If your going to take your glass out and take it to a shop. Make a set of traceing for the rest of the people here. Some mite need some patterns. Just an idea.

[smallblockjunkie]

I will do that when I get the glass installed

color sanded and buffed the door yesterday

The 'camera' colors are confusing. I like the blue not sure about the purple. Is the blue the true color? You, like others, do great work and like others, I am looking forward to the final product.

[smallblockjunkie]

the purple is the true color the blue is the pearl

Big rubber lip goes to the inside.

[smallblockjunkie]

thanks for the picture

[smallblockjunkie]

got the wood cut and the stainless strips cut.

Interesting that the edge trim is placed at an angle. How much rise in the center crossover? Estimated time of completion for the truck? Looks really good so far!

[smallblockjunkie]

the tub section is 4" in the front and 6" in the back. I am hoping about this time next year. The 45 degree in the stainless wasn't easy to cut but I got it done.

[smallblockjunkie]

the hp is 550 with 510 lbs foot of tourqe. It is a LS1 stroked to 383 cu in A mild build for an LS1

[smallblockjunkie]

getting ready to fire up the LS1. A couple more hoses for the heater and put gas in it and make some noise maybe when the truck fires I will fire up the 68 camaro and see which is louder. Got my brackets made for my paper covered glide int.Most of the dash is complete just missing a speaker. not to long now before burning up the streets.

That looks great.

Once you get the front end back on, you should try to find a way to get the air filter away from the backside of the radiator. You'll pick up some free power by picking up a colder air source.

I doubt you'll need more power though.

That's a butiful color. Put more pics up. That's going to be a show truck for shure. And with a LS1 it should run like a spriped a-- ape.

[smallblockjunkie]

Not good pictures but the vintage air system is in and wired.

[smallblockjunkie]

I put a battery in yesterday and checked the electrical system out. All the guages work the air and heat work, Raido is good and the LS1 turns over not started yet. Waiting to get the fuel rails back from the chromer.Then it will be time to make noise

[Dan Babb]

Can you post some pictures of how you installed the brake pedal and provide some part numbers/details?

Brakes are coming up on my project and I still have no idea what parts to use for the pedal.

[smallblockjunkie]

getting the nose all put together. OH the LS1 runs.

[48Dodger]
