Looking good, I like the clean appearance of the single window. What are you doing for a mirror?

NWD02 · 05-25-2009, 12:56 PM

Peep mirror... not my first choice but for now that's what I'm planning on. Might change it later not sure.

AGRV8D · 07-06-2009, 06:27 PM

lookin good NWD

NWD02 · 07-06-2009, 11:50 PM

Hey Josh call me when you get a chance.

hotrod 80 · 07-07-2009, 03:48 AM

Looking good Nick . Sorry if i was out of it when you called , working long hours @night right now .

NWD02 · 07-07-2009, 04:33 AM

No problem. Feel free to give me a call though, I went to nights in March, 10p-6a.

With the help of a friend I've been making little progress with the wiring. He's been teaching me as he does the wiring.

my67chevytruck · 07-07-2009, 09:03 AM

Nick, learn all you can.... I may need the help

NWD02 · 08-07-2009, 09:52 PM

Ok, I finally got some more work done. It's no longer a single-legged chicken. I installed the posi unit I bought from a board member. It's was awesome and super easy. Thanks Raland for cleaning the unit up before I got it from you. I had never changed one out before so a good friend helped me out. Here's a few pictures of before and after.

Tomorrow I hope to finish up the wiring and install the speaker and radio. I'll post more pictures as soon as I do.

my67chevytruck · 08-07-2009, 11:07 PM

Nice progress Nick!

NWD02 · 08-09-2009, 05:54 PM

Thanks Heath. I think I just need to finish wiring, drive shaft and brake to make it drivable.

you are very close bro! nice to see such steady progress. did you ever get that tailgate band mounted?
I may want to borrow your dash control idea, as that is the vintage air controller we will be going with.....

Great progress! Is that an eaton or a gov lock?

NWD02 · 09-21-2009, 05:47 PM

Ok Heath... You've been making me look bad with all your progress. Today I actually did something. The fuel lines are completely finished. I got the rear drums installed. I installed new everything on the rear brakes, springs, pads, drums (I even painted them gloss black), wheel cylinders, etc. I also finished installing the lights. I wasn't a fan of the clear taillight lenses but, I found a good deal locally on a set for only $10 so I figured I'd see how they look with my LED tail/brake lights. THEY LOOK AWESOME!!! I haven't turned the truck over since I broke the cam in back around November of 2008. I have the wiring almost finished so I had to test the ignition today, so I turned it over again. Talk about motivation... it started right up no hesitation...WOW!!!! It sounds sooo good!!! I'll post some pictures shortly.

VA72C10 · 09-21-2009, 06:02 PM

Did you ever get the tailgate skin installed?

NWD02 · 09-21-2009, 06:44 PM

Ok, here's a few pictures I just took. I have not installed the tailgate panel yet. The tail light picture is just the tail light (not brake) and reverse light. The fuel line had to be ran on top of the frame due to my exhaust being ran inside the frame. I had ordered a vintage air kit with servo controls. MEKDAD was able to take an idea I had and make it happen with the A/C control panel. If you look behind the motor down low there are two bulkhead with braided lines connected to them. One is going to be connected to the top of the intake the other to the right side of the tranny near the dipstick. All of my wiring to the engine and starter are ran through the lines. Its a work in progress but coming together.

es67chevy · 09-28-2009, 11:05 PM

time for me to subscribe to follow the process. About to go through several of these same steps myself. truck is looking really nice. Braver than me tackling the gears!!!

my67chevytruck · 09-29-2009, 07:29 AM

Nick,

you flew past me along time ago bro! Truck is moving right along, execellent work... Since you are the wiring king now, i need to send my sons '67 to you when the time is right! Keep up the great work, and you will be driving her in no time!

NWD02 · 09-29-2009, 07:59 AM

Heck I didn't have the time nor the patience to do the wiring. I got to watch and lend a helping hand here and there but a friend of mine that works at a local Chevy dealer did the work. We were up late last night and he has a little more to do and he'll be finished. I've pretty much decided not to put the one piece windows in. I'm tired of trying to line them up. I think I'm just going to get some vents and go with the stock look.

my67chevytruck · 09-29-2009, 10:39 PM

Nick,

Sorry to hear about the windows, but i feel your pain, i am still not satisfied with the 1 piece windows in my '56 . I need to find a friend like that

hotrod 80 · 10-02-2009, 12:33 PM

Just caught up with the thread and bumping for updates and Happy Birthday .

NWD02 · 10-02-2009, 03:58 PM

Thanks.

franky69c10 · 10-02-2009, 08:19 PM

Looks good bro

nuke1 · 10-02-2009, 11:34 PM

Happy B-Day, and she looks good, lights are awesome!!!, glad you gotto hear her, and i agree on the one piece, i love them, but i have to do some serious work to make them work, argh, aftermarket junk

NWD02 · 10-03-2009, 12:16 AM

Thanks nuke. The window kit looks really good and is awesome, as long as it's installed by someone else.

NWD02 · 10-16-2009, 10:40 PM

More pictures... I set the seat in and bolted it through one of the original holes on each side. It's going to get mounted soon, when it goes to the upholstery shop to get the floor carpet, tank carpet, custom kick panel carpet covers, custom door panels made and installed.

The motor pictures are my new valve covers my wife surprised me with for my birthday. They came from pmlcovers.net, AKA Moe's Performance. I picked up the air cleaner from O'Reilly's and just set it on top for the picture. I need to do the throttle linkage before I mount it for good. Slowly getting there.

Ok... is it me or is the picture attachment function not working?
