Thanks for all the compliments everybody. I love the point the cars at now because its all coming together. A little bit off work leads to a lot of visual progress.
Roof is on. I welded the front/back and the where it meets the quarter but used 3M body panel glue in the drip rails to keep it clean. It came out really well. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02087.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02089.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02094.jpg Good visual on the cage fitment with the roof on. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02097.jpg LS1 6-speed from an 04 GTO. Came with 35000 miles on it. Cleveland pick apart sells a really complete package. It made the LS conversion really cheap. You couldn't build a cast iron small block for this price and it bolts in to the Detroit speed frame like it was made for it. All i had to do was bolt on a stock F-body oil pan, and a VA AC compressor and it fits fine. :D :D :D http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02100.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02099.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02098.jpg |

The rear is done and powdercoated. The stange axles and center is on order. It should be here in a week or two.
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02139.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02183.jpg We made a crossmember out of some rectangular tube and flatbar. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02180.jpg We also got the DSE subframe connectors done. When the car goes on the rotisserie we'll finish the welding http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02176.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02177.jpg The engine is in the subframe and the american racing headers are in. It's so much more gratifying when you pay for the parts yourself. The f-body oil pan and pickup tube were also need for it to fit. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02170.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02171.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02173.jpg amazing ground clearance http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02163.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02150.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02147.jpg And no i'm not running the skinnies... Those are the only wheels we have that clear the spindle lol |
I also got new seats from the junkyard. They are from a 91 honda prelude....... :willy:
But they are really supportive and have adjustable side bolsters. http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02157.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02158.jpg This gives you a better idea of how well the cage fits and how large the side bolsters are. I know the seats are kinda funky looking, but they're cheap http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02156.jpg And the stock GTO shifter is in the perfect position. We got lucky on that one :thumbsup: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...o/DSC02166.jpg |
Awesome Ken. She's moving right along.:thumbsup:
Is that your dad's truck in one of those pics? That white "old school" ice cream truck? Looks pretty cool. |

Than begins the body work....... :willy: |
