Hey, i have your problem. I have a 454 in my 71 and the bottom hose kinks also.. As long as its not cutting off more then 50% of the water your fine... Mines not kinked to bad, but just annoying.

tdave00 · 12-29-2008, 02:39 PM

Very nice truck. Can't believe I missed this build. Keep it up.

NWD02 · 12-29-2008, 11:46 PM

Thanks.... Josh was that talking about last weekend or this coming... haha. Nah, I'm not doing anything else until I get the hood on and the truck back to the body shop for wet sanding.

Richard8971 · 12-29-2008, 11:53 PM

Dude, the truck is looking sweet. Can't wait to see some more progress pics.

AGRV8D · 12-31-2008, 09:36 AM

NWD02 · 01-02-2009, 10:33 PM

I finally loaded the truck up to take back to the body shop. They are going to line everything up and wetsand it.

my67chevytruck · 01-02-2009, 11:35 PM

looking good bro.

NWD02 · 01-03-2009, 11:08 AM

Thanks... it's been fun but a lot of work.

Old Goat · 01-09-2009, 07:14 AM

Hey NWD02,
Got any new pictures?

DrtyJack75 · 01-10-2009, 12:09 AM

man this makes me feel like a loser..when I bought my truck just over a year ago it was in WAY better shape than yours and you've passed me up by miles.....GREAT JOB!!!

Dont let up, I wanna see the finished product.

NWD02 · 01-10-2009, 12:32 AM

Haha, thanks jack...it's been really hard getting to work on it. I've been working like crazy lately. I should be posting more pictures soon.

NWD02 · 01-15-2009, 11:47 PM

Cellphone picture, sorry for poor quality. My truck sitting outside body shop waiting to get wetsanded and buffed.

NWD02 · 01-18-2009, 03:38 AM

Tonight after work I primed the tank... I'll be painting it tomorrow morning.

phipp13 · 01-19-2009, 07:41 PM

sweet build

NWD02 · 01-20-2009, 08:46 PM

I was having trouble installing the new vintage air servo controls... until I spoke to Ken Gould at
Wayment Mfg.
417 Main St. P.O.773
Filer,Id 83328

This what he's come up with thus far... not a completed product, will post pictures once completed and installed.

Old Goat · 01-24-2009, 08:09 AM

NWD02,

Please, please could we see some good pics of that blue in the daylight?

Thank you for your trouble,
Charles

NWD02 · 01-24-2009, 11:09 AM

I will as soon as it's back from the body shop. I haven't forgotten about you. The body shop isn't close either or I'd go take some.

Old Goat · 01-24-2009, 11:37 AM

Thanks Dude.
After seeing your truck, I am really thinking to paint my GTO that color!
Can't seem to find a good picture of it anywhere in the WWW. Got a bunch, but they are all Corvette's and the body lines on them give you a false impression of what it will look like on a flatter panel such as what your Truck and my GTO have.

Nick, Thanks very much for the spare parts. They were in much better shape than I was expecting. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask. Once I get the burban legal I will bring it by so I can see your truck in person. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress. Harlan

NWD02 · 02-01-2009, 01:06 AM

Thanks Harlan... it's been really cool meeting so many nice board members. I have other people to talk trucks with, because my wife sure is tired of hearing it... haha.

1956cameo · 02-02-2009, 12:20 PM

I know exactly what you mean!! By the way I told my wife about your wife saying the suburbans looked like hearses and she agreed. Thats fine with me; that just means that whenever I get it fixed up I won't have to worry about her saying it looks "cute".

NWD02 · 02-16-2009, 09:11 PM

Just an update... My truck went from the body shop to the painter. Everything has been lined up and they had to fix a few things with the body work (passenger door). Now it's getting a few spots fixed, wet sanded and buffed. Will post pics hopefully this Saturday of it home.
