Yes. I dropped a few of the polished bolts in the strips and there was quite a difference. The strips are nice quality, they just were not as shiny as I wanted.

Here is a sneak peak at the new bullet. Still need to do some polishing on it and some other parts. I almost polished the aluminum heads but decided to paint them so I don't have to polish them all of the time. Hopefully I will have it in the truck this weekend. Not to much other stuff to show, just been cleaning and painting all of the small parts and pieces that take forever. Later Kelly.

the new bullet, nice!

I stole that from my buddy. His bullet for his 10.5 car is more than double the c.i. and made 1400 hp on the motor, should be right around 1900hp with the juice. It should run alright. After watching that I feel less worthy. But at least I can drive farther than him.

No, Had an issue with the push rods and guide plates I am hoping the parts will be here this week and it can get wrapped up. I got most of the dash assembled today. Just working on the little stuff until I can get back to the motor. Don't really have anything picture worthy.

butternut1972 · 04-22-2012, 10:30 PM

Got the motor/trans in today. I still need to finish polishing the intake and valve covers and all of the fasteners. Thanks for looking.

**67cheby** · 04-23-2012, 12:17 PM

Sweet !

butternut1972 · 04-30-2012, 02:05 PM

Worked on the core support and inners this weekend. Got everything bodyworked and in high build primer. Just need to block them on last time and then paint. Also moved the trans x-member for the 700R4, and lots of loose ends under the truck (nothing pic worthy) Here is a shot of my friends new truck and another buddies chevelle he just got.

northern 85 · 04-30-2012, 08:57 PM

That red one sits Nice

Is he a member? Specs?

Slick67 · 04-30-2012, 09:54 PM

That engine looks right at home! This is really a cool build thread, so glad you decided to take the time to do it.

And the Chevelle and truck your buddies have a freakin sweet!!!!! Maybe a couple more pics of the red short step???

Thanks slick. I will get some more pics. He lives right next door, so I might have to take it for spin when he is not around. I have forgot what it is like to drive one of these trucks.
