Last three months have been soooo busy for but I finally
got to swap out motors and find/rebuid the long awaited
700r trasmission. I tore open the front end and sanded, primed
and painted the engine bay and this weekend I'll do the inside cab if weather permits.

Thanks guys, but have you seen Valley 67's pix?
Man I'll tell you he really did an oustanding job on his.

Blue Beard · 01-20-2004, 11:55 PM

look at the purdy in the background too....

*dtlilly* · 01-21-2004, 12:13 AM

Looks so clean you could eat off it.

krue · 01-21-2004, 12:34 AM

Wish mine looked half that good!

**Yukon Jack** · 01-21-2004, 12:14 PM

Just decided to do my firewall the body color and then I see your firewall in black and now I'm undecided again. Sure looks great!

A.P. · 01-21-2004, 02:13 PM

Nice job.

67chevemall · 01-21-2004, 02:49 PM

Looks Great!Lots of work!

btw Can you lift the Engine with the plate bolted to your intake manafold????

mocwon · 01-21-2004, 03:27 PM

That's the only way to fly. I've done it several times. I was reluctant at first but it works great and is safe not mention easier than using chains.

67chevemall · 01-21-2004, 03:58 PM

Ya that was the first thing i saw!!
If it holds the weight it would be great!

those 4 bolt threads must be dam strong!
What kind of intake is it!

Very KOol idea man!Kudos!

outlawchevy · 01-22-2004, 08:39 PM

truck looks sweet

67dragtruck · 01-22-2004, 10:23 PM

Looks like you are working hard and doing a very nice job. The engine compartment looks great.

djracer · 01-22-2004, 10:32 PM

I have picked up big blocks with the same type plate! Granted it looks a little scary but everone I know uses a plate!

69 air cab · 01-22-2004, 10:34 PM

Cool.........that really looks nice. Did you use a high gloss on your fender wells? Man.....you're really doing a great job!!!

kickboxr3 · 02-01-2004, 04:36 AM

sorry for the delay in responding but my computer bugged out.
the manifold is an elderbrock dual plane air gap manifold and yes
the carb plate will also lift a big bock motor.
the black is ppg true black.

kickboxr3 · 02-01-2004, 04:38 AM

oops, yeah high gloss......it was on sale at the car paint store

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-01-2004, 10:53 AM

Damn that look's killer keep us posted on the progress..

69 air cab · 02-01-2004, 11:08 AM

Say Kickboxer3........did you paint the underside and firewall of your truck then set it back on the frame to do the rocker? Or did you put the cab on 5 gal buckets or something while the cab was off to do the metal work? My cab is off and I am cleaning/sanding the underside now but will need to either reinstall or prop it up somehow to do metal work.
thks

slogo · 02-01-2004, 01:58 PM

Looking good keep the pics coming

*1972C10* · 02-01-2004, 04:26 PM

I was always afraid to try to use one of them plates on an alum. intake

Has anyone stabbed motor and trans with one of them plates?
