Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

I understand sloooooooooow! I haven't posted any new stuff for 3 reasons. Direction, weather, and finances! My lack of direction over the last month was mainly because I was being strung along for a rebuilt long block at $500.00. I finally got an email yesterday saying he sold the block. I responded with where was I not clear that I wanted to buy it, but know some info first! I'm sure I'll be glad in the long run I didn't go there. But in the meantime, I've held up on a number of ways to go foward, due to if I got the engine, that would be the priority. So now I think tackling the wire harness first, might be the way to go, once I get those pesky brake lines in. Since it's dry this week, I'll roll the truck out of the garage and finish the brakes if it kills me!
The "one thing at a time" mantra, seems to help! I realize it will be an on going project, so setting up goals for different things to work on will be a must, and sticking to them. My first goal is to get it drivable, so I can figure out what needs to be done to keep it that way, so for now brakes and wiring are a good start!
I look foward to Dan's progress. You had mentioned earlier in this post that shipping costs alone on Project 3K were a killer! Now I understand! What do you know about Summit's universal wiring harnesses? Is it worth the extra cash to use a Painless harness instead?
