I just sent my cab in to get it acid dipped yesterday.

The rest is in my garage stripped clean.

Thats a monster paint job. I think Im just going with a flat black, or undercoating.

I did the body work on the dash and I now have the roof covered in body filler. Might get some more pictures soon.

So, when you thinking about letting me have one of your crewcab's?

How the heck do you have all the luck and find not only one but two? I'm moving where you live.

Funny that you would mention that. I may be getting out of the old truck business. If I don't get them in order soon, there won't be anything left to save. If I do sell, this will be the first place I list the trucks and parts. I don't know when that decision will be made though. I actually had a third 67 crew I was trying to buy, but the guy was a goof and wanted more than I paid for the black one and it wasn't as good as my white one. 67s are my favorites though.

I will be watching your build.

I just found out today that my engine is getting bored .030 over and will be a 466

. Today I lapped the valves and they are Manly Race-Master 2.19/1.76.

And Yes I am going to grind that bump in the exhaust port down.

All in all they are now 80.4 cc chambers. These pictures were taken before the chambers and valves got finished.

I forgot to post that my roof is now partially blocked with a skim coat of body filler. I have selected my pistons which are Keith Black Hypreutectic with a 22cc dish so I will be able to run low octane and not have to worry about shattering the pistons.

I at first thought I would have no choice but to go over 10:1 compression and run a high octane. Then I would have to worry about detonation but its going to be 9.2:1 which I wasn't too fond of at first. I wanted to run at least 10.5:1 but I learned why I can't. I will very soon be getting a crank. Well my "sweet sixteen" is coming up, anything in particular I should ask for? I was trying to think of truck parts since I have just about all of the engine parts. Maybe a set of whitefaced gauges.

I finally got around to coloring my concept drawing. This paint job was inspired by the body lines on my 69 cougar. My favorite color is green and when I first saw grabber green I fell in love with the color all over again. I don't just want a plain color, I want a metallic green, hence, grabber green. Plus, I also fell in love with the tear drop hood scoop as soon as I found out about it. These two things are very important to me on this build. Those and a bench seat. The gray is going to be the gloss black.

, your truck is coming along nicely.

I got the Eagle crank and Keith Black forged pistons and rings ordered up today. I thought I was going with the hyperuetectics, forged=awesome, its a direct link.

I other news, the cougar is now requiring $600 headers custom made for the car since all the other ones are crap. Sold a car, so we were able to buy a little bit.

But not too happy with Hooker Headers after two horrible experiences with them.

More head work done on the 466, exhaust ports are SMOOOOOOOTH as heck. I like how they turned out.

I took some pictures of trucks around my house today, will upload them soon. Maybe in the general discussion.

I got my heads just about finalized today. Lapping wasn't going the way I wanted it to so I decided to call it quits and finish tomorrow.
