Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
I could not be any happier! Well, maybe if it was already in my garage ready to drive, I'd probably be happier.
Mike - it's looking fantastic! I'm really pleased and looking forward to trucking it back home in a few more weeks. Thanks for making this x-mas really exciting. |

I was going to tilt the cab on the the firewall and put the vertical pieces horizontal, then when that cured, lay the cab back down and put the sealer in the horizontal areas.... Would that work also???? Also, did you tape the cab off when putting the seam sealer on to keep that line so straight? |

Looking a little more like a truck in this pic. Now is when all the real fun begins and pics don't show much. Richard now is the time to let me know if you want to stay black or go back white. Had some break through so I have to do the lettering one more time.
|
Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Lookin good!
When can I come and pick it up? I'll leave ya my 72....it's orange.....Richard surely won't notice.... Hahahaha White lettering would look better IMHO. |
Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Hey Mike - man - that looks CRAZY good! Very nice. So, it'll be ready this Sunday, right :lol:
You know - I'm really think the off white (stock color) is what I want for the letters. Black is cool - but I think going white is cooler. Don't know why, but something is telling me to go back to the stock off white. If it's not too late and not too hard to do - please go with the stock white. Looks like I need to get up there quick and take her home before I end up driving home a 72! Thanks! |
Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Small update. I have been holding out on pics because I new the owner was coming in to see it and I wanted to make sure he had something fresh to look at when he got here. Anyways, I will be posting pics this weekend unless Richard beats me to it with the pics he took.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20

Just got back from OK visiting Mike at his shop. I hope these pictures d0 justice to the artwork that I saw there. Mike's meticulous attention to detail is unmatched, and I can't wait to get my 68 home and start driving. Mike - thanks for the great work and tour of your shop. Notice new front diff, LED tail lights and white lettering on the tail gate. More pics coming . . .

More pics . . new wheels, new 1 ton brake and clutch boosters, rebuilt 327 matched with the NV4500 tranny, freshly built 396 backup motor prepared for storage until the 327 gives out, and the radio and A/C controller installed. It's really getting close now.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Very nice work, those 327s can be fun if you wind them out.

Here's a couple more pics that I found in my camera - some more details . . . another view of the front diff, new factory mirrors, new door handles, new disk brakes on the front, and the nice restoration/cleanup on the factory A/C controls.
