Some new parts showed up today. Pro Yank 3400 converter https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...dJ5z96W-XL.jpg And my GSI billet door handles. These things are so nice! https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-VtGtBgF-L.jpg |
Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
I just went through your entire build. Great work and I really like your attention to detail! It looks awesome! I was really surprised how nice the GSI door handles were when I got mine. I was going to do a LS swap and twin turbos in my 40 Ford but decided to keep the 354 Hemi in it. I might put my 5.3 in a 71 Challenger later instead. Seeing your pics makes that burn need itching. Haha Keep up the great work. I can't wait to watch the vids of it snorting!

Thanks for posting the pics of the mount! Does this mean you finished up the transmission?
Those door handles are killer too! Thanks for posting them up! I wasn't familiar with GSI until now. |

https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-9fzHV3k-L.jpg The GSI handles are really well designed and machined. My stock ones were pitted and from what I hear all the repops are terrible so I dished out some coin on these but to me they are worth it. |
Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
Nice parts you have there Brandon, I really like those GSI handles. I'll have to look into them when the time comes. I plan on running the Super Slam Inner Fenders from Hills, is that what you got?

Nice handles! I'm wanting a set as well. Going to see if he'll cut them without the slot.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
Well my weekend didn't go as planned. I wanted to get my front wheel wells installed to make sure I have the room I want for the turbos and to check a few other clearances before pulling the body off to put the trans in.
The issue I have is that the Hills Rod and Custom Super Slammed wells aren't even close to fitting. The arch is off by a mile and it seems like they are twisted. Not sure if Curt has an issue with this mold but after digging around here and Instagram I found out that Kyle from Laidback Creations also had a big issue with them. I though I was going crazy when I started the install so I gave Rob (Hartrod) a call to see if I was missing something. He was good enough to answer my questions and send some pics. It was then I noticed him and most of the guys running the Hills wells are using the standards and not the Super Slammed. Currently I have an email to Hills and waiting to see what can be done. Below are some pictures of what I am talking about. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-72zjgkM-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-5qXnRm6-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-z5znB9j-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-HJLS7HQ-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-JvkC9tX-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-DPGDWc7-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-56NNF8w-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-qggz6WM-L.jpg I hope that this is something as simple as I got an old pair or earlier pair and I can get another set that fit. We will see when I hear back from Hills I guess. |
Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
Dam, that sucks Brandon! Hopefully Hills can resolve the problem for you! I'll be interested in the solution as you know I was looking to run the same inner fenders!

Re: Project Beatrix
Any updates on the super slam inner fenders?

The good news though it looks like I can pull them back where they need to be with a couple ratchet straps. Hopefully with a little heat I can take the tension off the glass and they will stay put. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-sPX8x24-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-bXpSZjS-L.jpg You can see in the pictures where the curve on the inner fender doesn't match the fender. The rear is bolted in to hold it in place and the front is out about an inch or so. This week I plan to get one in place and see what happens. I also got the transmission in the chassis and measured for a driveshaft. Only issue is I need to have the mounts lowered by what looks to be an inch to line everything up right and have the powertrain as low as possible in the chassis. Hopefully I will hear from Nate or Dave this week and get it corrected. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-Qqgpr5C-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-CSRm88Q-L.jpg Like with every project 1 step forward and 3 back :lol: |
Re: Project Beatrix
Bummer about the inner fenders. I hope you get that all lined out. Keep your head up and try to stay positive. We all had to overcome obstacles on our trucks. ;)

Re: Project Beatrix
What angle is the engine and trans sitting at? I haven't bolted in my trans crossmember yet. I've been putting it off because I have a feeling it may be a pain lol. I haven't done much research on it yet.

Re: Project Beatrix
usually anything driveline wants no more than 5* and at least 1* when it comes to the driveshaft. as far as axle and powerplant 0* is optimal.

Re: Project Beatrix
Well I got the passenger wheel well installed. Took a little bit of persuasion but not too bad and it doesn't seem to be under too much pressure.
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...CJjJCvr-XL.jpg Few ratchet straps helped line every thing out and twist it where it needed to be. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-rrX9H2K-L.jpg It sits pretty flush with the inner fender lip. Had to use longer bolts though, the factory ones are way to short to make it work with the thickness of the glass. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-hSRkCH3-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-NKB8VH2-L.jpg I still need to close out the top of the super slammed wells so it looks more stock. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-kn36vCs-L.jpg Also started shaving my firewall, installing the PB hood hinges and filling in some unwanted/need holes. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-B9GQz7z-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-7GsN3Sh-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-...-jt7b3kX-L.jpg |
