Always enjoy seeing any type of machine work so you got my interest. I've been tempted to get a manual mill lately but I kinda need a better daily driver hmm temptations.

 

wow.... just read through all 50 pages of this thread (minus all of the political BS). Kid you are incredibly talented. Cannot wait to see how the truck turns out!

 

Just getting back on the Trozei train here. I fell off a couple pages back and lost track of it Haha.

 

The speed of right... mmmmm sounds familiar amigo. Keep at it, and I love what you are doing with the valve cover. Can't wait to see it, and will give Larry some negative feed-back on the lack of quality control.

Any updates there young Prince (2)?

 

Buuuuump...............side.

The silence is deafening!

 

Must be working a lot or, getting lots of sweetie-pie quality time in or, he's feverishly working away on the truck/engine and not posting until he gets done with what's on the agenda to be accomplished.

 

Don't worry guys I've been in contact with him. he's just been extremely busy lately.

 

No hurry, no worry.

Any updates? Been dying for one.

 

I just read thru all 50 pages, this is the longest thread I've ever read here, or at allfordmustangs, or at trifivechevies, or at hell any of the car forums I belong too. I'm enjoying your build, sucks about that crack in your block a few pages back, very glad the machine shop guy had one for you to replace that one. I'm interested to see what you come up with the valve cover logo.

 

I'm with the rest of these guys. Just read through all fifty pages, it's a hell of a project and a damn nice truck to boot. Subscribed for sure.

 

Last week i read all 30 pages of Randels Home Brewed 70. It took a toll on my work duties.
I'll catch up as time allows, not to let down my team. I hate it when work gets in the way...

 

If only i could get my boy to ease up on the "sweetie pie quality time..."

 

Sorry, guys. I have been really busy lately and held up with a lot of delays. I owe you guys an update so here's the run down.

Cleaned up my F150 and sold that.

Repainted my house. [no photo]

Spent a few weeks wrenching on the '73 and sold that too. (By the way, Redhead steering boxes are top notch).



Rebuilt a differential for the first time which was fun. The '69 will get the LSD 31 spline treatment soon.



Bought a car. Love it.



I've been doing some maintenance stuff to the Highboy. It also needed a tailgate repair.



Spent a bunch of hours on block work. The casting was rough so I smoothed everything down to perfection. The block is now primed.





I've been doing some photoshoots for side money. This car has 1036rwhp.



We also pulled the GMC out of the garage after a decade. We're converting it to power disc brakes, power steering, and we're lowering it.



I'm now wrenching on the Camaro because we're going to sell that.



I also finished the machining on the valve cover and now have it primed. To make up for my delays, I will give you all a preview.





The GMC's parts have filled up the garage and the 4Runner on the trailer is blocking the garage door, so I can't pull my engine out to paint it and the garage is too messy to do anything inside. Dad's not exactly motivated to do me a favour and move the trailer forward so that I can actually make some progress on my engine so when he's out of town for work I'll have a buddy bring a truck over and do it. Lots of hold ups but I'm getting there. After I paint it, I'm putting it in the truck and then we can get this show on the road again.
