Well I have the tranny and motor in. I hit a little set back I was sent the wrong tranny crossmember, it was for a tko600 but too wide. Here are some pics the the motor and tranny in.

I also finished up my fuel lines today. I am waiting for my headers to be finished being built and then I will start on the exhaust.

I installed the vintage air front runner setup a few days ago. This morning I drilled holes in the valve covers for the breathers and put the carb spacer and carb on. Here are some quick pics.

Car looks great! Not to back track to much but, when you used the U-Pol Raptor Liner, how bad is the smell? I have an attached garage and I (more so the wife) don't want it to smell in the house. Thanks

The liner itself it doesn't smell bad it's the catalyst / hardener that's so toxic. My garage smelled like high powered paint for two weeks after I sprayed it. I have an attached garage as well and I was able to keep the smell out of the house no problem. Use thick clear plastic and tape seal it to the house door. If possible, move the car out and line the floor of your garage with plastic as well. Anywhere the liner over spray touches, it stays. Consider the clothes your wearing when garbage when your done. It's a great product, no other bed liner comes close to the finish and ease of cleaning (once it drys). |

Definetly has a strong smell. I wore a respirator, and it still seemed like I had problems breathing for about a week. The floor is definetly stained and clothes were ruined. I left the garage door open and the back door of the garage was open also to get a crossflow and I believed that helped a lot. |
Well since I was busy spending money on other things over the holidays, I thought I would do some cheap work on the car. I grafted 69 parking lamps into a 68 standard lower valance. I was putting this off b/c I thought it would be pain to do, it really didn't turn out to be to difficult. It took me about 12 hrs or so to do. Here are some pics, I will post some pics when I finish up all the welding.

Cool! Should look good with the opening all filled in like that!
|
Looking very cool. nice clean work with that liner.

I am thinking of doing a coilover setup on the rear of my s-10 blazer. If I could find where I could get some mounts like that, it would be very helpful!:cheers: |
I started on my exhaust today. I bought a pypes perfomance universal x-pipe, 4 90* bends, j-bend (used for dumps), 3.5"-3" reducers, and some v-band flanges, magnaflow race series mufflers. Everything is tacked up for now, I will take it to get tig welded. I also need to weld some hangers on.

looks nice.
|
Nice progress!! :cheers:
|
It has been awhile for updates on this car. I have been watching it for awhile. Wondering how it's going. So far, it looks great. Anyone seen any updates lately?
|
No new updates. I was kind of getting burnt out on the project, so I took some time off. I will be starting back up in a few weeks or so. Thanks for showing some interest.

Your progress looks good..

Some great work being done on this car. Hopefully you find the motivation to get back at it soon. :)
|
I'm really impressed with this build :thumbsup:
|
Getting a little more motivated, bought my frontend sheetmetal and hung it tonight. The hood is just laying up there so it should fit better after being bolted up.I will be bending and flaring my brake lines on Sat.
