Passenger side is next!

nice job :cheers:

A small update....
Passenger side drip rail is welded in. Panels were test fitted and I'm happy so far.

Trunk pan removal has started
DSE tubs are here
JRS front suspension is ordered and should ship next week!
5.3 LM7 truck engine free of charge has been found (just have to ship it in)

Engine build plans are under investigation. Debating stroker kits and top end packages. Targeting around 500hp at the crank. Truckin magazine did a good project with the LM7 and went through all these options so I'm using that as a bit of a guide.

With the baby here there hasn't been any time to do much actual work to the car over the last six weeks (actually none). Maybe some spare time will arise soon!

JRS Apex C6 Front Suspension is in... took a bit longer than planned to get it here, but it's here. Still missing a few bits and pieces, but I test assembled most of it this weekend. Once I get the missing pieces, the frame will go for e-coat and final assembly will be done. Overall the quality seems pretty damn good, especially on the frame. Some long and impressive welds.

I'm from the Flint area, doing a 64 chevelle wagon.

I also bought a JRS frame for my 68 Camaro from Jake and was impressed with the quality, good luck with the build!

Awesome! A buddy of mine is building a 65 Chevelle in Lapeer. If you need suspension let me know. He helped design one!

Thanks! Waiting on the shocks from Bilstein forever. Then I just need time!

Any Updates?
 

What's next? How about some pics, we all love pics.

PPG DP90 Epoxy primer is what you want after blasting. Will seal everything and you can bodywork right over it!
