Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Mike,
Awesome Truck!!! Can I trouble you for some detailed pictures of your behind the seat speaker enclosure? I've seen some of the early post's of youre's where you were fabbing it up, but I'd like to see how you fit the corner pieces that wrap around to the door jamb area, as well as some of the finished product.... Thanks! Ben Smith:metal::metal::metal: |

Mike, I don't think I could ever get enough of this one in pictures. Everytime you have been to GG's in Ft. Worth, I have not been able to attend. You think you might take it this year in March or October?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Well i think it is about time to get this truck updated a little......so if you are interested stay tuned and we will see what happens!
Thinking new wheels, interior and possibly an enginge update maybe taking off the bed rack for a while....who knows where this will end up sometimes i get carried away once i start! LOL |
Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Mike, I'll tag along, truck is super already, but love seeing your work...Jim

You finished this truck before I joined, so I'm excited to tag along on it's refresh to see where it goes.
I was reading some of the last few posts and saw that you mentioned possibly making full coverage tubs. I was always curious why you didn't make full coverage ones to begin with and how well your current tubs protect from flinging stuff up into the engine bay while driving. I'll eventually need some custom tubs but would prefer the full coverage style because I drive my truck quite a bit in all weather conditions. |

THese keep everything out of the engine compartment you can drive them in pouring rain and your engine will be dry just like they are and they let you expose the expensive tubular control arms and other suspension upgrades. |

While I get the benefits of LS swapping our trucks (my '65 is LS powered), I would not swap this one just yet. I would do some simple things like new wheels/tires and maybe an interior update. The set up you have for the engine looks outstanding and is already EFI. Just keep it simple!

Hey Mike, I know the feeling on the getting bored once done thing. you built a gorgeous truck. ONe to be very proud of. It is perfect the way it is and I wouldnt change anything, But comingfrom someone that knows the boredom and the fact that people like us are never happy with a finished project because in our eyes it is never truly done, yet to everyone else it is. I think changine the truck to gain more attention is not the way to look at it. But more of a self satisfaction thing. This truck you will never get rid of nor sell. Same as Havoc. this is the reason I havenever finished Havoc because I can not figure out how I want to do it. But there comes a time where we have to realize when enough is enough and just call them done. As for the LS hing, I am all for it. I still understand your interior change as the truck never got done how you wanted it on the inside. So I morethan support you of the changes. Rob Daily dimes engine and stuff it in this thing. It deserves it. truly does. You have had some great engines and now is the time to use it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I just remembered that was Bertha with the interior problems. oops

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I am back on board watching what you do with her... sad to see her come apart but interested in the direction you take her...
