I got a few hours work in. Fitting the front fenders and grill. I'm going to take the grillshell in to get re chromed.

Did I mention this is my last car project. Has anyone here said that?

Lookin good Logride. Looks like your getting closer!

Yes, said that before. This time I mean it!!!!  When i'm done this time, i'm done.

I have been making a little progress with the warmer temps.

I got a Zips raised water pump riser it also mounts the alternator and an AC compressor if you would want. The big draw is that it raises the fan 5"  it also uses a chevy 6 water pump.

I bought the heater at a swap meet 15 or so years ago. Had it boiled out and tested. And put in a 12 motor that I got from Napa.

The water valve has the controil knob mounted on the bottom of the dash.

I had the running boards powder coated silver and glued mats from InI on.

I had to splice a 32 and 50 collum so the butterfly steering wheel would fit properly, and the horn should work.

I got the bumpers mounted and am working on the fish tails.

They are going to be shortened so they are inside the bumpers profile.

Logride, the car is looking great! I like the doorpanels. I used a Zipriser on my car, it has worked great for me and centered the fan too.

The bumpers and all the other unique parts give that car a style all it's own.

Logride,
Great looking ride!  You should be proud.

I like the fish tail exhaust tips they add a little bling to the rear

Hey thanks guys!

I hope to get it drivable this summer. The tires and grill shell should be here around tax day. But we'll see.

Chopper on the riser do you use the bleeder screw that came with it or did you put a GM bleeder in it?

In this picture you can kinda see my auto shifter made out of a 50ish 3 speed column shifter.
No reverse lockout  so I guess you could call it suscide shift.

Logride, that car looks driveable now!!

On the zipriser I just used the bleeder screw. I bought a GM bleeder, but in order to use it you have to drill out the hole larger and then tap it. I know I can do it, but I also know I could screw it up   Anyway, the bleeder worked fine, I let the air out before I ran it, then after I ran it when it cooled down. I have had no problems. If you want to try the bleeder, I'll take a look for it and you can have it, I bought it new from Chevy so I know it's good.

[logride]

Hey thanks Chopper,

I was wondering how the screw it came with worked. Sounds like it's good.

Can't wait to get some more time to work on it!

[logride]

I shortened the exhaust and used a expander in the tailpipe, I would have expanded the tips to slide over the pipes but on my test it failed to get big enough without splitting.

I'm going to weld them on when I'm sure I don't have to take the tank out again.

Logride..That's a great look!!

[chopper526]

Looks great, Logride! ....What happens if you have to take the tank out somewhere down the road?
