Hey, it happens to all of us. I've been building an engine for over two years now. With a little burst of energy and free time here and there it will get done!

As promised pics. Paint is the Eastwood single stage gloss black with kevlar. Looks good, some day we shall see how well it holds up.

Wow! Very nice color combo. not sure how I missed this but great job

[tybob81]

Love the color combo. It reminds me of a Smokey Yunick paint scheme.

Bump, How is the progress. I drove through Salado yesterday on my way to Killeen and thought about your project. If you need any help on it let me know.

I just recently got done with school and cleaned up the garage. I has three online classes and that gave me little time for any work on the 67. Gonna start cracking on it again here real soon. I appreciate the offer, I may have to take you up on it when the engine gets dropped in.

[FormerMarine1981]

Works for me, give me a call if you still have my number or PM me for it.

[fireguywtc]

There, that looks better.

is it done? show us some pics

[fireguywtc]

No, unfortunately I am not done. I have a lot left. Life has away of pulling you away from doing these kinds of things. School, work, volunteer fire department, family, and even the 70 highboy keeps me pretty busy. The good news is I am graduating from school so I will have more time to finish this project.

Over the last year I have been very slowly making progress. Today I have been slaving away at touching up the inner fenders and painting the wing window frames. I recently got the engine back from the machine shop because I had some issues with the roller rockers. Those are all fixed now and ready to assmble the engine again. I while ago I started laying sound insulation in the cab and got side tracked when I pulled out the steering column and discovered it needs rebuilding not also. Once I make some significant progress I will post some pics. I am currently trying to get the interior sealed up, engine set in the frame, and the whole front clip back on.

Actually got something done lately worth noting. I finished bolting the bed down and added in the bedside toolbox. I have also started running the painless wiring harness. I do have all the windows put back in and sealed up. Just need to add the door seals. Perhaps I can get some stuff done this year, . I feel close, but also feel far away.

Did you get the gas tank mounted? I bought the same tank. Hoping It won't be too big of a deal to figure out the straps. I also put a door in the bedside.
