Project: "No time"
 

Ok, the story is I work 70hrs or so a week so I have "no time" for my projects. All the extra time I have I spend with the family, but I will make some time for this project.

I've been wanting to put a 327 in the 67 for awhile now and I finally found one locally. It's a 327 out of a 66 vette that has been rebuilt recently and will be perfect for what I want. My plans are to remove the front clip and repaint the firewall white, detail the frame and make everything look new & somewhat original "looking" under the hood and install the 327.


I also want to redo the interior in black, clean up the bed paint, get another set of wheels (20/22 combo) and do something with the suspension (Hotchkis, Porterbuilt or Ridetech). Finally I may repaint the truck!

When I first got it!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Glad to see you working on it again. Love this truck!!!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

With old wheels & buddy seats!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

How see looks now!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

It looks good with the rallys but man, it used to look amazing with the intro's!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Oh, and just think....your truck will not only have buddy buckets now but also the "rare corvette engine option" :D

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Killer truck but why did u lose the Intro's?

Re: Project: "No time"
 

:jdp: he's alive :lol: its looking good, and like the new ideas for it too bro. so did you ever get rid of project N2Deep???

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I sold the Intro wheels with my old project N2Deep!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I needed to replace that ugly crate motor & since I have all the original 327 A/C brackets etc...might as well. An the corvette motor has all the goodies (forged crank, hump heads & a performance cam). So it should be a little stronger then my 250hp crate motor. Plus I should be able to sell it for what I paid for the 327.

The buddy seats are sweet (they even fold forward) and I just picked up a set of restored black 67 seat belts. The interior will be up next, then the wheels!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

any ideas on the wheels??? :D

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I'm in.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Nice work! Love the Maro! And the garage floor.

I think I've narrowed it down to these, but I saw some SEMA pics with some new designs coming out so we will see!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

As soon as I get my rebuilt rear end back from Diff Works, I'm going get the camaro back on the road and start on the 67. I just had the new suspension setup installed & on the way home from getting a new clutch my rear end grenaded on me:devil:

Pics of the new wheels I got for it & mocked up w/o the rear end!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

awesome projects going on...both sweet looking rides. Any of those wheels would look killer.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Started to detail the engine!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

sweet

Re: Project: "No time"
 

those valve covers are awesome! nice truck! keep it up the 60 is nice as well the rims go with the flow of the car which looks nice

Re: Project: "No time"
 

The valve covers are not staying. I'll either go with the standard blank or dimpled ones (w/327 sticker) and original 67-68 aircleaner. I'm going for the "stock-ish" look!

Pics of examples:

Re: Project: "No time"
 

in that case if you want you can send me the old ones :D

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Good looking truck and camaro.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Glad to see you didn't sell this one... :D (Always love this truck)

Subscribed. Love the plan.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I painted, sanded & repainted the motor a few times and it looks good now. I purchased some 2 1/2" corvette style manifolds (w/o alt bracket mounts) off ebay, but will need to go with the original style as I can't figure out how to mount the alternator now. Next up is a carb & valve covers.

The rear end was suppose to be done this week, but they said they needed to send the axles out so I won't have them tell next week. And I don't want to have two cars torn apart in the garage!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

wooo hoooo ...back working on a truck !

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Guess I'll bring this one back from the dead since I just blew the rear end apart :)

I ordered a new set of wheels finally (Intro 22x8.5 f 22x12 r). I'm going to drop the rear end off to get it shortened 5" and cleaning up the rear frame now. I plan on running a 6/8" drop with my current CPP setup & swap out Hotchkis springs. I will remove front and rear fenders & notch the bed floor and run it like that for now.


Should look like the one in the pic (but with 22's rear not 24's).

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Glad to see you back.
What size tire are you running on those 22x12's?

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I think I'm going with 305/35-22 (30.4 dia 12.01 wide 4.2 sidewall). It puts me about the same as the 285/35-22 tire I ran on a 10" wide rim. I'll prob go with a 255/30-22 front with a dia of 28" (puts me 1in taller than the 255/35-20 I ran before).

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Wow! I figured this truck was long gone. Glad to see you back at it.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I sold it & ended up buying it back from the guy last year. Out of all my toys, the 67 was my favorite!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

I am in on this one...

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Nice to see you got this truck back. I love the plans you have for it. Are those Intros on the White truck you posted a picture of the same ones you went with?

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Yes, this is my last old school project (I swear) & I plan I keeping this one. I'm just going to take it nice and slow on this one. I figure I will do some mods every year, keep her on the road and eventually things will come together.

The wheels are the same as the pic (but with 22's in the back). They will take about 4 weeks & Intro said will have an 8" lip in the back. These have always been my fav so I won't get tired of them!

I have everything figured out on the back except what to do with the bed. I can cut the steel bed up and run like that for now or pull it apart & install all the wood bed stuff (without the wood). If I pull the steel floor I can sell it before I cut it up, but if I put the wood setup in I will be running around with the whole back open for awhile.

Re: Project: "No time"
 

nice!

Re: Project: "No time"
 

Four weeks turned into four months on the wheels. Now just need to start putting everything back together! ��

Running 312/25-22 & 255/30-22 (not alot of options for 22x12's)
