OH GREAT!!!!

Now I'm a "Bromance"?? :o

What am I gonna tell my wife??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

ssshhhhhhhh!! dont say that out loud!!!!!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

a little progress that has nothing to do with my inner fenders..LOL, got a new long neck polished water pump, i will satin finish it before it goes on ...gonna make me cringe a little when i do that !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Very nice wp . that would hurt a little to remove the shine but I dig the no shine look under the hood. build it hot and paint it stock !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

LOL...thank you , i have a March pulley system all powder coated black and will be running factory style air cleaner and valve cover....for that "STOCK" look

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

satin is in :D

Unless it's chrome I don't like polished under the hood. It's never a mirror polish so it always looks dirty/scratched to me anyways...

And chrome only used sparingly...

...now billet specialties items....those look nice polished.....but are $$$$$$$$$$

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

i agree !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Build looks amazing so far man!!! I live down in the Hot Springs area - hope I get to see this thing in person some day once it's all done!!! Keep the pics a comin'!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Thanks...it has pracitcally came to a stop for the moment , concentrating on getting the front inners into production, hopefully as soon as that is handled it will generate the extra money to get this completed..my goal is by the end of the year !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Even better- paint it the color of the block! ;)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

well the block is going to end up silver so i thought it might look cool to contrast it a little with satin finished aluminum !! my March pulley set up is powdercoated black

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

what color are you going to do your alternator in?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

same silver as motor, its a 140 amp alt i smoothed up a little

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

hmmm...then i might recommend the same for the pump then. It's smooth so it'll look really good painted. And will not stick out but blend nicely and then the black/silver contrast will be nice and sharp with no other colors involved.....just my humble opinion ;)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

well here is a little progress....the fun part since my inner fenders are just "PLUGS" now we can shape them with TONS..of bondo and it doesnt matter they are just plugs for molds now !! anyway they are coming out super smooth and nice

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Nice work!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thanks i was pretty pumped when i got to the shop last night and they had been doing body work , monday night i braced that fender and last night i braced the pass side fender hopefully some more bodywork gets done today .....we will see tonight

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

looks good cant wait to see the finished product.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thank you .... i got pretty excited for the first time in a while last night ...finally looks like i am getting somewhere !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Great to see some progress and to hear you are getting excited in the project again.

I know I have lost motivation on mine quite a few times. It might be a little easier to stay focused if I didn't have five project vehicles going all at the same time. :hh:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

yes....5 is ALOT of projects to stay focused !! over the last 8 years when i get fustrated i just step back for a little bit cool off and start again later !! hopefully the inner fender production will lead to money to finish this....i guess we will see !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Hope these do provide you with the funds needed to finish up your truck. I know you've been working hard on them and deserve a break to get your truck finished!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thank you ...i hope it does too, i probably have $4000 time and money in these things..maybe it will payoff

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Nice work on the inner fender blanks. It looks like a real cool design. I think you will get some $$ back out of the deal. Nice!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thanks man
