Some times the cheap crap won't last long. It will cost you more in the end.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

True... I got them realy cheap from s&w. I think i paied 25 a box for them. They dont last as long but for the price at the time....sweet

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I have used some cheap stuff over the years and find myself using 3M again.

:agree:

Got a master cylinder today. So far it looks like it will work fine.

Also ground the welds down on the hood. I still need to touch up a few areas. So far I have about 3 hrs in it.

nice work on the m/c Alan....Tony should know on the WIW for the steering wheel and chrome horn ring..
a new reproduction wheel goes for around $150 to $200 I beleive. so mayby,, and I'm guessing
with the horn ring around $75 to $100???

Re: My 1965 build thread

Anybody in the area going to Super Chevy Saturday June 6 in Commerce GA?

Welded a few pinholes and ground smooth. It looks better and think it will be fine. Spent another half an hour on it tonight. Which brings the total labor up to 3.5 hrs

$350 not bad for a nights work. Looks nice. Now I'm going to go do mine. I'm thinking I have about 10hrs in mine and it looks like $hit. Another 10 and it will be fine.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Keep wishing Allan. :lol: The hood looks really good. Looks like you you didn't warp it. Nice job. :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I hear ya brother, and thanks .

Got back from the Super Chevy Show. sdailey went with me and we had a blast. We got to meet Down South Truckin and Tim Christian there. We didn't get to spend much time with Down South, but hung out quit a bit with Tim off and on through out the day. He is really a stand up guy. He might not be the cheapest, but I think his customer service is outstanding. We stopped at Year One on the way there and saw the Bandit rendition. it was roped off so I couldn't get too close.

The 409 exibition was awesome. I could have swore the left rear tire came off of the ground when he launched.

This truck was really cool

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Why doesn't that black truck have a brake booster?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I'd love to see a pic of that.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

They all look good. I like the lip on the rims too. Can't wait for the Boise car show.:metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

From looking at the pics, it appears that you have a big block infatuation.:metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I hooked up power braked on a 30 with frame mounted power booster. As long as you have the pedel room the rest is gravy

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

What kind of goodies did you find..........Probably the ones I was looking for and couldn't find :whine:



[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3346554]more pics, I'll be posting some pics of the goodies I got today later tonight.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I don't have one handy. I was hoping someone might post one. I think CPP as well as others offer the kit.

Your right. :metal:


I found these headers at Super Chevy today for a good price. They are Headman 69648 fits 88-95 chevy trucks. I thought I would try them. They are very similar to the Flowtech 31505 FLT headers I was going to try. I could sell them and get my money back if the weren't close to fitting. The right side that I was concerned that wouldn't fit didn't have any issues to speak of. Once I put the gasket in it will rub the frame on one tube.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00148.jpg

In able to make these studs work I needed to cut some more threads so I could put a nut for the headers. I also need to cut the flange off of the flange nut that is hitting the header. I also need to shorten the stud to ease installation.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00151.jpg

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00152.jpg

The side I thought would fit has some issues. I don't know if I should grind about a 1/4" off of the frame around 3 of the tubes or not. I'm thinking of making them work. What do ya'll think?

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00154.jpg

The left header has an O2 sensor bung that is blocked off.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00150.jpg

Here are some other things I picked up
1. Door inner/outer belt mouldings
2. Door wing window seals w/rivets and tool
3. Door glass run weatherstrip
4. Door wing window latches
5. Door O/S handles and lock cylinder not pictured
6. Jegs mini starter

I will be doing a how too on rebuilding the vent window assy once I figure it out.
