Project "G"

Thats good Chris.And am am Sure your gonna share your shiny goodies when you get 'em back.

progress has been slow, I have been working on parts for the motor. I have been working on the valve covers sanding, sanding sanding. I bought this nice polishing kit from eastwood for drill motors to give them a nice polish




next step is to powdercoat them so I never have to polish these again

Awwwww! Now That's PRETTY!!!

I think powdercoating is a great idea for those ,,its tough to keep chrome looking good on an engine ya actually drive.

Gotta love the Iron Maiden sign..

When I was 18 I wanted a picture of Eddie's head painted on the hood of my Camaro. But I had way more ideas then money back then.

Actually still do..

Scott, I think "we all" still do!

just curious , did you ever get parts numbers for your leaf springs and airbags. I would be very interested to know how your lowering setup is working

badnova, sorry to say I haven't had a chance to play with the bag set yet. The van still has no motor , battery and it needs new wiring. As for parts #'s the leafs were made special for this van by Eaton.

I will be finally start working on my motor after Taz fest. It's a older 350 crate motor

Oh Yeah ! Listen to th' jingle,the rumble & the roar.-Roy Acuff

A set back for the 64 The low miles motor is a hunk of s**t. it will cost more to built than to get a rebuilt so I'm going to save my pennies for a rebuilt crate motor.

What did you run into Chris?

It's was all over the place valve seats bad cyl's out of round (ran it too rich flushed all the oil out) needs to be bored out. four push rods have scores in them. the heads need to be totaly redone. And that just the top end. Sure the crank isn't any better. Sometime you have to walk away. Too put that kind of money in this motor I feel would be a waste of cash. Alot of motors out there I'll find another

Dang thats to bad , I know how that goes, I'll keep an ear and eye open up this way , I'm pretty sure I know what yer after. I'm doing a soft search for a 454 in this land of dead farm trucks.

Got my parts back from the platter today

G-man,That chrome sure is purty! Bill

Very very sharp !!! hmmm even the prop rod and latch ,, Yep you are the King of Overkill my friend ,,,lol ,,,

Shiney!!!!

Hey Chris those chrome parts look sweet. If anyone wants some tail bezel castings, I still make them.

Thank Dan !!! I think the bezels gotavan makes are better than stock, won't dent up like the stock ones

just bought the set on ebay, now need the headlight rings.
where and how much did all that cost to get chromed Gman?

I saw on an earlier post how much you paid to have the chroming done,
not a bad price.

Rd I have some extra headlight rings, I think they are two rights if not that they are two lefts LOL. I'll check later on what they are.
