Guys I have been working on a brick job from HELL since mid May. I am thankful to have the work but omg what a pita it has been. The truck has been just sitting in the shop for the last two months. I saw it this past weekend for the first time in over a month... I was able to get the glass both front and the rear slider in at least.
Next up I need to order the Vintage Air for it. I already have the compressor that came with the engine so I need to order whatever kit they have less that. It's a GM (Delco) 88964849 that comes with the Fastburn crate engine.
Should I just call Vintage direct or is there someone here that has already ordered a kit with the same situation I have?

Being summer and all I got side tracked on the Lake a few times too.

Glad to hear you are still doing good. I think you can go with the new sure fit model. It should work with your compressor. (check with them before you order). There is at least one vender on here that sells the Vintage Air systems. They should be able to save you some bucks.

I'm with you on a crazy work schedule. I haven't touched my project in over a month. It's kinda nice getting away for a while. It works out good because I don't have AC in my shop and it's 100+ everyday here.

Tinkermc · 07-24-2012, 03:14 PM

nice lookin work, if you find you would like some help of any kind wiring or whatever I could come help.It's not far away.

killer71 · 07-24-2012, 06:54 PM

I ordered my vintage air kit from scottshotrods without the compressor. They are a forum member on here. If you look under the Vendor forum they have a thread on vintage air specials. Give them a call they should be able to help you out.

Everything is ordered and should be on the way in a week. It's nice to pick up the phone and have great service and all the correct items in one call.

Here is a pic from the other evening.

Very cool looking boat! Looks slow.... Kidding
Haven't had mine out in over a month

Mike you know an Allison is not slow...

Yeah I know Allison is as fast as they come.

No, I have been working more hours than I ever have. Trying to stock on some cash so when it cools down I can get back on my project.
Historically, I don't work on it at all during July and August. Where you have 85, we have 105. With no A/C in my shop it's not an option.
I do still play golf with the boy on weekend evenings when it "cools" down.
Fishing is super slow this time of year, all the lakes are low again from lack of rain too.

Looking forward to updates on yours anyway. Keep hammering

Chris the Vintage air is not bad to install I have the Gen IV if you have any questions let me know....

I will get back to work on it as the weather gets colder here and work slows.

Plus the boat won't be such a distraction.

Okay finally I will have some updated pics on here this evening maybe. Got the fastburn fired and she moves under power.. and stops! Milestone for me to say the least after all of this.

Man! Lots of killer projects going here on the board, could take all month just to catch up.

Bishops Trucks · 02-05-2013, 07:53 AM

Awesome work. Everything looks great! "Shorty" seems fitting for the truck.
