scratches or floor time while settin her home.

jlsanborn · 06-29-2014, 04:00 PM

Looks great!

Molberg · 06-29-2014, 04:06 PM

Thanks!... here's a flashback. lol

litew8 · 06-29-2014, 11:24 PM

Sits nice. Always entertaining to see before and after side-by-side

swamp rat · 06-30-2014, 01:02 AM

Now ya just got to get it out of the garage and on the road, is the interior still gutted? engine? I came into the build later on so didn't read everything.

Bomp · 06-30-2014, 02:19 AM

Truck is looking great.

70blackfish · 07-02-2014, 12:27 PM

have you driven it yet?

Molberg · 07-02-2014, 02:22 PM

Thanks guys.... Haven't even fired the engine yet. Lol. Still up in the air as what to do for a carb. Was always an edelbrock guy. Never had good luck with the old holleys. Advice welcome on that topic. Interior all done.. As is all the wiring shy of under the hood. Engine/tranny done and installed. (383 with AFR heads/built th400). Was going to install serpentine setup off a 90's V8 with reverse drive water pump. Advice welcome on that one too.

Aussie Ol' Blue · 07-04-2014, 05:22 AM

Man! That is on very wicked truck! I would so love to have your talents!

That's going to be one hell of a traffic stopper!

jlsanborn · 07-04-2014, 10:19 AM

I've had good luck with the Edelbrock / AFB but a Holley is winner too. I'd go either way, whichever you can muster a better deal on. Just make sure she's clean and calibrated as it came out of the box.

Here's what I'm hoping to do...

With an automatic you may want to stick with the vacuum secondaries though.

I've been out of the carb thing too long I guess... Never heard of an AED. Looks to be modelled after a Holley. I'm eyeballing the edelbrock AVS series friend of mine has a new Holley on his '70 nova... And loves it. And he used to curse them up and down. Lol.

I believe Edelbrock bought out Carter who made AFB.

Thanks Aussie! I appreciate the compliments. Nice thing about a build thread is I can edit out all the screw ups I make. Lol. Nobody hears the cussing or sees the flying tools when it doesn't work out the first time.

litew8 · 07-09-2014, 07:04 PM

Wipers are fun

Mr.Hyde · 07-19-2014, 07:19 PM

congrats on the build! have to drive down and see it in person sometime!

swamp rat · 07-20-2014, 02:26 PM

I guess the big question is ...... Whats next??????

I grabbed all the engine brackets, pulleys, 7 blade clutch fan and accessories of a truck at the local wrecker. (1980 V8 chev truck). Bring them home and the water pump pulley touches the water pump when tightened. Won't spin. Ugh... I have a long neck water pump on my engine... I assumed 1980 would be the same. Compared part numbers from my engine to the donor on rockauto... They're different. Must be difference in the shape of the casting I guess. Pulleys all seem to line up well... It just touches the casting

Molberg · 07-21-2014, 10:41 PM

looks like I bought my next project today... gonna build a summer driver for the wife out of this.

swamp rat · 07-22-2014, 01:29 PM

Nice! But i was hoping you'd say Swamp Rats 67! LOL!

**davem815** · 07-22-2014, 06:51 PM

Hey, that's a hatchback. I had one of those for my first car. I've only seen a handfull of hatchbacks. '73 or '74?

Molberg · 07-22-2014, 11:39 PM

Its a '73 hatch... 350,auto, buckets and console. Wife is stoked..lol. Got side tracked for a day hammering up an anniversary present for the wife.. This started off as 3" copper pipe and 1/4" copper tubing. (and some wheat from my field)

Molberg · 07-22-2014, 11:40 PM
