I really like the side trim in the first rendering. I like how the reveal begins at the bottom of the rear side glass.

You know it's comments like this that put you one step lower on the ladder everyday.

Mr Davis your "62" truck frame is completed.

Well Time for some pics. Here is shot of the Magnuson Super charger bolted to the LSX-376 with the Wegner front drive system meant for these blowers. It runs the blower belt behind the water pump and relocates the drive system forward. The valve covers are from Katech. The engine will be DBW and will incorporate our new line of wiring harness's that will come wrapped and equipped with mil-spec connectors.

The car when I bought it seemed really solid. But after I got done having the car dipped we found that the outer rocker and floors were pretty solid but that somehow the inner rockers we junk I'm not sure how that happens. So of course that takes quite a bit of work to cut out perfectly solid rockers and floors to get to the inner rockers.

The quarters had the typical trace rust on the lower edge and the outer wheel tub was JUNK. Since we knew we wanted the car as low as possible and wanted to run a 295 rear tire. We went ahead and built some rear wheel tube to maximize the room over stock and not have to rework the stock wheel tubs because of rust and shape.

Now as you can see in this picture the peak on the replacement quarter was not the same as the doors. To some people that small thing might be addressed with Bondo, but we went ahead and cut in new metal we formed to match the doors so there are no paint shrinkage issues and its right.

Now that's HOT! Nice ol' boat of Greg's that it's going in and all but that is a sweet looking LSX setup right there.

Looking forward to watching this build - Ironworks quality build all the way!

Well I hope you finish as this was going to be cool.

However Greg, If you are paying storage on this little thing and don't want the gaskets to shrink from sitting let me know. I can throw it in my car to keep it circulating until you are ready

I think I have a buyer for the project and should know more in a few days. He is interested in the project where is it and how it is and the direction it is currently going.

We should be receiving quite a few machined parts and lots of other parts we have been waiting on here very shortly. I will continue to post. The taillights are awesome.

Sounds like it'll work out well for everyone.

Well whoever owns it I want to see the build continue. I hope you keep the updates coming.

I didn't want to hurt Greg's feelings but now that he's out hopefully the new owner will go with something other than Intros. That was the only thing holding the build back.
