nothing for the last 2 months Indiana winters suck

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.

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.

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

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

Thanks Rex...I see your coming right along.
Doing alot of progress, real fast.

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?

A co-worker told me about a 'new' wrecking yard near work. He thought there were some older trucks there, and I should check it out.
Yesterday, after work, I dropped by. Sure enough, there were a bunch of older American classics, all being prepped to be weighed and scrapped. Oh, the horror!
Anyway, I talk to the owner and mention my need for a new hood. Any good ones around? He shows me a rusty '63 Fleetside with a good '65 front clip. I look at the hood, examining the rear brace area for good steel. Yippee! I said this looks really good. How much for the hood? Front clip is $100.00, hood is $100.00, piece or all, $100.00, I want that out of here!!!!! He had moved it from one yard in town to a smaller yard in a smaller town and then brought it back up to be nearer the scrapper.

So, now my truck is yellow with a green hood. But it closes tight. I mean it doesn't feel wonky or anything. My wife even says it's prettier. That's a big complement from her, considering she's hated the yellow from the day we saw it back in 2005.

I wonder what the neighbors across the street think now? I don't think I will ask them.
