MAN!!! That $hit is Sig-Worthy right there. I'm in on this, as I too have a 68 LWB:metal:

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

I'm in for this too, can't wait to see what you guys do to it.

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

It's going I be cool and clean

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

I can guarantee one thing that this will be fun.... we'll get the ball rolling here shortly. We have to lay down the plan then hit it hard....

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Im in. Love me a full figure sexy long bed.

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Another '68 long bed her. Glad I finally get to come into a Superfly build from the start.

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

I'm ready! Should be an interesting show!! :flagw:

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

let the games begin. looking forward to this.:metal:

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

cool n clean you say, guess I will have to pay attention

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

I just placed my order with classictruckseats.com for one super cool hounds tooth gold and blk. seat cover for Goldfinger. If you're looking for a great quality seat cover for your custom or restoration you need to check out Tim at classictruckseats.com tell him I sent you for a killer deal... thanks again Tim...

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

I'm in for this one...

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

So are you runnin dropmembers on this thing?

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Come on Man! You can't beat this sweet seat cover... I can't wait for it to arrive. Goldfinger is going to look legit from the floor to the doors... I like the idea of a completely fresh interior. no details spared. It is originally equipped with a rubber mat. I'm not sure if I want to use the mat or rock the new carpet. remember we're building a complete driver. I tell you what a hounds tooth headliner would be sick.... I might have to talk to Tim about that request. the door panels will stay the same just freshened up. new dash pad and arm rest of course.
To answer the question of the drop member, we do not plan on using a drop member only because it would defeat the purpose that we set out to do. Like I said before both Eric ,and I want to build a truck that can be built on a realistic budget. Don't get me wrong those drop members are bad a$$ . Maybe on our next build... Right now we're collecting all the parts. The list of upgrades to Goldfinger will transform it into quite the driver. Power Steering, Power Disc brakes, convert the 3 on the tree to a th400 Automatic, Sweet little sound system. Sorry no CB on this rig.... last but not least , a static drop 5/7

Do you know the tire size in the picture? Thanks

Good luck with the build

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

The next truck we build will be porterbuilt short bed

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Here ya go , some fresh pictures of what we're starting out with.....

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Killer truck guys! I like the "everyman" kind of build idea too. Thats what the plan was with the Ghost. 5.5, 7 drop is a perfect set up for a daily driver and converting to Auto trans is a great move. Im watching!

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

congrats dude!! sweet find that is a super clean truck, let the fun begin

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Love it long and low. Watching this.

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

this one got caught up in the Ca. time warp ....ill take the hook

Re: Goldfinger nachos big brother

Nice solid truck to start with. I've been thinking about picking up something like for this for a daily. My beater corolla I'm driving now is about to turn over 300,000 miles and it's getting pretty rough. Maybe it's time for me to hit up craigslist. You guys are a bad influence on me :uhmk:

Yeah CL is the bomb when it comes to c10 here in the Sacramento / San Francisco Bay Area. You have to look deep and find the diamonds in the ruff. Follow any and every lead..... you should see the next truck that Eric and I are about to get.... 72 Sierra Grande short fleet fully loaded. It's going to blow some minds...
