Thanks for all the comments, its nice to finally have all my hard work come together into somethin i can enjoy and be proud of... although now im wondering what my next big step will be! hmmm....

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics

nice truck bro, the paint came out good

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Should I expect yours to look the same in a few weeks? lol

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

haha, yeah if everything goes as planned (which it never does)

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

Hell no It never does. This truck was supposed to be gloss white right now, with a fully finished interior, and 20s, and you see how that went. haha. But the satin paint is totally doable, And worth it.

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

I'm do my in that paint..can't beat tha price & tha pride in doing it you self..

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

thanks for the comments guys. Well, i have good news and bad news...

Good news, I recently got my exhaust redone. dual Flowmaster 40 series with single inlet/dual outlet with 2 tips run out each side. It looks mean and had a nice growl to it.

bad news.. Notice i said "HAD a nice growl"? well, it no longer growls. I slung a rod in it last wednesday. total bummer. But, owell. ill just build it stronger.

Theres a saying I heard before, Old chevys never die, they just get tougher! well, thats my plan now. make it tougher.

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

Is an LS swap in order? maybe... or Ill just build another boring small block chevy to drop in it... we shall see what the future holds.

Re: My 70 barn find build. TONS of pics
 

Motor is out of my 70, I found a great machine shop to prep another block for building. Ill post pics whenever im on my computer and not a droid. Im in the middle of nowhere in louisiana right now. Updates later..

Your truck is looking great! Sorry to hear about the engine! Find another SBC and keep it going. Then build your self a new engine so you can keep cruising the truck!
