Hi Cal,

Great looking project and I am really looking forward to watching this build and I love the back story.

Great progress Cal! I enjoyed meeting you at Scottsdale

Yeah, that which ones they are. I also got to meet with Forgeline at SEMA to see them in person. The frontend is getting the worx right now, once that is done and i've saved a little more money, the rear end and wheels will come at once....but that buckets running a little dry right now as i just completed the LS swap and have to redo a couple of things...

Thanks Tim and I appreciate the time you took to talk with Paul and I. Your car is great and getting your input helped me make some decisions on mine. I decided to go with the 10.5 front wheel and DSE verified the offset, thanks for your help. Have a good Christmas.

Cal.

Yes sir, ZX-3. Remember to watch the offset and Caliper sizing if you chose to reverse the fasteners. Let me know if you need anymore details.

Thanks, Cal.

Looks like it will be a cool build! Looking forward to seeing it come together. I'm starting a second gen build myself.

We'll the Christmas week didn't allow too much time for working on the shop but I did manage to get the DSE tubs in and some welding on the cage done. As I talked before, I also was able to grab a few pictures of paul's latest project.

Here's a couple of pics of Paul's latest project. It was a completely stock truck except the motor when we started. It's completely done and runs and drive great.

Here is the reworked dash. I cut a dash out of another 71 at our friends wrecking yard(Pasco Auto Wrecking) and used pieces to reconfigure our dash to accept the flat screen and vintage air controls.

Here is the engine bay equipped with a new LY-6 with a Mast cam and controller.i smoothed the firewall and completely reworked the core support, removing those pinch welds on the top and filling about a hundred holes. Paul built a new radiator mount that completely hides everything.

Man i really like that c-10, soooo clean.

Your cage is nice and tidy, whose is it?

Nice C-10!!

It's DSE. I was able to see it in my father in laws car before I bought it and it does tuck away nicely. They also send you base plates for the rocker and trunk, a midbar right behind the seats with a coupler to make it removable.

Thanks , Cal.

Thanks. It was a fun project and drives like a new car. The goal was to keep it very simple, yet arm it with all the new amenities a new truck would have.although I'm not a fan of messing with these trucks too much, I think we pulled it off without sacrificing the great original look.

Love the Camaro nice work your doing!!

Nice C10!!!

So what's the frame hiding in this picture??? :peepwall:

Thank you. It's a Morrison chassis for a 55 Nomad. That's my father in laws next project. We are building this one too, minus the chassis of course. It's going to be a nice car. Art and Craig live about 80 miles from us and they are great to work with. The day before my wedding Art and Craig gave a few of us in the wedding a full tour of the shop and then of Art's personal shop at his house. Great day with great guys.

Nice job.

Love the look of that C10!

Thank you.

2nd Gen Fan Subscribed. Very nice work so far.

Thank you. Unfortunately I won't get back to the shop until after Barrett-Jackson. I just received my trans and Wilwood pedal assembly along with the master cylinders and bias adjuster. I'm excited to get back and start maching things up.

Thanks, Cal.

Great build! Love watching the progress pics. Imyself own a 1972 Z28. And seeing this makes me want to get started again on mine. Two heart attacks and two strokes have really set me back. Im not giving up thought, keep thinking that the doorbell will ring and Chip Foose will overhaul my car Lol! you did a excellent job of replacing the rear quarter. And the roof is perfect. Keep up the good work,and keep the photos coming. Great to see a second gen getting the make over.

Thanks and keep pushing forward. I just got a couple more goodies and I will post more pics this weekend. Again, thank a lot.

Cal

subscribed. love seeing the progress pics. the other "eye candy" is pretty sweet as well. Those C10's are super cool.

It's been a while since I've been in the shop but here is some photos of new goodies and progress I made today in the shop. A good friend of mine has taken three days to help me install all the rear DSE quadralink, finish wheel tubs and button up a bunch of miscellaneous fab work(Thanks Shad). We made some good progress today and plan on working two more days with hopes of having the car on its wheels and tires by Sunday night.

I just received all Brake pedal assemble, master cylinders and bias bar adjuster. I'm hoping to have them mached up by Sunday.

Here are a couple pics of the quadralink mounts all tacked in.

Passenger side.

Drivers side

Here is some pics of the progress today. Doesn't seem like much but there is a ton of welding.

Here is the upper link pockets from the inside.

Drivers side frame rail doubler.

Track bar support and clips. If it's not installed correctly now, I might as well crush the car, because there is no way you could dig this stuff back out.

I thought I would also post a pic of my shorty I have for sale. It's a 78 Heavy Half pretty much completely loaded. It's only missing power windows and door locks. It's 99.9% rust free and runs and drives great. The only thing missing is a wheel opening molding and the jack that mounts on the passenger side inner fender. I'm asking 5800.00 and it's located in Pasco, Washington. PM me if anyone wants more info or pics. I was going lower it, wheels and tires and swap a 5.3 in and it but have too many cars going right now.

Thanks, Cal.

I managed to put some time in on the car today and hopefully Some more Saturday and Sunday. I finished welding in the lower 4 link pockets this morning and those of you that are familiar with DSE's quadralink know you re-use the original spring pocket as the new mount. I bolted on the front stub and almost finished the rear of the car. I also dropped a plumb bob from several points on the car and squared up the front stub. Tomorrow I'm cutting in the frame connectors, installing the 3rd member and axles, bolting on some rollers and getting it on the ground. I'm shooting to start the remainder of the cage on Sunday.

I know these are pretty standard pics but this project is tough when having limited time and resources. I'm only short a bellhousing and motor at this point but plan on getting those on the way soon.

One more. I will post more pics of my progress tomorrow. Thanks, Cal.

Thats coming along mighty fine....from a gen 2 admirerer.....

Thank you, Cal.

Agreed! You're doing way more than me that's for sure.
