69%. I am an embarrassment. I will sit the kids down tomorrow and tell them 'dad's a failure'. Kelvin
I have a 60 Impala, I have been meaning to make some kind of slip steering column. I may elevate that task on the old list.
"...........Maybe you just need to adjust the antenna on your hat...........:D.............(avatar)" LOL...dammit! I should have lead with 7 3/8...
Where do you folks keep all this mostly-useless knowledge? I wear, like a 7 3/8 hat. Ya'lls hat size must be like 9 1/2. Kelvin
Keep it up guys, lot of hard work in there!
Just spent the past few days reading this. Nice thread, I learned a lot. Kelvin
Like that shifter. Looks like it would be easy to replace the Alum shift arms with chromed steel. Do I "have to" shift in this order: 1-2,...
Thanks for posting. Great build!
For 2k, I am assuming this is a four door. I would keep the six, and just drive it for a while. Make it look as nice as possible, most girls don't...
Great thread.
She is looking nice! Nice stance.
I, like most here, like both. Gun to head; I lean Chevy because I have an Impala. I'd sooner get a mullet, then drive one of the later El Caminos...
The force of wind resistance is proportional to the square of the speed...like this F=r*V^2 where "r" is some constant that I can't be bothered...
Truth. Back in college I did an experiment for an automotive engineering class where I measured bolt preload with a strain gauge at different...
I would stain it like you would a deck. I use Polyurethane for tons of indoor things -like bench tops, but I would not use it on anything that...
I hesitate to bring up math, but you could measure the spring compression with a scale. If/when you pull the spring pack make a jig to hold the...
Better than nothing on your head. DOT or not, it would need to be rebuild it with new foam and strap to make it anything more than a show piece....

I think the easiest thing to do is put the vacuum gauge on it. All of your issues could be associated with a vacuum leak, and if not it will also...
Go with the Gasser theme. Finish up what you have...I think with two new front doors. Plexi rear windows; mud it up and primer it. I know, we all...
Seems to me you need to do a bit of planning. Maybe you should post a picture of what you are after. Post a few more of the truck itself, I am...
Subscribed.
Actually think it looks kind of cool...but those rears are just not gonna cut it functionally. Kelvin
First off. Thanks for your service. It sounds like you have a good plan, just get it running, and then tackle the drop. Plenty of time for the...
Very cool. Kelvin
Got any plans?
Beautiful!
Wow! Cool!
Yup:)
I think you should lose the bumper horns and replace the turn indicators with simple round ones -help accentuate that nice grill. Kelvin
