Working on getting the radiator and cooling fan sorted out. With a shroud I'm about 1/2" too wide. I can try mounting the fan on the inside of the shroud, mount the fan on the radiator and not use...

The tank was originally mounted to the left frame rail and to the spare tire well. Since I removed the spare tire well I can now center the tank and run the exhaust pipe down each side,

Been working on getting the fuel tank installed. I clean it up and painted it with Eastwood tank refinisher. The 69 year old tank looked brand new inside. I was amazed!

Working getting the engine all connected. Digging through boxes to see if I have what I need is a chore

Scraped, brushed, and ground the bottom clean and coated with Eastwood rust converter and indercoat.

I built the exhaust head pipe using the pipe I removed from my Camaro SS when I change to headers.

I installed new rear shocks in the stock location and on the Chevy rear end. Everything lined up like it was made that way....

Wow, it's been almost 9 years, 4 car, 2 motorcycle projects and neck surgery since I've posted anything on this project. I have been working on it the last 6-7 months.
I have finished the frame...

A couple more with the headers on.

I dropped the engine onto the chassis and the pan on the engine I'm using is different than on my mock up. :mad: I need to either use the mock-up pan or notch the cross member.

I can get the...

Thanks and yes I know exactly what you mean about work! Wished I could quit and do what I really want to. But I haven't figured out any other way to make money to support my car habit.

Putting the front suspension together. I cut one coil off the springs and will set the engine in the frame to see how it sits.

I've started assembling the suspension on the finished fram and running brake and fuel lines.

I finished media blasting the frame last weekend. Today I got the bottom half of the frame primered. Went out ot the the shop about 9 am and fired up my 2 heaters by about 2 PM it was almost 60...

Hey, I never received that check for the truck. So I'm keeping it!

No, we have real winters here. Iit snowed yesterday and has been highs of 40's. We may be desert but we get 2-4 feet of snow...

Ran the rear brake line on the inside of the drives side. Used 1/4" steel.

Stripped every thing off of the frame and I'll finish welding up a few things and grind some others.

I also put the headers on the mock-up engine to check clearances. I needed to trim a little off the inside flange on the frame.

I extended the left side trans mount and welded both on.

Here are some pictures of the rear shocks. I just need to cut a couple os...

Worked on the transmission crossmember next. I had made one before but didn't make anything for the exhaust pipe to runn through. So I got one off some Chevy and will use it.

Got the car on the dolly and moved them around so I could work on them both. I'm running out of room!

Finally pulled the body off the frame just a little bit to go and I'll get it on the dolly.
