Im really not sure how i want to build it yet.

Here are a few pics from last June right after i got it back together from having to do some paint work(i hate wet roads)



17's just to see if i liked the look



Im going to build a smallblock for it, put i just dont know what CI i want, I have been thinking 302 LT1 to 396 LT1 and from a 355 to a 406

I want to truck arm the back so bad, but i never have shop space open, im always working on everone else stuff, i guess that part of running a shop.

hey zz4, are those seats you have from summit? cause i have the same ones and from mocking them into my first gen, they are way too high. how did you get yours to sit so low? im thinking i have to make a portion of the floor flat just to get the seat low enough, and i am only 5' 9", head is 1" from headliner

Yep, summit seats. I live 10 minutes from there, and found a few on the discount table...couldnt pass up the deal.

Anyhow, are you using the brackets that came on them? It looks that way int he picture. I tried using a stock s-10 bucket seat bracket, and they were too tall like that. Using the bracket that came on them worked fine for me, but I did "massage" the floor some. I flattened the front ridge in the floor to get the angle right.

I honestly dont know how much room I have to the headliner. I dont think the 2nd gens are any taller than a 1st. Im 6" and 172lbs, and the seat fits pretty much perfect for me. Stuff like that drives me nuts if its not just right.

Wow that tube chassis deal could sure use some Exhaust stacks and a flatbed. That would complete the oakie vibe that guy puts off
