Re: project 62
 

cool man!
now you need to get that camaro done and get busy on the '62 again!
....like i have room to talk :lol:

Re: project 62
 

All I wanna know is where are ya gonna haul stuff at?:lol:

j/k Scott. It's coming together nicely.

Keep us updated on pics!!! You know Joe will bug you if you don't!:devil:

On a serious note, when you get the frame finished will the front crossmember/LCA's be on the ground aired out? Or are you going to set it up with a "safety factor" just in case? Also diggin that 9". Can't wait to see it in person next summer.

Re: project 62
 

:lol: Thanks Joe, actually about to try and start the ol camaro here in a bit, so if you hear a loud boom at your house you know what it was ;) :lol:



Thanks Tim, ya the only hauling in this one after its done will be foldup chairs :lol:
CA's are sitting on the ground now might make a oh cheeit safty for it up front but ill get to that when it gets a little closer. Ya it should be lot farther by the time you swing out next summer, now that i said that Joe will hold me to it so i had better huh :lol: :lol:

Re: project 62
 

I like what you are doing with your center counsel. That's how I'm doing my 63.

Re: project 62
 

:sumo: ;) :D

Re: project 62
 

Is that a fiberglass tilt front end I see?

Re: project 62
 

yep

sorry scott, i'm taking the liberty to answer questions for ya :exit:

Re: project 62
 

*drools
I found one of them on a site about a year or so ago and cannot find it now. What a great way to be different and get rid of a metric ton of weight. Looks good man

Re: project 62
 

yeah and not to mention get rid of those dirt and moisture trapping fenders ;)

Re: project 62
 

Thanks man! Ya im guessing but it probably took 300lbs off it, heck the stock hood weighs a ton by itself :lol:

No problem Joe ;)

Re: project 62
 

:lol: you stepped in what...?

What you dont like my bare metal fenders....:lol:
Whe i get hood mounted im going to primer it all anyway, as long as it doesnt rain too hard in the garage its ok :lol: they have been like that for a year :lol:

Re: project 62
 

Thanks! Thats cool, you have any pics?

Re: project 62
 

looking good

Re: project 62
 

Thank you.

Re: project 62
 

naw, i was talking about the stock front fenders that catch all the road debris and rot out....you don't have that problem with glass ;)

Re: project 62
 

Ha, you ain't tellin me nothing. Last winter when I re-installed my engine, one of my hinges decided to tweak and wouldn't shut. I removed them to install new ones and almost got killed by that titanic sized hood. Good times

Re: project 62
 

My bad ;)
Very true :metal:

Re: project 62
 

:haha:
Ya they are nothing to mess with when your by yourself, they will win :lol:

Re: project 62
 

nice truck.

Re: project 62
 

Great looking build, that is going to be one sweet truck when it's done.

Good luck with finishing it up!

Re: project 62
 

True story, been there done that, my dad got a great laugh too while watching.:lol:

Always seen it in your sig, and now we see the details. Looks like one heck of a project, and an awesome setup.

Re: project 62
 

Coooool man....... Goodluck with it

Re: project 62
 

Thanks guys! :chevy:

Re: project 62
 

Very nice build. Keep up the good work and pics...:metal:

Re: project 62
 

Dam. How did I miss this build thread? I've been waiting to see more of that truck. Good work man. I'd like to see you, me and the cracka with finished trucks at the same place and the same time. So what do you think, this year?

Re: project 62
 

Nice job.......you had mentioned stuff in progress on a few threads and its nice to see what you have done. The frame is a big undertaking; the stance is killer so worth the effort IMO.

Re: project 62
 

:lol:, Thanks dude! Ya that would be sweet to go cruising!! :metal:
Well after Christmas and first of year is over id like to hit it pretty hard again. Whats most time consuming is the frame and body work, other than that i have "most" everything for it, all seals, power windows, wiring harness and most engine parts already machined, i could go on but not sure what i really have for it new but the wife is getting tired of looking at it all in the computer room :lol:

You need to get with ol cracka and swing by sometime.

Re: project 62
 

Well thank you sir ;)

Re: project 62
 

She is looking good Bud! Can't wait to see her done. Keep those pictures comming! What's your plans on Inner Fender Wells?

Re: project 62
 

Thanks man! I cant wait either ;)

No inner fenders it has a tilt frontend.
You are meaning the front right.?

Re: project 62
 

by this year, I hope you are talking '09:lol:
we just started tearing the '66 down last night, hope to have it ready to cruise by spring

Re: project 62
 

:lol: Uh yes sir unless i hit a wall like with this belt it will be '10 :devil:
Thats cool what have you staring tearing down?

Re: project 62
 

pulling everything out of the cab that will un-bolt.
pulled the windshield and back glass. I'm going to pull out the dash and either fix it or replace it. Sand and paint the inside of the cab after some new pans, rockers and cab corners. plans are to pull the front clip, doors and bed. clean up the firewall and the frame, install vintage air, get the engine compartment cleaned up and painted. pull the engine and repaint and re-seal, install the 700R4, new wiring, ect, ect, ect.
kinda thinking that going this far might as well pull the cab and paint/powder coat the frame while we are at it.......i'm sure it will snow ball :lol:
oh yeah, gonna buy/build a rear gas tank also......

Re: project 62
 

Sweet!! :metal: sounds like a plan, lemme know if you need some help. I do know someone that has a paintgun ;)

And your hoping by spring or is that the do or die date? :lol:

Re: project 62
 

Yea thats what I ment. I'm hopeing to be done in spring or at least before Mr. Davidson starts calling my name again. My front windshield is being a pain in the a$$. Gonna try a differeng gasket. The rest of 08 is gona be busy. The ole ladys gona be a grandma between now and late janruary. 2 weeks of quality time with the 65 for big daddy.:lol::metal: So how bout the cracka and I come buy after Christmas?

Re: project 62
 

You just said a mouth full.

Re: project 62
 

:lol:
yeah looking at it in type......now I'm scared :)
now, here comes some famous last words.....
It will be on the road again in the spring/summer...then the body work will start!!

um Scott, where did you think I was gonna paint the interior of the cab :lol:
maybe you didn't get the memo ;)

oh and Jason, we need to get some digital pictures of our rig on here! ;)
i'm down for whatever, whenever :thumbs:
