Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
And now heres my truck, since im rebuilding her again i swapped in an L79 327 from a 67 nova with the origional chrome dual snorkle and chrome valve covers. i got a new frame from georgia, and a perfect origional cab that a friend brought up from mexico for me. my box didnt get hurt and basically everything else will be the same, same tranny, rear, interior... etc.. and obviously new fenders and hood. but here are some pictures. the first is when i first got her, the second was when i fixed it the first time, then the wreck, then the rebuild again.

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
and heres some more of the new frame, L79 engine and the underneath of the cab. As of today (new years 2010) the truck looks like the picture of the cab and engine on the frame, and the underneath pic was taken today as well theres also a pic with my moms orange 68 nova, my dads black 68 camaro and my dads blue 1971 truck in the backround. As you can see, i like my Nova hot-rodded and my truck as original as possible. there will be NO ridiculous big wheels and drop kits for this baby! Enjoy! and Nice to meet all of you! and also happy new years!

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
He says what happened in his 1st post.
That's quite a collection you and your pops have. Your nova looks great and the truck will look great again!

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
Do you have any more pictures that have the engine and exhuast? I'm thinking about putting some 2.5" center dump corvette manifolds like those on my truck but some people say that they won't clear the engine mount

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
Welcome from a fellow New Yorker (western). You have acquired great skills at an early age and you and your Dad have turned out some outstanding Chevys. Looks like Remsen is in the edges of the Adirondacks, one of the most beautiful areas in the State. I make it a point to ride the motorcycle through those mountains every summer. Happy New Year.

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
Very nice stuff! I like the fact of pretty stock looking. Never been a fan of the big wheels. Welcome from -8 degrees minnesota.

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
You have some really nice vehicles - Happy New Year and welcome to the boards from the California Coast. Thank God you were not hurt in that accident. You were definitely being watched over.

Re: Ill introduce myself and my vehicles
hey chevroletman223
i too congratulate you on your fine fleet of classic rides. equally impressive is the stable (aka garage) you keep them in. i want something just like that at my place (i have the land but not the funds) to put my 72 burb and other future projects in rather than sit out in the snow and moisture. it looks like your shop has a huge overhead space too. i am wanting to combine a multi-bay garage with an upstairs storage/hang out place for big gatherings because i have a small house. cars, tools, motorcycles furniture....yes.......space for it all.....no..... i also agree with you on keeping your cars looking stock. thats the beauty of an old vehicle....if i needed a comfy ride or a throw away vehicle to hack up into a frankenstein, i'd buy a late model because there are plenty of them around. hope you go with a (6 lug obviously) disc brake conversion on the front.....that makes all the difference in the world when you want to stop! |
