Love the build! I just read through your post over on CF....about the reaction I was expecting from those guys. I just purchased a pretty mint '69 small block for a similar but less radical project....LS motor, Lemans/Trans Am "influenced" but without the full chasis/cage/flares/etc. I too am of the theory to start a project with the best car you can afford, and you'll save money in the long run....some of the Vette guys just dont get that. Im looking forward to your progress!
I am slowly moving fwd with the frame being powder coated, suspension apart and ready to be cleaned and clear coated. I will order new bushings and ball joints this week
Hope to have the suspension cleaned and clear coated this weekend . I did finally get my Dana 44 and it has 3:92 rear and mated with the LS3/427 it will haul the mail. Hope to order the motor in 2 weeks
