Default Re: Updated pics of my project

Thanks Mike. That is what I thought, and that is how I did it.

Have to admit the detail is a bit of a two edged sword. I really like getting things right, but it is easy to get so bogged down in details that I wonder if I will ever get it done.

Spent about 45 minutes this today removing and replacing the lower control arm bolts because they were in backwards according to the aim. Would they have worked OK that way? Of course, but I just couldn't leave them.

Despite all the original details, I am deviatiing quite a bit with the bolt ons. I did put some old Koni shocks in the front (the old GM shocks are pathetic). These Koni's are stiff stiff stiff, but provide more control. Also, and again, despite all the original details, I put some old S&S headers on last night. If I had known what a pita they were going to be I would have put the exhaust manifolds back on. Oh well, should run better anyway.

Will try and get some engine pics this weekend. May fire it up and break in the cam tomorrow or Sun.

Engine & tranny are sitting in there right now. Will install a driveshaft tomorrow.
