Tweet 66 I sent you a PM. I apologize as I haven't been on in while and didn't see you request for pics. Update on the hood. I have cut all rust out and welded in new metal. Ground down the welds and applied the first layer of filler. In the process of sanding that back down now.

Thanks,
Rick

Thanks. I already cut the rust out so I am thinking I might as well fix it and see what I can get out of it. Thanks again for the reply.

Rick

I have a 66 hood that has some rust in the front lip area. Pretty common I suppose. Any way, what I am asking is since I no longer need the hood, is it worth it to do the metal work and paint with epoxy primer to prepare it for sale. Will I get anything for it? I don't mind doing the work and have e...

Looks great. I really like the color scheme!

I have an old build thread that I recently updated. I have seen where others obviously smarter than I, have figured out how to modify the title of the post to indicate that more pics were added etc...

thanks,
Rick

http://www.slick60s.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=31235 In the build thread you can see a few pics of the bed floor replacement I did. It was a center section from an 86 F150 and fabricated pieces in each corner. If you want to see more PM me and I will get your email add and then send you a powerpoi...

Had a photo opportunity this weekend with a blue bird morning. Enjoy: http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr/DSC01150.jpg http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr/DSC01153.jpg http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr/DSC01154.jpg http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr...

It has been a while since I updated this build thread. so here goes Updated pictures: This is what really got me started on this restore http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr/DSC00843_1.jpg Some of what I found as I peeled the onion http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff423/rderr/DSC00881....

Good point. I have cleaned the engine up as part of the restore but I haven't checked to see if the oil is coming down the back of the engine from the intake. I just assumed rear main seal because of the location of the leak. Thanks.

My 1966 352 w/3 speed manual is missing the dust cover for the clutch/flywheel. Also, since my rear main seal is leaking I am concerned about the oil getting slung onto my headers. I know I need to address the rear main seal but I also want to get a dust cover installed as well. Does anyone know whe...

Thanks. I had a build thread started when I began but as happens I didn't keep the thread going. I need to update it with pics.

Took "Fancy" out for a trial run after a two year restore. Still a few things to correct/finish but all in all it was a successful trial run. Although open headers makes for a loud ride. That is my crusty but trusty old neighbor on the left. He helps me a lot. http://i1235.photobucket.com/...

Have to agree. Shows like this are (in my opinion) why so many people embark on a restoration and then give up when the reality of how hard and how much it is going to cost hits. $5K to restore that truck and add a dump bed? I don't think that qualifies as reality TV. Also they make it look as thoug...

Update on the ALT idiot light saga. Here is what I have found out this weekend. Before I start, I'd like to say how much help everyone on here has been. I appreciate it a lot! I have the alt wired correctly as well as the voltage regulator connectors to the respective alternator posts. I ran the &qu...

Does anyone know where I could buy a dual exhaust system (kit or package for our trucks) that will work with my 352 long bed? I need a system that would run from the long tube headers back.
Thanks,
Rick

Unibody, no problem. Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out that my problem was that the EZ wire kit comes with an integral flasher in the fuse box and I was trying to feed the original flasher in my old switch and harness from the new flasher and that just plain doesn't work. My only issue wi...

Thanks Paul. Do you happen to have a picture of what I would be looking for (shunt resistor) from my old harness?

Thanks,
Rick

I'm still a little confused about my ALT idiot light wiring. The EZ wiring kit has a white wire coming out of the fuse block that is labeled "Alt Excite". I assume that this wire provides a 12V signal to the voltage regulator I terminal to excite the Alt to start charging. Based on what th...

Just curious, what was the original purpose for them?

Rick

I guess I just needed to hear it from others. I ordered a water pump. Hope to get it replaced this weekend. Thanks for the replies.
