I guess it's time to clean out the old turd and start playing again. I have two people lined up to look at my 78 and hopefully it sells!!

I get so caught up in 67-72s that I don't think of making money off of other years to push forward on my projects. Good for you.

I definitely keep my eyes open for good deals of any kind. Sold a nice little 68 Bug to fund my 67 project a few years back. Made about 2k in profit on it! This truck brought double that. Sure feels good having a little $$$ to make things happen with zero impact on funds!!!

slick copper · 10-28-2019, 11:44 PM

You sound like me getting back into mine again! Trying to sell my ATV for funds to get ole Copper back on the road. Good to see you still goin on it!

Hey brotha!! Been a minute!! Thanks for stopping by the thread.

Way too much "life" has happened over the past couple of years that has effected my progress. But I think I see some light at the end of the tunnel. It may help me keep my sanity! Glad to see you are still on yours too!

slick copper · 11-03-2019, 06:48 PM

Same Here! Been crazy last few years. But time to get it back on the road!

I will fabricate a tunnel or whatever is necessary for the driveshaft. I do a lot of fab work so not a problem. I will be running a one piece driveshaft to eliminate vibration as well.

Slick67 · 05-03-2020, 12:44 PM

My fab skills have been put to the test lately. I have never attempted these before but a guy asked for some and showed me what he wanted so I made them. Came out pretty good!!! Test fitted on my brother's 71 Blazer.

Well, it happened again. Another project acquired to fix up and help fund this project. This time a F*rd. At least it's a cool F*rd. The 55 Bird.

That's already a very nice car. I can't wait to see what you do to it. Plans?

Complete braking system, new gas tank, new fuel lines and a few small odds and ends. Maybe a little paint correction. But yes it is in really great shape and you would not believe what I gave for it.

jjzepplin · 07-07-2020, 08:35 PM

I probably wouldn't. That should bring you enough to get that ol project out and do some fancy work!

I sure hope so! The market is down on Baby Birds right now unfortunately. Still should net me a healthy profit! Hoping for around a 17k profit!

Slick67 · 05-11-2021, 12:59 PM

Finally getting to the Blazer again! She has sat long enough and needs some major love.

Found some script valve covers and got them cleaned up and ready for the LS1 that will be living under the hood. The wheels were looking pretty rough from sitting in the shop for a long time so I had them professionally polished and ceramic coated.

I purchased some valve cover adapters so I could run the script valve covers, it definitely looks better than the coils. Also got some Speed Engineering headers, nice product for the price!!! Those custom wood wheels are better than nothing while I am workin on her plus it rolls super easy!!!
