Got some plumbing done over the weekend. I'll get most of the front sheetmetal on next weekend, then back to wiring.

Well, that answers that...
I guess you have plenty of clearance... My 19.5s on my crew do not have that kind of clearance |

Finished up the polishing and Cerakoting of the rear American Rebel Sprint rear wheels with street tire combo. The fronts are not far behind.

What happened to the aluminum slots?

Did a little restoration to the headlamp buckets and they came back from powder coating yesterday, so I was able to assemble the grille for a test fit.

Sweet truck.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
I dont think I've seen a 62 Grille look that good before. Nice work. :)
|
Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! It's actually a 1963 grille. It took a lot of hammer and dolly work to get it somewhat straight. These things took a beating back in the day.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Ya I dont know why I said 62, I drink in the morning. :)
Looks great though. |

Fabricated and mocked up my little hideaway nitrous arm and purge switch panel in the ashtray.

The two least favorite parts of a hot rod build - AC hoses and brake lines - has had me procrastinating since returning from vacation a few weeks ago. Starting to map out hose routing and will be making some AC hoses here shortly.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
It's cool that you are running A/C...
No pun intended.. I dont have any creature comforts planned for my trucks like that, but starting to have second thoughts. So, what compressor setup are you running? Doesn't look factory Pontiac. |
Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! Yep, request from the wife after I decided on the ignition and fabricated the motor plate mount...ugh. The drive system ended up being way more complicated than expected. Because of the crank trigger and the front motor plate spacing in accommodating the serpentine drive, I had to fabricate all sorts of new spacers and adapters, etc. It's a Vintage Air kit.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
I have a friend who opted to go with genuine Pontiac power.
He wants A/C and we're seeking original V-belt A/C parts. My prostreet/protouring truck will be a minimalist truck having only power steering. Being from the Phoenix area, heat isn't much of an issue to me... :-) |
