Get rid of the F@rd and build the Chevy. This is a Chevy site!! J\k

Just do whatever feels right, if nothing does then wait til something "pops", and it will. Then you'll know what to do. That doesn't make any sense does it?

**Palf70Step** · 10-31-2007, 05:14 PM

Leave the F1 or the 67 with me. Not a problem. I'm always willing to help a board member

lyrikz · 11-03-2007, 10:53 AM

What is the brand/name of this riim and where do you get em???

Spray-Bomb · 11-03-2007, 11:00 AM

Spray-Bomb · 11-03-2007, 11:02 AM

I know right

*Retro68* · 11-03-2007, 11:44 AM

Your enthusiasm brings back memories to when I was 19. Of course that was 28 years ago. Thanks for jogging my memories and good luck with your building project. Good things can happen if you have a plan and stay focused.

BB72CHEVKT · 11-04-2007, 11:36 AM

You can always get another 67-72 but will you ever score another 69 Z28. Probably not. I would sell the truck to finance the Z.

BACKYARD88 · 11-04-2007, 11:43 AM

I would sell the Z to finance the truck, and another Camaro that isn't a Z, and let someone else worry with all of that original stuff. I'm not into original, I like big wheels and HUGE motors so it wouldn't be worth it for me to trash a rare care like that

OLDIRON69 · 11-04-2007, 12:09 PM

Store it in the shop, it is better than a CD or IRA account. It is worth an a$$ load the way it sits!

Spray-Bomb · 11-04-2007, 08:22 PM

I don't think Ima sell my truck, I kinda consider it my "first" truck beings how it's the first one I ever got on the road & drove
Plus it's won me an award & I intend to get some more with it !!!

I think Ima have to bad @sses: my black truck for whenever I feel like & my Z for special occasions

Spray-Bomb · 11-08-2007, 09:29 PM

Well guys, hope is on the rise !

I'm gonna put my truck back on the road soon !!!

Plans include: put the bags in the back & do a small notch (temporary), Tune the engine up really good, install a shift kit, & get the front end aligned

I think this will be ride height for a while, till I get more time & money (if I can get it aligned, so I'm not wearing out tires really fast)

Spray-Bomb · 11-08-2007, 09:30 PM

Also have to get some shorter headers & tuck my exhaust up higher

BACKYARD88 · 11-09-2007, 08:31 AM

Spray-Bomb · 11-09-2007, 08:37 AM

I know right

It'll still be a little bit before I get to it, but shouldn't be all that long either... lol

Spray-Bomb · 12-01-2007, 12:34 AM

So here is tha plan

Beings how I how low funds until I sell something, I have decided to wait on the headers & buy drop spindles instead

I will put my ram horns on to tuck the exhaust up, till I get the money for headers

It will still be a little while before it's back on the road, but I have been working on it some here lately

Today I put the black cowl back on & painted to leaf guards black while I had them off (looks so much better)

Also played with some wheel / wheel color Ideas

I need to change out the carb & get it running right again
Then put drop spindles on it & get the front aligned !!!
After that, get the bags, tank, compressor, & valves on it

Shouldn't take me too long, if I can just keep a steady pace on it !!!

When I get the engine running right again, Ima put some crappy old tires on the back & do a burnout vid !!!!

Spray-Bomb · 12-01-2007, 12:40 AM

Here are a few pics I took, I'll try & get some better ones soon lol

Also painted one of the headlight trims black & it looks much better (no pic, sorry)

a1953mdl · 12-01-2007, 04:08 AM

Really good to see some progress on it. That last picture doesn't do it justice, tho.
Maybe finish painting it all Blitz Black would help.
Like the look of the wheels, just wouldn't want that wide of wheels on the front.
Keep on and you'll get there.
Dad

Spray-Bomb · 12-01-2007, 11:28 AM

Thanks pop
I'm not sure on the wheels either

I don't wanna put blitz on it cuz it's a "soft" paint & I don't wanna have to strip it all off to paint it shiny black (when I do)
So I think that when I fix a section, I'll put sealer primer on it & then take it all apart when it comes time to paint it

a1953mdl · 12-02-2007, 12:42 PM

Maybe DP40 in black will work. Need to know if it is weather resistant. Hate to have that perfect sheet metal rust thru the primer

.

Spray-Bomb · 12-02-2007, 12:48 PM

Wow pops, you're getting better... you actually used emoticons !!!

cory321 · 12-04-2007, 09:19 PM

Spraybomb,
Could you possibly get me a picture of your exhaust pipe from the header back.Also how far back from the header is the muffler.I am trying to do an exhaust similar to yours.
Thanks Cory

Spray-Bomb · 12-04-2007, 09:43 PM

Here are a few. lemme know if you need more

cory321 · 12-05-2007, 07:10 PM

Thats what i needed.
Thanks
Cory

Spray-Bomb · 12-22-2007, 02:22 PM

So I have this bad habit of thinking bout what stuff "could" look like... lol

And today I dug out some cab lights for a 88-98 1-ton & sat them on my truck... bad I dea

Now I want to make a dually out of it !!!!
