 But it is getting a new life.
cut the bell off the truck trans today
used an old gutted pump housing to mount in brake lathe
followed directions> took a saw to it
but first cut a reference mark on the inside
then  cleaned up the cut.

OK so you cut the small block bell off to weld on a big block bell.

OK I see............

moving on
finished the bracing for the rear
housing weighs 49 lbs
next is to fit the wilwood disc hat
and caliper brackets.
(housing just resting/ sitting waiting on installation)

got the rear end squared in the cage
set the eng and trans to get ride height and body placement.
start building a fire wall/cock-pit

dang both headers through the passengers side! 

 

Very cool! 

got the hood and fenders aligned, lookin at ideas for the windshield.
only need half

 

Oh yeah looks good man.

That thing looks bada$$!   

Very cool looking with the top on. 

That's just sweet. 

Now if only you could make one of those street legal. 

Only problem is he needs a gas station every 1/4 mile

gonna clean up the bolt on parts
while the paint cures 

Been a busy few months
major flood here (Nashville,tn)
April 20 was 27' ABOVE flood stage of 17'
mom's house flooded
have been tearing out walls and carpet
throwing out all appliances.

 parts I ordered were returned cause they couldn't boat the parts to an address
some parts i went to pick up, were soaking wet, that bussiness also was flooded
was 2 weeks before i coud even get to town due to high water or blocked /washed out roads

Thought I was keeping my head above water
mom passed away june 17

It will be a bit longer, I'll be back, lots of things to take care of first
I did finally get the shear/bender
temp set the body on to do the tin work

Thanks to everyone for the interest in this build
