let me tell you what Babyblue was referring to my painter bodyman calls my truck NOS (but his deff is NOT ORIGINAL SH#@$) he always cracks up when i tell him i want to keep something "STOCK" looking !!!....and yes June is sneaking up really quick , i was hoping i would get some tax money back to help further the build instead.....I HAD TO PAY !!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Just do it yourself, It's not that hard! If you take your time in prep work and wet-sanding it can look professional.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

i used to do all of this myself...but after 60 plus hour work weeks and no shop anymore makes it about impossible .....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

not sure why but I never subscribed to this build??????? I'm stoked to see it all come together.

I have been making the mistake of staring at nates web site for too long now........... how funny would it be if your old front suspension ( now on my truck) ends up going up for sale hahahahahaha! mike I dont like you right now! lol

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

oh...its a bad downward spiral that you cant stop !! LOL, my truck would have been done a year ago and i would have had $10k less in it if i hadn't seen this PORTERBUILT stuff !!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

aint that the truth

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

well here are a few little progress pictures, i decided my rattle can paint job on the motor probably wasnt up to par with the rest of the truck so i am stripping it down so we can paint it right...i have been putting this off because i dreaded trying to strip an engine block there is a lot of nooks and crannies !! oh well here is the progress so far, i need to go to auto-zone and borrow a puller for my harmonic balancer

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

It's a case of the dreaded "might as well's" :lol:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

ya...i might as well paint it maybe that will keep me from wanting to put a LS in it!!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

So are you going orange, black, or matching the truck? (or something else?)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

leaning towards silver with my black march pulley and bracket kit , did you come up with any seat belt retractor covers for me ...ol buddy ???

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

sorry, I forgot. I will check this evening for them

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

You did a great job on the heads...are you planning to pull out a rotary tool and smooth it all out too? (Might as well...)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

that would sure look killer...but...NO, it was a big enough pain to just strip it , i cant even imagine how much time it would take to smooth them out !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

i would let my worse enemy smooth a block its a LOT of work , done a motorcycle egine once ,,,, never again
