Well smoothing out the firewall the channel is capped off , time to remove the cab for one last time, then it will be lined up and bolted down permanently next time. Also starting to build the exhaust dynomax bullets all 3 inch pipes I want to heat Betty talking.

Had to bolt a fender on to get an idea of bew stance, I like the rake on it, perfect.

That all looks great! Still working on my firewall-too many distractions with summer and all! That stance is spot on! 3 inch should sound really sweet. Doing a cross over? Hang in there; you are getting close.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-01-2017, 04:36 PM

That looks great! I like the stance and wheel and tire set up too. More period correct-ish IMO.

**GR8-68** · 08-02-2017, 05:43 AM

Thanks guys, been a process for sure. Still a good ways to go though

I agree Deiselwrencher, I like the old school wheels still, I bought those back in 09 from a board member, I believe I gave like 300 for them plus shipping if I recall correctly.

Lookin' good Larry. It was nice to see you again this weekend, and thanks for the parts! The truck looks just as good, if not better, in person.

Thanks Corey, it was good to see Gus out and about again. The truck looks great.

**GR8-68** · 08-02-2017, 10:53 AM

Ordered the TCI transmission controller last night, figured it was enough procrastinating if I ever want to get this thing wired up

Have I mentioned how much I dread doing this wiring

Jhawk73 · 08-06-2017, 08:40 PM

Been awhile bro, last time you come by I was cutting the frame and repairing it, won't be long and I will be ready to wire it up. I should be there this week in the evenings other than Monday then Saturday I have to make a run to Knoxville. Thanks

**GR8-68** · 08-09-2017, 04:55 PM

Picked up my door handles today from the powder coater

Passenger side exhaust is all tacked together

flashed · 08-09-2017, 09:42 PM

Looking great .

**GR8-68** · 08-10-2017, 09:14 AM

Thanks John.. Had to refabricate my tranny member to work so the pipes would clear but got it done this morning before coming into work.

Oregon 1967 GMC · 08-10-2017, 03:28 PM

wow it's almost like you're giving birth to some magnificent being. Can't wait to hear and see it in it's final configuration (Before you go on from there anyway.)

67ChevyRedneck · 08-10-2017, 03:56 PM

Aren't you done yet?

My project has stalled. I've done a lot to the Mustang again, put leather seats in my Z71, and done some stuff around the house. I still have to cut down the back of of the PS bedside!
