Yelcamino 2.0

Looks awesome Herb. I had a local guy who I believe is a friend of yours named Mike Holleman who told me about the site. I got a lot of inspiration from your C10 build and will be starting a thread soon on my 66 C10 build.

Yep I know Mike - he's a great guy! Looking forward to seeing your C10 build!

I like how you did your harness bar. I was thinking of going under the package shelf in my 67. But after looking at yours it is giving me ideas!! Thanks, chris

Thanks!

I originally wanted it below the shelf but there isn’t a good solid place to mount the bar because of the small access panels. I ended up with backing plates inside the pillar to which the bar ends bolt to. The center down bar bolts to a 1/4" thick steel plate that's part of the floor bracing on the trans tunnel.

Very cool to see where this is going after following your 63 build over on the c10 site, really like the dimpled electronics tray and the way you tied the rear bar into the console, really nice work!

Yeah, I hope to get started soon. Gathering parts is always the hard part.

Yesterday was a good day... I got my wheels back from Forgeline with fresh powdercoating and new tires!

Not much new to report. I did get some stuff back from the powdercoating guy including the fan shroud and cap cover for the PRC radiator...



Other than that, I'm working on remodeling the kitchen for my wife. I guess she thought now would be a good time.

I was able to get away from the house project for a bit this weekend and I actually made some progress.

I finally got the Baer ReMaster installed, bent some new brakes lines, and bled the system (in case you're curious, that's a Ring Brothers clutch master on the firewall).



No pictures, but I finished installing the Vintage Air Gen IV system.

And the big accomplishment, I got the engine in!







This afternoon I installed the flywheel and clutch. The plan this week is to get the trans in place and either get the engine harness in or start on the exhaust system...
