Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I've got my list of wants already!

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Mario your back on the road. Dang wish i would have known me and like 5 other buddies went cruising 2 weekends ago all in trucks. My truck just got broken in to so some reworking to it this weekend. Give me a call man lets shoot a spin before the world ends ahahahha!

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

seen you putting the truck to use this weekend man. Looks good for sure.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Ha...saw you too at Napa. Thanks. I wanted to stop and say "Hi", but I was making a run to the landfill and my dad was waiting for me. Let's get together to BS soon!

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

The old guy was feeling kind of plain today so I took him in to the muffler shop and added some :bling:

Previously the exhaust ended up behind the bumper. In keeping with my 80's theme, I stuck with the dual angle tips. I'm very pleased.

PS, the ramps are uneven, the truck is not. :)

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

I love the exhaust!!

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

Very cool truck. That seat looks assume , do you have any pics of the frame center bracket. I dig the exhaust also.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Hey James,

Thanks for the kind words and sorry I missed your request. I hurt my back right before Christmas and haven't been in the garage since. Haven't been on here much either. I'll shoot a couple of pics today or tomorrow and get them posted up for you.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Thanks / hope your getting better.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Sorry about the delay. Still pretty much laid up for a while. Here's what I could get an angle on from my phone camera. Sorry, can't twist and get in a good position. Let me know if you need anything further.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Thanks

I had been having some fuel issues so I removed the gas tank to clean it out. I got it back in this weekend and drove it today to check the results. No improvement :waah: I'm on to carb and/or fuel pump issues.

While it's been down, I started sanding on the primer to see what was really underneath that the previous owner felt compelled to cover up. I'm bringing back the factory striping first and have yet to see any damage under it. I wonder how much of the factory saddle color is still under there. Additionally,I've finally trimmed the lip on bumper so it mates well with the rear of the bed and I leveled it out. It sat low on the driver's side before being trimmed.

Lastly is an old Nova that I spotted yesterday that I'm trying to pickup for my daughter. She turns 16 in February and it would be a great project for us to work on together. It is litterally owned by a grandma. Has a 250 six cylinder with 2 speed powerglide. Amazing shape and she already put Vintage air in it to keep her cool. Anyone have an idea what it's worth? I'm clueless on what's a fair price.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Hey the truck is looking good!! As for the Nova, it really depends on a lot of things. Do some internet searching on CL and other sites to get an idea of what they are selling for. I recently purchased a one owner 1964 Nova 2 door "post" car with 82K original miles for 4K. It was in the old lady's garage and she only drove it occasionally. It is really hard to tell with these Novas but that wagon is SWEET! I was looking at those before I found this survivor sitting in a garage right by my house. I saw CLEAN wagons go anywhere from 4K - 10K and beyond. If you get the wagon let me know, we can hit up the Nova cruises sometime:metal:

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

PM board member C/10 King (first post on this page). His wife does them and she's amazing with the attention to detail.

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

I love that generation Nova Wagon.
I still can't remember why I passed on one I looked at in 1989.
It was still the original white, with a 327.
It drove so nice and had the perfect old car smell.
He only wanted $1200.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen. I procrastinated and some other lucky person stepped up. So, the search continues and my daughter has lots of wants. LOL

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Any updates?

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Sadly, nothing at all. I drove it Tuesday to take a load to the landfill. It was the first time in well over a month.

I just finished a long list of honey-do's around the house so I'm hoping to make some more time in the near future. I have a power steering setup, headlight relay upgrade, jeep cherokee door checks, and the new tailgate hinges sitting in the garage. Just haven't had time to do anything. Additionally, I still need to finish polishing my slotted mags.

Thanks for checking in. God willing, I'll have some updates in the next month or so. Another Brother's show come and gone without me:whine:

Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread
 

Next year right!
