more of battery trays and a porterbuilt piece to mount all the accuair controls....jim

Great fab skills!
Good to see some more on this truck!
Thanks for posting!

Any updates?

Slightly here's chassis almost together....wiring and plumbing now...jim

Nice looking chassis, be a shame to put a body over it.

That's what the wife says....."who's going to see it"?? ...... answer......"I will"

Sunday plumbing pics...just ran brake and fuel hardlines and finished up air lines............jim

impressive!

Very cool! :thumbsup:

Back on the rubbers with air ride working.....jim

What he said.

Wow killer job!

No idea how I missed this update. Congrats on getting it this far, Jim. You're doing fantastic work.

Wow is all I can say!

Ok guys...finally got drivetrain in and mostly done.....but if u look close that's not an ls3 as originally planned....due to the large amount of money I had to outlay on the black widow clone next to it.....So i pulled out my true 10 to 1 patriot headed ramjet 355.....and the intake is still at Advanced in Nashville.....Trans. is a modded 700r....The plan is to eventually put this pair in the widow and "ls" the truck.....The 8-9k difference in what i want and this drivetrain I already had was the deciding factor for now...but i set this truck up for ls so goin back won't be difficult...This motor combination was ran in a orange 55 2 dr wagon on the Hot Rod Power Tour a year ago...3100 miles in a week...well tested!.....more later....jim

that chassis is beautiful and I would gladly give up the ls engine to have the car in the pic,very nice

It's got a solid shaft 327/4 speed..342 geared...blast to drive........

That looks amazing Jim. I wish I had 5% of your talent, ( or lived really close ! ):bow: Beautiful job.

Looks really nice.

ps Link to the Black Window ???

bought this car from friend....he bought 3 years ago off of ebay.....documents show it was built by former crew chief of Mike Edwards (former pro stock driver).....lots of "old school" stuff ...some I changed..some I kept...4 whl disc..lowered 3 in".....tubular a-arms...17's......cam almost 2 big for street but a blast 2 drive.....black and no a.c. make for late night driving!!.....lol.....jim

It's hard to beat a great sounding SBC. Besides, that one looks great sitting in your chassis.

Very nice

Chassis is looking good Jim! I'm falling further behind! Ugh

Ok, so what's happening with this?

I have a pro touring 68 GMC C1500 and now building a 73 Camaro.

Nice to see the trucks here. Mine's Porterbuilt front, my own brew in the rear.

Still workin on it...working paint and interior colors out so i can get cab painted....jim

Awesome. Mine's in my own paint prison, after I let a hack work on it.

Finally got squared away on color and finished dash before putting cab back on rotiserrie .......can u say "Retro"?? ................jim

And back on rotiserie to finish bottom of cab ...paint by next week....jim

Oh, that's going to look great!

I can say SWEEEEEEEEEEET! You joked about being done before me !

Bottom done.....firewall next from pinch welds up to w.s....and then cab and jambs last ......lot easier for me in small shop (as compared to G.W.'s...lol) to paint in stages...lot of control and better outcome......and you'll never tell were i started or ended!!....lol.......and Waynie z when you read this it is 25* here and i'm 70 miles from the Gulf!!!!!......WTH........jim

Jim You told me your would be done first! Very Nice! I think its cold everywhere! 2 below 0 this morning but I think its going up to 25 tomorrow Like Summer!

I don't know about first....i'm real slow!!.....Wait till you see the new "cabliner" that marquez has made for me and others.....also a very trick close out panel over grille....pics when they get here.....look at this link on my buddy Eric's "tootsie" truck....here is his cabliner being upholtered....really trick....jim

Wow beautiful truck. Those panels look Sweet! The person who did that stitching did a great job. I'd love to get my Camaro dash done in leather but would need a second mortgage. They did a beautiful job. who stitched the interior?

I believe that was in Marquez's shop...the liner is pricey but u get that money (plus) back being able to "bench" fit the uphostery rather than having to work each panel "in cab".....my guy tells me half price ...so cabliner more than pays for itself besides the convenience ....jim

It came out nice!

Looks sweet!

oh man, very nice build!

New parts for c 10's from Marquez just arrived......new cab liner and grille closeout panel.....unreal glass work......firewall painted...cut and buff in a couple of days............jim

Looking good man.

I am interested in the Marquez close out panel.
