I think you are right, and yes it is mostly stock. I actually found a nice deal on a new Holley 600 single feed and it seems to work great. Now I don't want to put any money into the motor, because I want to swap over to a Gen III LS2 ;]

thirdstreettito · 12-07-2008, 07:23 PM

Where did you get the Yenko stripes? Btw, truck looks better all the time!

For my Senior project I am gonna do a 60's bug.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-08-2008, 03:04 AM

Thanks man, I found the stripe kit on egay, they are supposed to be for a Camaro or Chevelle. Those 50's-60's bugs are pretty sweet, are you going to put in a dropped beam and make it rat rod style? I have wanted one of those for a long time.

So I noticed you had heavy duty tie rod sleeves. Where can a kid get a set at. And also are those single piston calipers or dual?

Thanks Mike

LuckyHenriksen · 12-13-2008, 04:41 AM

I got all the front end components as a kit from Performance Online. They are single piston calipers.

MrBeast · 12-14-2008, 12:02 AM

When you pull your pan, I would get a new one, often time cheap no name brand pan's aren't the right size, and hold oil like a colander.

I would go for a Moroso kick out pan.

MrBeast · 12-14-2008, 12:03 AM

And by the way, that is a pretty slick truck.

The one I built in high school was a 70 Chevy short bed, loved that thing.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-14-2008, 03:48 AM

Hey thanks man. I am actually planning a Gen III swap, so I scraped the plans to heat up the motor.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 02:34 AM

Heres my new wheels! Looking for tires now....

Rear 15x10

Front 15x6

Yeah, my plan is metallic purple paint, bags, and some 17" rallys. Oh, and tweed interior.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 03:47 PM

That sounds like a cool project

thirdstreettito · 12-15-2008, 03:49 PM

It will be, hopefully. But the guy I'm teaching with it says "Purple is for girls." I was so tempted to slap him...

MrBeast · 12-15-2008, 03:52 PM

Those wheels are going to look sharp

LuckyHenriksen · 12-16-2008, 02:28 AM

Thanks, I can't wait to find some huge tires to throw on the back. And dont worry about it, purple fits an old beetle just fine.

Gray Ghost · 12-18-2008, 09:45 AM

Nice build thread....and a very nice truck! I love 67-68's!

LuckyHenriksen · 12-18-2008, 12:23 PM

Thanks man. I hope to have some new stuff posted here soon.

crey · 12-23-2008, 07:04 PM

LuckyHenriksen · 12-23-2008, 08:05 PM

chevy_mike · 12-23-2008, 10:09 PM
