Project Stance: 1965 Chevy C10

[yusoslo]

Got a little more serious today. Front end is off being sand blasted, once back on Thursday the lower arms will be cupped and the cross member will be raised 2". Bags will be installed and new motor and trans will go in. Next week the rear will be finished.











going to hand brass knuckles on the other panel opposite of the bottle opener. The pinstripe artist will paint, Play under the bottle opener and Work under the hanging brass knuckles. I am in the process of reupholstering the door cards.

my new material. Rebel side is mine, Colombian side is hers, the Kona one will be the shift boot.



also made a final decision on wheels and tires.

ordered gauges.
These gauges


Aviator trim rings


Original dash looks like this (not mine) mine is flat black


but for the gauge cluster I am making a template out of wood, then nail a copper sheet to the board with copper nails
Kinda like this

Like those old pick-up trucks like yours, the works look very good!

Keep it up.

Little more work on the motor, finally got the right bolt off and removed power steering and alternator. Going with a short water pump, low mount alternator and gilmer drive pulley setup.


shift knob adapter is in, still waiting on 26" shift linkage, and my new dash mounted bottle opener, this was an old heater panel that goes right next to the steering wheel.

thanks for the tip. but polished copper that is clear coated (a special kind) I thought would look similar.

[Francois Dillinger]

might be, but getting things copper plated would look like a penny, getting things brass plated would better match your radiator.

[yusoslo]

Says online it's copper and brass

[D&W]

nice nice!

[Francois Dillinger]

isn't the radiator brass?

[MSD0S]

Brilliant!

Took the day off of work to finish my motor refresh. A complete gasket overhaul from Fel-Pro's top of the line series, really nice stuff!! The T-40 broke on me so I could not remove the PS pump or alternator. They will be removed Sunday and replaced with Gilmer drive and a low alternator relocation bracket.

9AM







6PM - waiting on new oil pan so its not on yet.





going w this intake with matching finned valve covers. Trying to find a place to copper plate them.


why copper?
well because I have been polishing my stock radiator for hours, I also want to make my rad hoses out of copper piping that is mandrel bend and then polished too!!
halfway done
