New motor . It's a 70 350 flat tops ,steel crank ,Dart Heads, 292 cam . Gonna clean up the lower ivory and drive it for a while . Want to enjoy it for a while before taking body off frame for resto ! I haven't really driven it in approx. 4 years . gonna burn the tires and cruise it for now .

You can see a bunch of new pics in projects and builds under junk yard dog . Bob

Its funny you say that, but I was thinking a few weeks ago looking at your pics, that if it were mine, I repaint the lower white (maybe even with a satin finish paint to retain the patina look) and drive fool out of it. I can't wait so see it!

IAFF2407 · 06-09-2008, 11:55 PM

those are awesome. just got mine done, don't think I want to post them now

I would'nt have to do as much work on it if the retard p.o. had'nt stuck stainless rocker trim on it that was ill fitting and looked like crap . it will probably be satin white for a while . Sorry Stllookn for hyjackin this thread your seats look awesome !! Bob

I should be up there now sanding and prepping but I have been swamped at work and rained out on the weekends. I am trying to motivate myself...LOL!

Bob and 67_C_30...that is just what I did with my small block Longhorn...LOL! It is easy to do and sure gives it a little pop. I had to finish the 9.75 x 16.5 wheels and shine them to keep myself motivated. Drive one while painting the other one! It's always nice to keep one of them on the road.

Small block Longhorn weekend driver...I just painted over the rust and pulled the canopy off for the summer...LOL!

Bob 68327 · 06-10-2008, 12:12 AM

Cool !! Drive the wheels off it !!!

67_C-30 · 06-10-2008, 12:18 AM

That is one tough looking Longhorn. A 50th is definetly on my short list of "hope to have one day" trucks.

stllookn · 06-10-2008, 08:34 AM

That one is my work horse for now. The "beauty queen" is confined to the paint shop until it is finished...can't believe it is June already!!!!! Time's a wasting. Thanks for the compliments time to get back to work.

jkaylor68gmc · 06-10-2008, 08:50 AM

those are beautiful. Man I love those seats.
