I think you would be crazy to sell that car, even for a 67-72 truck. but thats my $.02

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Nice project. I am a new member, and following this thread closely. Those wheels look like Vintec's, what is the backspacing. They tuck nicely!

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

That info is in the thread.....

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Thanks, SCOTI, I missed that, appreciate the help.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

N2billet, I like your booth heater. Nothing like a trusty old Sata for painting. LOL! Just kidding. I know you didnt have that in there while you were spraying right?! Project is looking incredible. When you are ready to sell it, let me know. I am going to try to finish the 2wd Blazer this year some how some way. Keep the pics coming for motivation.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Made a little progress this weekend. I got all the brackets for the PS on for a trial fit. I got the starter back on and wired, while I was at it I went ahead and cleaned up some of the wiring now that I lost a few things. :lol:

I mocked up the intake with carb (borrowed from japoly2go) mine's out getting plated. I'm going to make a new base for the air cleaner so I can get it as low as possible.

I now have the all the trans lines and linkage hooked up. (it's real easy to take apart but a pain to put back together, at least for me)

I maded some hoses for the radiator, I now need to body work and paint those.

Got enough of the wiring done so I could get the air ride powered back up and now I can move the truck without being on skates.

I now need to get working on making the exhaust so I can get it out to be plated.

I think that's it for this weekend.... let me know what you think of it so far.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Looks great!!!

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Damn, that has to be the best looking straight six I have ever seen. That thing is looking gorgeous. Cant wait to see the finished product. What did you make your radiator hoses out of?

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Thanks for the compliments. The radiator hoses are Mandrel bent exhaust tubing that I cut and welded together.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Looking better.... progress is good. I wanted to make it by today but I pulled an all-nighter @ work & was a little beat. Maybe Monday night?

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

n2, when you say exhaust, you talkin header or exhaust pipes? Also what kind of plating, Jet Hot??

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Both, it's the same material. I order the 90 degree bends from Headers by Ed and then I just cut and weld the pieces. We also make our our headers this way.

The coating is like Jet-Hot but it's a local guy that has his own formula and it looks a lot better than Jet Hot or HPC coating. IMO

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

dang. that looks awesome. really like the paint job on the motor. keep up the good work. chris.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

nice

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

It's Lookin Real Good Bro!!! Good Job And Keep Up The Clean Work.....

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

The day job has slowed progress down on the 68 but I did get some stuff done today. I didn't take any pictures because I'm sure ya'll are getting tired of lookin at the same old crap I keep putting up. Anyway, I got the base done on the air cleaner, ran a few more wires, figured out what I need to get the p/s lines made, hooked up the drive shaft and ordered all the mandrel bends so I could make my exhaust. Once the exhaust is done and coated I should be real close to hitting the road to see what falls off :lol:

I've decided that I will make a few changes to the interior since the truck will be down for a little while waiting on the carb and exhaust coating. I'm thinking a funky retro look....... Yes Ken, I'll take some pictures as this develops :) Promise...

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

WHAT? No pics of the driveshaft install...;) Did you paint it?

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Yes, I painted it.....what have I not painted? :lol:

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

Good work, but I need pics to verify...:)

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

I liked it. Those back tires looked 'tits' all stuffed in the wells.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
 

We dont care if you show pics of the fender bolts stuffed in cardboard and painted. We love the pics, keep them coming.
