Stop posting and get welding!
We want to hear that hot pickup running!
HaHaHa . .
Too many distractions this week!
Hoping today with phone off the hook and the gate to shop closed I can finally make more progress on the header build.
I have also been searching the many locations parts for the '66 482 truck are located. The 3 moves in 9 months really messed things up not to mention how many times the truck location changed in past 3 years.
I had the '56 Chev friends project to deal with also. He bought it 28yrs ago and had never driven the car until YESTERDAY!
We drove it around the block for the first time. Now for the rest of the month its '66 482 Time.
Plan is to at least get it running this month.
Its also quite difficult for me to crawl under the '66 then get back up the multi zillion times needed to build headers. I wish the hoist would fit inside shop vs having it up on jack stands.
I do need to ask where is a good place to have a custom driveshaft made for the 482 project?
Kinda leaning towards a aluminum shaft.
No other vehicles in shop now with parts scattered everywhere. But its HEADER TIME!
Ok Ok, I know its a chevy but part of the story.
The pic on rotisserie was back in 1998, we started on it in 1997.
Its been taking up my limited space in shop here for over a year. It will go to upholstery next week.
With very limited time I am able to get things done everything takes forever.
'66 Progress starting NOW!
