I guess ill start one of these its still currently being built but heres some pictures. its been mostly a weekend over nighter type project when I was in KS, so its been a long build. Lemme know what everyone thinks I can take POS and NEG no butt hurt here. day I got her now to the tear down the inline 6 had a bad water pump and would of cost me what I paid for this motor heres the new motor out of a 66 c10 Which now looks like this cleaned up the old valve covers to hang on the wall bolted this T-5 WC with 13" clutch to her and we made some shop motor mounts to bolt her in. ripped out the rear axle leaf springs made lil mess Front ripped apart for cleaning and such a 92 s10 4x4 blazer rear axle was donated to the car so here it is all cleaned up ready to go under and now time to bag it! sorry I don't have any of the front setup right now but will soon but heres the back the bars above for the 4 link got painted the same bright green as the drums. Clearance test Approved! Now im medically retired from the army so moving from Kansas to Virginia I will update in few days again a bunch of photo's hope this is enough for satisfaction lol
thanks, heres some more sitting in her new home miscellaneous body work, onto the inside before and new door panels hand made by myself bench seats out of a Cadillac deville rear doors off for repairs on the bottom and around the area it seals to the car, best thing is all home built right now the rear is in primer got to do some filling, grinding, sanding so on etc. gas tank pulled cleaned it and primer and protective paint thrown on it, trunk just put back on busted a bolt so got to pull back off to pull it ugh...
ok so some small updates, sanding the body looking for rot or dents etc, fixed few dents and didnt find any rot YaY! took the rear bumber space thing and fiberglassed it to the body got the new radiator installed theres a stainless steel over flow tank next to it now to go to work inside still tinkering with my shifter got some shiny for the car sound deadend the floor used FatMat, framing in the back seat i dont have a pic but speakers are in under the seat and it is screwed down now, seats are out of a Cadillac Deville i believe a 96 model anyways to the pics. doing all work in house no professional shops.
New tierods, rear axle converted to disc brakes, Lake pipes installed cut up a set of headman headers to 90 out behind front tire. Dash has been sanded down and cut into to put my air gauges inbeded some into it, most the dents have been pulled and repaired. The car is 99% undercoated and rust free
didnt think the Stock brakes would do so well so Rear: Front: Then out with the old brake booster In with the new one, bench tested and now got to install under the car. Its from ( Walton Fabrications) only place that ive found that sells this kit. Now just need to run and plum all the lines. and find a proportion valve for this setup. Also the car is fully in primer just havent taken any pictures Also got a new (used) windshield slowly getting parts but progress.
