Nice work! Let's hear about some of your plans for this build! After seeing the colors I'm interested....and subscribed!

[67-C10]

well i think i'm leaning with silver base coat with pagan gold over it. got my extra rotor i've been waiting on now just have to paint that up with the vht paint and bake them and i can have the frame rolling. Picking up a late 80's early 90's 1500 chevy fgor the axle and brake booster and engine brackets and sterring box. Should get that soon just damn snow keeps screwing up everything. We got 7" of ice on some of the lakes around here and we usually only get about 5 and thats only for a fw weeks at the end of february. it's damn cold.

[67-C10]

Got my rotors painted and calipers touched up now i got to bake em in the oven, hopefully they dont smell.
Total Hours: 62.

**There in the oven now and well kindda stinking up the kitchen and i'm getting bi@#%ed out by my mother but don't think the smell is gonna stay in the oven, i hope. lol.

[67-C10]

Picked up a load of pallets last weekend and spent the rest of the day cutting them up for firewood. Got the rotors all nice and finished and cleaned up the turbo 400 and painted t as well as the pan.

[Slick67]

The paint looks great! That hammered look sets of the pan just right and the textured paint on the trans is cool, just bought a can to spray my a/c box.

[67-C10]

yeah the paint came out pretty good. the tranny was supposed to be rebuilt so i just cleaned it up and hit it with some paint. I didn't want to put a new pan on it if it didn't end up being good so just gonna throw a front seal and filter in it and see what happens.

[67-C10]

Motor and tranny in now wahoo. mount. Only issue is not sure if i'm suppose to run a spacer uner the ranny to tranny mount. Ther was a piece about 3/8 tick that was there with the stock rubber mount but not sure with the poly Painted some stuff. Need to change the intake today and work on how to fit the fuel cell.
Total Hours: 70 hours.

Nicely coming along, lets see some pics of the colors and the tahoe. Glad too see that you are still making progress. Later

[67-C10]

Put the drop spindles back on today and picked up the 88 parts truck for my rear end $50 haha. These are two colors on cars i saw at the dragway i saw that i really liked too.

[67-C10]

Here a few pics of the Yukon and the kart. Truck at the beach in the snow and blown engine when i got it.

[threeonthetree]

i wish i was at that beach right now!
haha
Great looking project.
looks like shes coming along. I like how your adding up the hours, i wish i hould have done that.
do you have much body work ahead of you?

[67-C10]

luckily i dont have alot of body work to do. mainly small issues at the seams

[67-C10]

not much more accomplished. actually in calculus 3 right now. lol. this is gonna put a dent in progress missing work for school this semester.

[67-C10]

Packed the bearings tonight and hung the rotors and calipers. As a side note for myself, what is the tourque spec for the spindle nut?
Total Hours: 76.

[67-C10]

retourqued the rotors. all the shocks are bolted in, spacer is in under the tranny so motor is sitting at 3.5 degrees, spent some time gasket matching the intake too. Also did a little fiberglass repair on the ac duct box. get the tourque wrench this weekend and the motor will be buttoned up, just have to find a 750 holley at the swap meet in april and should run minus distributor.
total hours: 84 hours

[67-C10]

and this is what i'm working on tonight and working on and on.

[Slick67]

Ummmm, think I would stick with building trucks.....

[67-C10]

truck still getting worked on but just saturdays for now. i just got to get through these last 2 classes and have my associates and done for now. hopefully this weekend i'm pulling the rearend out and swapping them over. maybe even get the cab on.

[67-C10]

Intake is bolted on and finished fixing and painting the ac boxes. Tranny linkage is all on and put the gas tank under the bed for measurements. Not sure how this is gonna be with ground clearance. right now with just the motor no cab or bed i got 8" to the back of the sump area. We'll see. Oh and the new Wurth calendar came in alrighty.

[67-C10]

more pics, gota figure out what i'm gonna run for headers.

[Slick67]

Wurth calenders rock!!!! Check out my build thread on page 16 for some ideas on the filler for the tank. You are really moving along on this project and it looks great!!! Keep going!!

[67-C10]
