Ok. It's time to get this thing done, and out of the shop. I'm tired of walking around it. I put the motor in a few years ago. It was a brand new crate motor from Chevy. We cleaned it up, and re-shot the block & heads. The last time I painted the Edelbrock intake orange, but this time I sand blasted it, and gave it a light coat of aluminum paint to help protect it.
The steering column was swapped a long time ago for one out of a buddies wrecked '69 Cutlass. It had seen better days. The turn signal thingy was broken, the starter switch worked most of the time, and the horn button was DOA. I took another column I had, and gutted it for the electrical. Sand blasted the 'original' column, and painted it to match the truck. Now I just have to get a steering wheel. I'm thinking of one of those old style chrome 3 spokes with a metalflake white grip. Just to add a little bling to it, I made a new turn signal lever. The old one was rusted, and ugly, so... cut the end of a Titanium NASCAR valve off, turned it down a bit, and stuck it into a carbon fiber arrow shaft. Cut that off, and stuck it over the original lever. Bet I got the only Titanium / Carbon Fiber turn signal lever out there
Rebuilt the Holley Carb that was on it (650 vac secondary). So last night I set it up on the bench, and hooked up an electric fuel pump to it. Good thing I did. The inlet needle on the primary side didn't want to seal. Swapped it out, and set the float levels. Tonight when I get home (if there isn't a puddle of gas under it) I will be putting it back in place.
