Re: Parked Indefinite
Finally got off my duff and got the exhaust routed...well except for where the exit winds up. I don't really want it to point down since it blows dust everywhere, but i only have a like a 70 degree bend left to work with. Seems like the kind of thing to figure out when box is back on. Anyways, I plan to pull the pipes off tomorrow to finish welding 'em up, then hang it proper. Here's some pics of where I left it at before the lights went out and the door came down(they turned out a little dark, I'll get some better ones): Last edited by Desperado454; 02-03-2013 at 02:29 AM. |

Re: Parked Indefinite
very nice work! builds like this inspire people to get out there and modify something. the volvo penta valve covers would've get some funny looks at the local cruise night-ha ha. what blue is that?

Re: Parked Indefinite
As much as I like to sip on a stiff drink and just stare at the truck, thinking about what I want to do to it, the commissar of the shop doesn't seem to have similar interests. In light of that, I've just been focusing on trying to get this thing to a drivable state again and I'll just pick away at the details later on. Anyways, I tried to make a solo attempt at bleeding the brakes which resulted in some pedal, but I'll have to make another attempt I guess. To save a little time I decided to shelf my camaro console plan so I just hooked up the column shift linkage again. Engine-wise, it's all wired up and basically ready to start. Here's some pics:
I made up this plywood backed, aluminum skinned piece to mount the msd, wideband etc. in the passenger side footwell area. MSD mounted and wired: Column shift: Coming together: Going to be interesting at the very least...will try to get a video up in a couple days |

Re: Parked Indefinite
Here's what I have my man:
I took the rad support apart as far as it would go and sprayed it with some epoxy primer and a touch of clear added so it wouldn't dry so dull. Got er put back together, rad mounted and intercooler back in place. Couple pics: |

Re: Parked Indefinite
Awesome work! I was going to say I bet it won't be too loud. Turbos act like a muffler. So when you get pulled over and the officer wants to see your muffler, pop the hood and show him. In the first edelbrock pic, was that a HT60 sitting there? Boy, that thing sure sounds sweet. After seeing you do this, I may have to try to put one or two HX35's on my 354. Just because it looks cool, and sounds sweet. Keep at it! Oh yeah, don't be too hard on your self, the paint looks awesome!

I have a chintzy one you can see in a few pics, but I think I'll take it off and just make a plate to cover the hole. Just cause I hate to make a post without a pic, here's one of where the front is sitting so far...thinking i might have to take the grinder to the coil, but I hold off till it's all together: |

Re: Parked Indefinite
Today's plan was to get the door jambs and inner doors painted, and to achieve that goal I needed to get the ol' shop up to temp. As the old man and his girlfriend make their seemingly never ending effort to update the old rancher, it was decided that this old piece of furniture no longer had a place and was cast out. Now, I don't know if I mentioned it anywhere, but I work at an auction house and have had my fill of furniture, especially antiques. So with my need for heat and this vintage waterfall style 4 drawer dresser in my sights, it was clear what needed to be done. Felt great. And let me just say this dresser burnt hot...within an hour the shop was warm and getting within 10ft of the cornerstone airtight was tough. Anyways, got the task done so here's some pics that chronicle the latter part of my Sunday:
