Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Few more. The '61 is rolling on 22 rear and 20 front. Local guy here in Sin City. Still has torsions. My T-5 (Firebird V-8) with S-10 tail shaft to move stick forward. The Hurst shifter is s-10 with a curve, still hits seat a little when in 2-4 but a nice tight shift.

I stoped by the paint store today to find a Blue. Originaly looking for a close match for the Majik Blue from House of Colors. Found and sample of the Daytona Blue that came on the 350z. The actual color out wows the internet pictures.

Weeks of stripping.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Very cool. I was just watching you open pipes video. Inspires me to get serious about adding cutouts on mine. At least I could uncork them and run around the fairgrounds at the next Goodguys event.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

My wife wants cutouts in her LeMans....
She is ebil that way :devil:

Sometimes I think she is more of a hot rodder than I am.... :smoke:

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Put the bummmmmer on. The chrome is crap around the bolts. Back to the shop with this bumper :bsf:
The gap behind the bumper is going to have to be worked on and a roll pan to hide tailgate bolts and bumper hardware.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Welcome to the board!, great looking truck, mind if I tag along?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Come on in the waters fine! The bumper makes it look lower in the back.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

just tuned in, love the wheels, and some great body work. you will love the 406 and its going to be a blast with the five speed.keep up the nice work.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Thanks. I love this motor. I had one way over kill in a 1979 Short 4x4 on 35" tires. It was built by Skull Marine I picked it up in a divorce for a song. It would pull the front tires off the ground without missing a beat. That's where the heads came from...truck burned in electrical fuel pump malfunction. This is a mild build with off the shelf Z28 parts same as the race car the engine builders use in '76 Camero. 400hp and 475lb big block numbers out the box. But up the cam to Weekend Warrior and its 500+ add NO2 and 600. Why? Its bad enough now. With this new Holley Advenger 670 it climbs the gears. You see the truck gradually raise then when I shift it gets low and back up. Before it was just the nose. Best part when I swaped out the stock 283 the sidepipes were still on. First fire in my buddies garage blew out all the packing. 9.5:1 Keith Black pistons. I called the guys... I said mild what the hell... all I got was giggles. So 383s don't compare in power or price. The alumminum housing on the T-5 is the weak point.
