D-VO Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Excellent job on this car, everything is super clean, love it. Do you have any more information / pics on fixing those seat bolsters? That was always the one thing that bugged me about the 86-87 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theastronaut Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Great work and beautiful car! Thanks!! Excellent job on this car, everything is super clean, love it. Do you have any more information / pics on fixing those seat bolsters? That was always the one thing that bugged me about the 86-87 seats. There are two bolts that hold the bolsters onto the seat, take those bolts out and slot the holes in the bolster mounts. That lets the bolster slide closer into the seat. It really helps the looks of the seats. u drove around with a rear end, on a roof rack..... on top of that super clean ride ? U nutz! - lol Yeah, gotta do what you gotta do!! I'm building a pro-touring '66 Chevy C10 for autocross and track events and I needed an axle to start building the rear three link suspension. So... I'm hauling parts with a sports car and autocrossing a truck... Yes, Nuts!! It was about a 25 mile trip, no problems hauling it up there. There were four guys to help load it so we didn't have any issues getting it up there safely, and I used the engine lift to unload it once I was home with it. I did make sure that it wasn't leaking brake fluid though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theastronaut Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is a bit crazy! Don't ruin your beautiful car. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss14/theastronaut/Random/E5B59A62-52E2-449A-BD0F-ADD37DBA8FEE_1.jpg Don't worry, no harm done. who made that roof rack ? u should send them video and phots, for their next adI bet that drew alot of "wt...." stares on the highwayn that truck sounds like a hella cool project It's a Thule rack, the axle was probably over the weight limit so I loaded it right on top of the feet instead of in the middle of the bars. Unfortunately it was dark by the time we had it loaded and headed home with it so we didn't get any reactions from other drivers. I was kinda dissapointed lol. I do drive around with a drift trike on my '64 VW's roof rack so I'm used to it. The truck project is close to rolling, just need to build the rear susupension. The local GM Truck Club is having a meet/autocross on May 23 so I'd like to have it rolling by then so I can trailer it to the show. Here's the full build if you're interested. http://67-72chevytru...ad.php?t=474456 Here's a shot of the front suspension. Has a rack and pinion swap, six piston 14.5" Brembo brakes from a CTS-V, lots of geometry mods, and will be on air ride so I can adjust the spring rate easily. Engine will be a LS2 or LS3 with CNC ported LS3 heads fed by an Inglese manifold with four Weber IDA carbs. I'd actually like to sell my two Conquest so I could throw more money at the truck project and get it running. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss14/theastronaut/66%20C10/B5B8E11D-8F4D-4C18-A333-6C1B2E8F7F7A_1.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t599/andersonautoglass/Random/E20F4C3E-AE9B-4C6F-8791-16B02F635879-179-0000000543309E8C_zps6132b583.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
