Plans.

Get the motor going. Make sure the mechanicals are sound (id like to be driving it on the street by spring)

Fix all sheet metal.

Interior.

Paint/bodywork.

Most likely in that order.

Yeah this was one of Randy's.... And no that wasn't me. Haha! I haven't driven the Vette in prob around 3 months. I have lost all interest in it. It's sad actually.... I think I know the Vette you are talking about. White rims with track numbers on it. It has a 383 in it. Pretty nice actually :)

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Looks sweet, going to be a neat project!

[drmrman]

Yup ;)

[LS1ow]

[drmrman]

Paint is so far away that I haven't really put any serious thought into it.... But I'm really thinking like a cream with black accents.

c6 vette Z wheels and brakes ?! GO GO GO

[drmrman]

Haha not on this one.... Find someone to buy the Vette. It's getting kicked out of the garage and I don't want to see it sit outside.

just sell it to pino, hes always buyin toys

[drmrman]

He's not interested. He's crazy about that new stang he got.....

[HardcoreZ28]

Looks like a great start to a project. My 48 F1 has fallen by the wayside for a bit but I'm hoping to get back to it soon.

Are you keeping all the sheetmetal on the front end? In hindsight I would have rather gone with a 30's model myself....the chop is so much easier than the one on my truck.

[LS1ow]

oh trust me i know. he called me out with that already. sending me pics of the stand alone computer and what not. he had a red 4 eyed hatch at the begining of the summer and he talked that thing up like it was a killer. and i drove around that thing.

[drmrman]

HHAHA! Yeah I hear ya! He sent me the same pics! HAhahahaha!

Any updates?

[drmrman]

Havent updated in a few weeks. Not much progress. A lot of little things to make the big picture come together.

Coil mounted. Made and routed the plug wires.

Filled the door with most of its guts. Lent out my window tracks so I havent put the glass in yet,. but its all ready for it now.

Stainless bolt kit for the cabs. Removed the Fuel pump just to make sure it functioned (only because I got the motor in unknown condition). Cleaned and polished the pump. And finalized most of the carb linkage.

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/405506_10150578284364655_516434654_8786408_3482611 4_n.jpg

Last I started routing the copper lines for the carbs. This is only a mock up to see if I could get the bends tight enough and to see if the routing I have in my head is physically possible. Hopefully Ill finish up the lines soon.

After the fuel lines are plumbed the majority of the other parts I need to get it fired should be here and hopefully Ill have a video of a running motor soon :D Woo!

Sunny, my girlfriend helped me finish making the copper Lines from the tank to the fuel pump! She did an excellent job! After one lesson on how to dbl flare and one lesson on how to use a tube bender, she was making a line with compound bends! Hot rodder in the making.

[WildBillyT]

Looks good! But isn't copper for fuel lines a big no-no (unless its copper nickel)?

Starts better and faster then any over head valve motor I have ever owned.

[drmrman]

Haven't touched the truck in a while. I've been gathering parts and trying to find time for a life. But here's what I've got so far.

Finished the fuel system.

Purchased all the components I need to wrap up the brake system.

Purchased door latches and dove tails. Hood hinge and mounts. Hood hold downs. And I'm in the process of making a set of stand offs, because the hood latches were made for a full fender car.

Hood mock up.
