...sweet.

Proud for you, Steve... look forward to the 'finished' pics.

Afternoon Corey, Vent is the chrome door edge trim that you can buy at Autozone or O'Reilly's... comes in a roll. Three layers of 3m double-sided trim tape (the foam rubber kind) works beautifully for applying the panels, since the trim clips become a non-option. Just lay each layer in the recessed ...

We're also grafting these into the hood (Dad did one like this, back in '68...).



The DX shop truck has an OEM '69 Mach 1 scoop mounted... the turn signals will be wired within a few days.

Been working on getting both trucks finished out. The little DX shop truck will stay a "sleeper" (as we called them, way back when) in the body dept. for a year or two more. But both are getting brand new interiors, and other upgrades (per the final 'look' design for each truck). Ruby's ne...

...appreciate it. Lord willin', she'll wear her current colors-n-"condition" for a year or two (EVERYTHING ELSE is BRAND NEW, from the dropped I-beams and shackles, to the ADCO swaybars, 429 SCJ, and race-prepped 700R 4... I have a Gear Vendor behind RUBY's 429, this option is far less cos...

'65 Olds Starfire... with a B&M Quicksilver shifter, topped with the Starfire T-shift handle (threaded to match the shaft on the shifter). The '67 Mustang "deluxe" wheel will be sporting a '57 FORD center emblem within a couple of weeks. And the console will be topped by a new '56 Fair...

Mods, I just noticed the "Projects And Builds" forum... this may be better suited to that one. My apologies for not noticing quicker.

My little "DX" shop truck has been waiting 10 years for all the parts-n-ideas to come together. She should be back on the road by Friday...

PS:
We did get her fired up. Ran for 20 minutes, to break in the cam. Tonight, Larry will install the new valve springs and get her ready for tomorrow.

I video'd the start up on my Galaxy - just have NO IDEA how to get it from my phone to Youtube. But she sounds WONDERFUL!

Thanks for the update, Kevin. If I wasn't running like a madman, working with Larry to get the engine completed and in the truck by tomorrow evening (a few "minor" setbacks... wrong water pump -too long for serpentine system-. brand new Edelbrock carb is getting disassembled tonight... to ...

Thanks Rick. Funny you should mention Kevin's (didn't know he made them to sell...). I just spent almost an hour going through his fantastic build thread.

Hey Kevin, good to see ya.

First, thanks. MAN, I LOVE YOUR AVATAR TRUCK! (always wanted a 'Linc' hoodlatch setup... just never took the time to adapt the one I scavenged from a '63)

Again, thanks for posting up.

Wallet on the other hand looks severely deflated :D. HAH! You got that right, my friend! I was NOT intending on doing anything like this... for another 100K miles (the engine, that is). I'm just glad I get back to work Monday (5-7 months straight... from Iowa, to Kansas, to Nebraska, to California ...
