i forgot to mention that those aren't the permanent wires.  we had an old 50' extention cord that was used and the wires will have a strap across them so they can't be pulled out.

Looks good to me, Do you need a 67 ignition switch with key? Might be able to get you door locks too. Let me know, Keep up the good work.

finally some headway has been made.  

headliner

Image

yes i know it has a chip in it but i didn't feel like fitting another.

Image

newer springs

Image

they have settled a little but not a whole lot.  i've gained about 2 inches of height

Image

and i finally got around to changing out the ignition switch to one that i have a key for.

well, turns out when you put more than a couple gallons of gas in, the hesitation almost completley goes away.  :doh:

i was surprised on how well the pain buffed out. i imagine it hasn't seen much percipitation though.  the last time it got inspected was '88.  the 67' has a good looking grille i agree, but i like the 68-69 better because of the bold center bar.  that and i had already painted the one that is on there for another truck.

narrowed it down to a faulty/missing accelorator pump spring.  we rigged up an external one and it's running real smooth
