Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Not as nice as yours! But step by step-dollar by dollar-some day-maybe. Still on jackstands in the backyard but shifting through gears and brakes are working and all the lights work even the reverse lights. More than I can ask for right now. That 307 sounds surprising with the headers and HEI. May sound even better with the performer and 600 Holley.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Thanks! Things are slow right now with the new house (and maybe finally a garage)... Runs GREAT but you know I want that 383 already---Bwahah Looking for a 67-68 front clip and steering wheel. Have a tach dash waiting too. Oh and a single wall top coming. Stay tuned.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I drove 300 miles in Ol Yeller today to pick up the single wall top. Very decent looking top. Man I need to hook up that A/C! Pics to come.
Thanks for compliments guys. This thing is just a gathering of parts to be torn down and done right someday. You know fix the rust and all. Should be a fun ride or two around the block. Then...jackstand jail.

Sad that someone got these before I got a chance at them. Snooze you loose. Oh well I guess two fantastic deals in one weekend is just too much luck.
Anyone else got a lead on a 67-68 front clip and steering wheel?

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

It was great to come see all your projects (Colgad) and I appreciate your generosity in helping me with my project. I wish I could have stayed longer but it was stinking hot man! I may have left a part or two behind but that just gives me a reason to come see you again. Your parts will go to a good use and I have always wanted a 67 front clip. Just looking for a hood now. I even got a newer looking horn button for the steering wheel! Gonna be sweet looking. Again- I cannot thank you enough!

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

I have read it on here somewhere but cannot find it now. How do I modify the 1970 radiator support to work with this grill? It's not perfect but there is no rust. I would like to keep it.

I did find the fender patch panel so I hung it up waiting for your return.
I got 5.3 in but was delayed by my daughters garage sale. I should have the Jimmy running this week.
Come by anytime.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

OK- haven't done much to this build lately as we got the new house and now I have a garage. WOOHOO! So I have to move this project to its new home... I would like to weld the axle perches up but am not sure of the drive shaft angle. I am not sure I am going to lower it any more than the axle flip so I Suppose it is time. Any recommendations?

Yes, got a older restoration one at a good price. Runs great 350 - 700r, has Factory Air. Small amount of rust but really nothing much. I will paint it in a year or so. To many other projects to work on. It's going to be an excellent driver for me.

It's been around a while, I think I saw it 3 years ago at the Nationals at the Tampa Fairgrounds or at the Turkey Rod Run.

Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Looks like a nice one! Good job. I wonder what the pinion angle is on it?
What are your plans?
