Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build
That's great progress! I know exactly how you feel about simply not affording it. I'm actually trying to sell my 350/700R4 combo to get air management/suspension parts.
I'll worry about the vortec motor later. Keep up the good work! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build
I know pictures can be decieving especialy from 15 feet but it looks like it was a nice truck to begin with.
I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done. Porterbuilt parts are expensive to say the least so don't feel too bad about skimping on your air management system because you damn near have to be rich to go first class on everything. |

Easy, I just drilled some new holes, then welded some small square plate to run the bolts through to give them some more support.

Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build
I got my porterbuilt gas hood hinges in the mail today! Took me a few hours but they are on. Tommorow im going to set the hood down and get all my gaps were I want them, and then weld the brackets to the hood. And I put a nice big scratch in my firewall :)

Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build

Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build
Dayum! You've pretty much nailed it on the big stuff- nice job thus far! You got a color lined up yet?

Re: 67 SWB Poor kid build
Semi gloss black, I really want a color called moonrock metallic its a honda s2000 color. But i cant swing the cost of the paint, this truck has killed the bank account and forced me to live with my parents longer then expected lol.
