Re: '63 GMC Project

Re: '63 GMC Project
A few small updates and a couple more show pics...
I finally got my Porterbuilt hood hinge strut upgrade installed. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would but it came out alright...  At Good Guys last weekend my driver's door window came out of its track down inside the door. After I got it home and took it apart I found this...  This is the channel that bolt to the back edge of the door on the inside. I hopped on this site and got some advice and this is how I fixed it...  Now for some more pics. This is my truck with 2 of my friends' trucks at Super Summit...  After the show at another friends house for a cookout..  We went to The Tilted Kilt for dinner last Saturday after leaving The Good Guys show...

Re: '63 GMC Project
Keep an eye out for footage from the next season of "Fat and Furious" shot from a camera mounted to my truck. You may even see my truck in the background or in some drone shots. They were filming an episode about a 63 Impala at a car show we went to.
  We seen these 2 really nice Chevys at a restaurant on the way home from the show and there just happened to be a free spot next to them.  I took a few shots before stuffing it back away for the night.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I know this is a bit old but is the width of the chevelle reared narrower than that of a 12 bolt? Trying to get some wheels ordered but having a hard time measuring backspace without a bed to see what'll clear

Re: '63 GMC Project
Dang, it's been a long time since I've been on here!
There's just a few minor changes to the 63. I put the trim rings on my wheels and just finished installing a Street Demon 750 carb ( still needs a test drive and some minor tuning I think ). I've just been doing small things that I've been putting off for a very long time. Big changes in life though; met a girl, got a french bulldog, got engaged and had a baby ( yes in that order ).I will try to post more pics later on.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Glad to see you're back and congrats on everything! I disappeared on here for a few years myself. During that time I married and we have one in the oven. Nice to see a lot of the same people still hanging around.
Truck is killer, as always. I like the trim rings.
