love the build Lou

smashingchuck · 04-08-2008, 05:10 PM

Are the headers going to clear the firewall...? look really tight.

msgross · 04-08-2008, 07:05 PM

Nice work, welcome....

Go Army!

I can't tell any Navy jokes or i'll get kicked off! lol.... I am one of your fans as well, my wife really hates all the "muscle car" shows that fill up our TIVO though!

Super73 · 04-08-2008, 08:46 PM

Lou,

Follow this link to the Camaro.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...93#post2648693

ACE67_72CHEVY/GMC · 04-21-2008, 09:02 PM

WOW... just found this thread today...awesome to see you on here Lou... I always watch Powerblock...that new guy is pretty cool--he's painted some sweet rides...but the show isn't the same without you...o well, guess your in better buisness now... Anyhow keep on keeping on with this build...

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-22-2008, 02:52 PM

Well I started putting the body on the frame. I know what most of you guys are thinking what the hell is taking so long. It is a real pain in the ass to get your own show and web site built way more than I ever thought it would be. Any way the body is in place and it looks crazy!

I've seen the foil BEANIE!!!

That engine set back isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I didn’t have to cut out the whole firewall.

I’ll put the bed on when I get it off of the table. It will be a lot easier.

I was a little worried about the shifter. I was already thinking RAG TOP like the old V-DUBS but NO !! It fit.

tvblazer78 · 04-22-2008, 03:46 PM

Looking good man!!! Love the headers..

bw4sale · 04-22-2008, 04:20 PM

This truck is going to be sick! I love it. Keep it up.

aggie91 · 04-22-2008, 06:48 PM

I just found this thread, Great to have you here Lou. Have been a big fan, I noticed that you had not been on the show lately...

I can't weight to see this thing together and on the ground..

IvelDesigns · 04-22-2008, 07:00 PM

and look... the shifter is the perfect height.

i know this is a bit far off, but what's the paint plan / theme? flat black with pin striping and baby moon hub caps?

Before I trimmed it, my shifter rubbed the roof... now it's a more reasonable height

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-23-2008, 01:32 PM

Here are a couple more pictures of the truck and one of me doing what I do.

**Captkaos** · 04-23-2008, 07:08 PM

Sweet Lou! whatcha measuring the front wheel opening for?

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-23-2008, 09:13 PM

I have to make sure that the wheel is in the center of the opening. I can't stand the wheel not in the center of the opening.

randyjohn · 04-24-2008, 03:44 AM

lou, what's that bolted to the end of your tranny. i know you said earlier it was a turbo 350 but is that one of those under/over drives on the end or am i just seeing it wrong?

LUCKIN-FOU · 04-24-2008, 06:20 AM

It's a Gear Vendors Over Under Drive. I really like them they are real easy to install.

texanidiot25 · 04-26-2008, 03:52 AM

Your own TV show? Saweet.

The truck looks freakin' excellent man!

That's the metal portion of the dash that's showing right? (never knew that if so)
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1957.jpg

What would be incredibly cool is to massage that into a nice looking full metal dash like our pre-73 trucks have.

Blue'72 · 04-26-2008, 09:30 PM

Lou, I wish my progress was this slow.. I'd be a lot farther ahead than I am now...

This is looking great, and I can't wait to see what else you have in "show" for us!!!

ShowSS12 · 04-27-2008, 06:26 PM

Sweet build Lou caint wait to see it done.

Madmandav · 04-27-2008, 07:03 PM

scott's69 · 04-28-2008, 04:55 PM
