    It looks like a new truck. I can't wait to see how that trans fits into the floor opening.

  15. Wow! Really looking good.
    Hurry up and get done so you can start on mine.

    Is the peel and stick anything special? HD or Lowe's?

    is that a 260 or 290 hp engine. I like everything about this build from the simple body to the dropped axle to the sbc chev engine you have done a killer job Tom

    I wished someone had told me BEFORE I installed the crossmember, that it needed to be notched for a mechanical fuel pump.....

    Absolutely fantastic!!! The color, the stance, the simplicity are all right on, congrats!
     
  25. The NV3500 you are installing is the one out of the full size pickup, correct? Shifter on the Sonoma/Extreme is a bit further back than that one. Looks like lots of room to the seat.
