The boy who cried "I sold my truck"...Along with the others, you got me.

**67cheby** · 05-04-2011, 09:19 AM

man that looks great underneath

chevytruckluver · 05-04-2011, 07:12 PM

I have missed a week or so....glad you didnt sell. Sometimes you just need a little help and the best part is it will be ready to go (at least up and down) when you get it back

chevytruckluver · 05-15-2011, 10:43 AM

any updates?

1970 CST STEP · 05-15-2011, 11:06 PM

It really brighten up the garage and it looks cleaner. I want to finish the walls and paint them and may even epoxy the floor.

Its good to know that Lemon Drop will have a nice clean place to come home to, I bet it is a strange feeling opening the garage and seeing a big empty space?

I tried the same joke on my wife and she got upset with me. As much as she would like to park in the garage, she know how much effort I put into the truck and she too wants to see it complete.

I should have some updates in a couple of weeks.

Once again I’m sorry if my joke was in poor taste.

Your lucky I almost stopped by the station to kick your Arss!! Glad you are making forward progress.

Now that your rafters are clean please keep the big boxes out of them!

just checking for an update, any news from Sonoma?

jugernot · 05-29-2011, 12:08 AM

There is a little left to be done on the wiring. They are going to soak the engine internals with some oil (because it has been sitting semi dry for so long) and then tune and start the motor.

I went up to the shop last tuesday and drop off a few parts, including the drive shaft. Nothing really visual looks different with the truck except the fuse box is in its proper place, head lights installed and the new valve covers are on.

I'm getting anxious about getting it back, because I want to hear the motor with that noisie gear drive.

**67cheby** · 05-30-2011, 08:51 PM

beautiful work

jugernot · 06-06-2011, 02:57 PM

I went to Somona County Hot Rods today, drop off some parts and got a surprise that put a smile on my face.

My ears are still ringing and I have a big smile on my face. I finally got to hear the motor that I originally built for a 67 Camaro 15 years. It purred like a Tiger, a loud tiger. Jeff is sending Lemon Drop to the muffler shop for a pair a Magnaflows and then sand, polish and fixed some oops spots in the paint. I should be able to drive it home.

VA72C10 · 06-06-2011, 02:59 PM

congratulations!!!

jugernot · 06-06-2011, 03:00 PM

I hope this works I tried uploading a video of the engine running.

There is the link

That engine compartment is so clean! Where did you relocate the fuse box?

Kevin put it into the kick panel vent pocket on the drivers side

**67cheby** · 06-06-2011, 03:31 PM

nice...thats where i was thinking about putting my wiring...how visible is it ?? did you make a cover for it ?

it was originally suppose to be totally recessed into the pocket, but due to the two large flasher fuses I had to make a bracket that fit into the vent opening and bring the fuse panel out.

My next project for the truck will be to make some door panels from ABS and Fiberglass. I think I will try to make some kick panels and cover for the fuse block. I was cutting up some card board and came up with one possibility for the doors

**67cheby** · 06-06-2011, 03:47 PM

looks nice....you made me laugh earlier ...i thought i was the only one that had an 11 year old motor that had never been started !!

I learned that leaving it that long could be catastrophic without oiling it and keeping the parts moving. Luckily I had done that a little. There was a little rust in the motor that had the mechanic worried, but it all worked out. I cant want to drive it.

You have a really nice build yourself.

**67cheby** · 06-06-2011, 04:43 PM

thanks...what did you do to oil it ??

I think I did WD40 but I've heard thats not good. So maybe open the pan and make sure everything has a good amount of assembly lube. I remember someone saying something about coating the cylinder walls with something as well.
