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?

: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.
