Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Well after alot of routing wires etc, we mounted the battery box and temporarily mounted a battery. I told my son that the truck would start if we installed the distributor, and spark plug wires, he looked at me with a HUGE grin!, so to prove my point, I told him we could turn it over for a second to see if i did the wiring correctly to this point :lol: Below is the outcome....





we still need to complete the wiring but we are taking our time :lol: . we should be able to start routing wires for the lights etc. soon i hope.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Been out for a few weeks, nice work Heath!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Yeah, it was awesome Geoff, I havent seen him that lit up in awhile. Hopefully this weekend we can concentrate on the truck and try to get most of the wiring completed. We had graduations etc. this past weekend that kept us from working on the truck.


Thanks Nate! :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath, you and your son have made some amazing progress. At this rate you'll have your K-10 done before mine.:lol: Keep up the good work buddy.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

nice progress. Keep at the wiring....going through the spaghetti on my blazer now correcting a key off drain the PO installed for me ;) Actually his wiring work was very nice and I hate having to undo all of the nice wound and wrapped wire to hunt down what most likely is one wrong connection somewhere...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Shannon, but you need to get your @$$ in Gear so I can ask you all the build questions when i start the K10... :metal:


Thanks Jonathan, I hate wiring, its sooo time consuming. I hope we can wrap it up soon.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath I can save you some time and tell you what not to do. :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

LOFL.... :sumo:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath, I just read through your whole build, great job (I mean it!). The sure sign of good craftsmanship is when there is a noticeable absence of cut corners. Your followers are extremely valuable in supporting you, and being anxious for your results, but I can truly appreciate your desire to take your time, do it right, not scratch the paint! It must be agony for your boy, though!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Kc,

Thanks for reading, and following along on our Father / son build, it's been a blast! My son is very anxious, but have tried to remain calm :lol: I need to wire the gauges (which i dont have yet :lol:), wire the lights, buy spark plugs and spark plug wires, install radiator, rad hoses etc. We will keep pluggin away at it.

Thanks again for you kind words, it surely helps keep us motivated.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath...I think I got a set of shorty spark plugs that I never used....if you're interested in them, I'll make ya a deal:D

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Did anyone else use them :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Just droppin by to check out the thread. I have really fallen behind but you're cruzin right along! Still would like to make the drive up there and do a local cruise and drink a cold one while lookin at the trucks!!! If you are down this way you'll have to do the same!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Has your son quit drooling yet? That is a big tease. :lol: Awesome progress. Can't wait to hear it running.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

David,

Looking forward to drinking a few beers and checking out your truck as well.

Thanks Alan, my son's still drooling :lol:
