Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I'm getting closer. The exhaust is done for now. I made my own using flowmasters and it sounds great, but I dumped it in front of the rearend for now, just to save time. I'll go back and add some tailpipes later. I got the bed, bumper and tailgate back on too, so I'm pretty much done with it from the cab back. Now I just have to assemble the front sheetmetal and finish a few details. I hope to have it driveable next week.:metal:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Thanks guys. Yes I'm getting pretty excited. While working on getting insurance for it the other day I looked at the date on the title and I actually bought it in June of '99, and took it apart not long after that, so after 10 years of saving, collecting parts, and working on this thing, it's about time!:D

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I need to know how to remain patient. You guys are incredible. I get so irritated after a while, man I just want mine drivable!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I will say one thing, this board, and the people here helped a LOT along the way with keeping me motivated, helping me find parts, and improving the quality of my work.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Wynne... that thing is gorgeous!!!

Awesome work my friend, awesome work!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

To me, YOU are one of those ^^ guys.. I appreciate your help so far and I'm sure I'll be calling on you again soon.. lol It's looking good and I better get to see it Oct. 3 in Natchitoches! So get back to work and....:burnout:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

:D Thanks guys!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

You are one of those guys. Good job. Like you said motivation. I like seeing your truck and it took ten years. That is ten years of dedication. Not everybody has alot of time and money. But your heart is in it and look at what you built that is awesome. I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. And a few burnouts(ha ha)

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

A few burnouts!?!? :bs: He better lay a stripe from Monroe to Baton Rouge and dedicate it to all of us! :metal:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Getting closer. Still have to put the bumper, grille, and inner fenders on, then a lot of cleaning, a few touch ups, and go over again to see how many bolts I forgot to tighten.:lol: I want to drive it to a show in Natchitoches, La. this saturday.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Very nice. Good luck getting it finished by Saturday.That's has to feel good after 10+ years.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Looks awesome!!!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

WOW Wynne....that is looking awesome!!!....Only 4 days left before the show....should be plenty of time to get your final touch ups complete....Go Wynne, GO!!!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Just checkin' in Wynne....no pressure here....don't look at the clock, but 3 more days!!!:D

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

;) I've made a lot of progress. For the most part it is DONE! I got to drive it tonight and it rode and drove great, but had a dead miss. That was a bummer, but it turned out to be a plug wire against the header. I still have to buff a few places, wash it, fix the horn, fix the inner door handle on the driver's door, get the front end aligned, touch up a few places...that kind of stuff. I'm going to try and get a video and some better pics of it finished. Tomorrow I want to fill the tank and test the fuel filler.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Congrats. Looking forward to more pictures and video and hopefuly seeing it in person someday.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Congratulations Wynne!!!!! I bet you are grinning from ear to ear! I know your joy, I've been driving the 85 non-stop since I got the 5.3 running and all the electronics working on Saturday.

Can't wait to see the video! :metal:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Can't wait to see it Wynne!!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I know I was excited after 2.5 years....so i can imagine you are estatic!!!....:cong: Wynne....it truly must be a sweet feeling after 10years!!!:clap:

:ennyd::five::four::wave:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm just as excited as you can imagine. Driving it is a blast, just as I thought it would be. I didn't get much done today, but I did get to fill the tank, and the fuel filler worked fantastic. Wide open gas nozzle was no problem, so that was nice. Sorry, I haven't had time to shoot the video yet. Never put one on the net before, but hopefully I can figure it out.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

What a great build thread! That is one of the most beautiful trucks I have seen in a long time. I can't wait until the day I can get one to look like that. Congratulations!!!
