markeb01 · 12-06-2009, 10:34 PM

That metalflake is killer. Looking forward to seeing it with the new wheel. The whole effect is wild.

FLAKE LOOKS KILLER

scotts62 · 12-06-2009, 10:46 PM

They look ok on the caddy imo but think the wires will do it more justice

ruffrida2005 · 12-06-2009, 11:02 PM

Dino I'll trade you my wires for those rims!

Rusteeze64GB · 12-07-2009, 01:26 PM

bought and installed a air filter for my I6. Added another gallon of gas to the tank and started her up and let her run for 5 minutes. Was going to mount my tranny cooler with new lines but it is raining today

*LILRED66* · 12-07-2009, 01:35 PM

OLERD66 will be back on the road againg soon. We are finishing her up to make room for a '66 Chevy K20 project we are starting. We have a list of approximately 30 items, that need to be done, to complete the project.

The grille support and front fenders noses will have the black background and white ring painted on them, before final assembly.

tony as always killer work

markeb01 · 12-07-2009, 02:51 PM

Good for you taking the extra time. It just doesn't look original or restored without the black background and white ring.

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days- deer hunting. I attached them through the holes for the rallies from the back side. I still have to do my rear ones- so I will get some pics. The holes were large enough to use an impact on the original lug nuts which I like.

jgh64pkup · 12-07-2009, 10:36 PM

ummm
i did NOTHING

Byronic · 12-07-2009, 11:06 PM

I spent the last 5 hours on this site learning.

scotts62 · 12-07-2009, 11:25 PM

Cleaned out the garage around the truck so there is room to work on it

That counts, right?

ol Curt · 12-08-2009, 03:36 PM

I resemble that remark!

198plus · 12-08-2009, 05:46 PM

Didn't do anything..........But I got some new parts today

Finally got me a new gauge cluster with Factory Tach and Factory Clock

and my power steering setup.

jbgroby · 12-08-2009, 05:48 PM

198plus · 12-08-2009, 06:31 PM

There you go.......I'm ordering a new lens cover for it and I have already sent another cluster trim off to be plated chrome......Hopefully it will turn out nice.

Byronic · 12-08-2009, 07:36 PM

That's sweet. So the tach is only for V8?

jbgroby · 12-08-2009, 07:45 PM

Whoa, thats clean and sweet.

Vernski · 12-09-2009, 01:43 AM

Not a darn thing the high today was 15* I went out to the garage for a little while. I tried to do some things, first my ears froze them my hands then I made a fast retreat to the house for some hot spiced cider. Sure wish the garage was insulated with a stove maybe next year lol. What the heck happened to Globle Warming anyway it is suppose to get down to 0* tonight, put another log on the fire and grab a jug of JD's Brrrrrrr....Vernski

You sure that's a factory tach?
Looks sweet either way! I really like the clock.

I have a set of those gauges. Some day I'll luck into a clock...probably from a Nova, and I might install it then. Without those two holes filled they look kinda bare.
