Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

I had an opportunity to get my wife a '67 also, but she told me if I got it she would literally kill me. You are lucky that she likes trucks. Mine only likes hotrods :lol: so I'm lucky there. I totally dig what you're doing to the engine, and the rest of the truck. I can't wait to see it done. Keep it up.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

are you going to put the emblems on the fenders

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

he already has the motor rebuilt (283) and the front clip is in the back yard not sure what all is good at the moment i think the floorboard needs some patches.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

since it was in the 60s today i went out to work on the truck some, worked on wireing getting it straightend up and soldered all the connections and heat shrinked them. Still got to run them better and get some loom to put over them. Finished hooking up all the gauge wireing too. Gonna wait to get my inner fenders in to finish up the wireing on the driver side to make sure i have enough to run it like i want it.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

oh nice a nice 67 68 steering wheel with a cst horn button would look nice but its not yours so:waah:

Re: Lime Wife's 67
