Thanks Keith, I put the call into Nate last week and pulled the trigger on the front arms! I was looking at Hazel the other nite - she is soooo my inspiration for this build! What is your thoughts on brakes???? I was all into the Wilwoods (D-52's), but with NO e-brake & a 3 -on-tree I would prefer it! Anyway - I am looking at the McGaughy's 13" and the CPP 13". I have been told the McGaughy's will work with the Boss 338's that I am going to run, but I am not sure about the CPP set up. Maybe I will put a call into CPPJEFF. I like the look of those RED calipers looking through the rims, so we'll see :) Quote:
The more I look at my calendar - I am not to sure about making the timeline to get it done for Goodguys - so don't sweat it on my end - thanks Ronnie |
Re: Project Picacho
Project looks good. I have the McGaughy's 13" Front Brake Kit on my truck and love the way it looks. I have some pictures on my build thread. Don't know how it performs yet cause my truck is currently just a frame on jackstands lol. You won't be sorry if you choose the McGaughy's kit. I know there is a guy on here with a Blazer that has the front and rear kits with the Boss wheels with no fitment issues. I'll be running Coys on mine, just waiting for them to ship.

I like the blazer you are talking about as well - thanks. |
Re: Project Picacho
Yeah you could always have the calipers powdercoated red. I just painted my calipers black with duplicolor caliper paint. I probably should have had them powdercoated but oh well.

Well I was able to get a few things done on the truck this afternoon:
In anticipation of the Porterbuilt Stage 2E set up - started working on the rear end today. That's another cool thing about Nate's stuff - you can go to his site and follow the directions before you even have the stuff - :metal: Fresh meat!;) Attachment 699133 Air Chisel makes things a lot easier! Attachment 699134 Not sure how I am going to get this thing out of here!:lol::lol: |

I also started getting the rear set up for the disc brakes - even though I haven't decide which ones I am going with - leaning towards the Mcgaughy's Big Brake kit - but will figure it out this week I guess. Either way - I tore into the 71-72 rear end - as well this afternoon too!
Attachment 699136 I will be cleaning up the training arms and putting new bushings in too. Attachment 699137 |

Re: Project Picacho
Well - you know, they're never really complete! I have a few other things I would like to do to it, but this will get me caught up for now! I really just want to get it on the road again - as I love driving this thing;)

Well it sure looks nice! I just picked up a cherry 66/289 for my wife! She's a Stang girl!
|
Re: Project Picacho
ya the one we have was a 289 car i heard those engines suck...... the 302 throws you in the seat and the seats arent comfy so it hurts!:lol:
|
Re: Project Picacho
All original Cali car - 289/Auto, with Fact AC - so the motor will be staying in it. I have actually been reading and most people love the 289? We'll see the motor needs to be rebuilt and I am trying to give Picacho all my attention!
