Few more pictures for your viewing pleasure

So spent the day Friday with the ones I love, the truck, the tools and the old man lol. Continued with the engine assembly etc. 1. Had to remove the front prop shaft so I could install the torque converter cover plate. Also the trans oil lines. The lines were tough to get back in. 2. Power...

Hey, I know its been a bit. Had major cell phone issues. Couldn't attach pictures etc. All sorted out. This is how the truck sits now. Body onto the fame, (looks sketchy I know) and many sensors plugged in (all new) wires, vacuum tubes and brackets inplace. Had a huge storm come though...

Awsome. I'm at that point now so will need to find out if these are available. Anyways, taking a bit of time off working on the truck for few weeks ( Dr. Orders) Got a pic of me sitting In the hospital, just got a cast on my left arm. Fractured my wrist Monday night after cashing my mountain...

I'm not 100% on max drop but did mine approx 2 inches in the front buy adjusting the torsion bar bolts with no scrubbing from fron end turn ing or driving and did the back end 3 inches buy installing lowering blocks. This gave a leveled look to my Typhoon. Truck in peices at the moment but I...

This is first coat. Buy the time you.guys read this, probably have a second coat of white on the cover the floor. Not sure if I'm going to do white on the bottom (probably) or black. Either way, bottom will also be por-15ed. Till next time. T

Can't believe how fast time files in the summer when you work at a refigeration company! Been few weeks since an update. I have almost finnished the trucks floor. I have a single.coat of Por-15 white on the floor but still needs another. There is a bit more welding under the truck. A bit...

Forgot to add - the mythical aluminum 427 Big block. Hgh tech at the time of manufacture.

Ok, I can't see what car you are referencing.and maybe it cause I'm viewing this from my phone but if I was going to guess - late 60's ZL-1 (I didn't cheat and look this up) I do remember as a kid seeing a sticker like this. Think it was a vette.

Hey guys, I didn't know the recommendation was for 97 octane fuel either. I've always used sunoco 94 up here as that's the best available in Ontario. (It is currently available as is 93) Yes I will be having the heads done and if that brings CR up to 8.5 to 1 then I'm going to leave at that...

If there is anything I'm having a hard time finding, it's good know there's lads willing to help. Thanks man. Do have a question, Anyone play with compression ratio? I believe the factory CR is 8.35 to 1. Since im changing the rod and pistons anyways I've been thinking about upping the CR...

I know its really hard to see, the first picture has the hole. What looks like the floor is actually the driveway. Second picture has the shitty patch

Again, few more. This is under the back seat. I cut out the rotten section and attempted to weld the new panel but the welder jut too hot. Even the manual indicates not recommended for this thin. needless to say, not happy with this patch so far. Will probably cut out and do another. A better...

May 29/21 Hey,. Was such a beautiful weekend, rolled the truck out to work in the sunshine! . The driver and passenger side (forgot to mention this last week) in the cab mount areas are actually 3 layers. From the bottom up, cab mount, reinforcement plate/bracket then floor pan. I didn't want...

A few more pictures

Been a few weeks since an update. Just been so busy. I have been working on the truck. May 22/21 Had to change around the front rotisserie mounting location so I could begin changing the diver side footwell and body mount. Quickly fabbed up a small bracket by drilling some holes and...

Hey All, Been few weeks, was oncall one of the weekends, ended up really tired and so another weekend so didn't feel like any garage time. This Friday I took off work so I could get my motor in for disassemble and full rebuild. We took the motor off the stand and had to get out the engine...

I know I turned the camera angle, I'm sorry. One was before and the other with the long shoe on the back side is after shaping around. Like I said, had to do the other side also.

Dave P Ghost- Definitely, you were right. I had a 50% chance to get right, both sides were backwards! Anyways, flipped them around and put back together. Didn't go as bad this time around as I've had a bit of practice with these drums. Mounted the new rotors and calipers. I also purchased...

I looked though previous pictures and you're right, those shoes are on backwards. I will have to check the other but chances are it's backwards also (as they are a pain to change around) Thanks
