Lots of elbow grease and the frames got a fresh coat of paint. Pulled all the old brake lines out and will be installing the SS ones I have this week. Next on the list is to prep and paint firewall.

Thanks, try to keep progress rolling. This is way better then 3 months of rust replacement

Looking good man, you do nice work. Is your garage heated at home?

Thanks, I built the garage probably 6 years ago. It's 24x30 with 11' ceilings, I insulated all the walls and ceiling and hung sheetrock which made a big difference. I have a small Bottle Dawg heater but if I leave it on 50 its fine. Natural gas is awsome my bill is usually 200 bucks for the whole winter

Lots and lots of scraping and sanding this morning. Need to patch a few holes and it's ready for primer. I really want to do vintage air setup to clean up firewall

[nastety92]

Looking good almost there. Are you going to paint the engine bay black or green again?

Firewall is going to match green, picked up base clear for that. I have to paint the new inner fenders black and might do bottom of hood black as well because it's pretty rusty and the black will hide it better

[04ls1gto]

Got some work done on the firewall and installed aeromotive stealth fuel pump in tank. My vintage air setup should be here Tuesday and Ill start welding in firewall plate. Hoping to test fit motor and trans this upcoming weekend.

More pics, also started mocking up Corvette fuel filter

[nastety92]

Looking good. That is the setup he used in my truck as well. Corvette fuel filter with built in regulator. We went with an external pump though. Can't wait to see this truck this year. Hopefully we can meet up once the weather gets nicer and my truck is actually roadworthy.

My goal is having it on the road end of may. Not sure if I'm gonna make it but gonna give it he'll. Definitely have to meet up once we're on the road

Nice progress!

[04ls1gto]

Vintage air kit came in and very pleased with the quality. Welded in the firewall plate and body worked it. Finished prep on firewall and shot some epoxy primer. Next step is to test fit motor and trans

[04ls1gto]

Motor is in and test fit went well. Stands are in forward position and speed engineering plates all the way back. Headers fit great, going to need a little clearance on the belhousing where starter mounts. Also looks like I'll be able to keep the low hump floor and just trim lip between firewall and floor. Making progress

[nastety92]

Looks great, your making some good progress now. Must be a nice feeling when everything is finally test fit and you know all the parts work together.

Is the motor stock and is it going to stay that way?

Thanks, I upgraded to a 216/220 texas speed cam and PAC springs, trunion upgrade and new head gaskets. I wanted a mild cam as my gto has a good sized cam and driveability suffered a little. The 350 that was in the burb had maybe 175hp so the 6.0 should be much better. Excited to get the painting done and get on with putting back together

[Hart_Rod]

Looking good, .

[Duraburb]

sweet build! Looking forward to the progress!

[04ls1gto]

Firewall is green now. I am by no means a body and paint guy, but I'm not afraid to try. Paint came out nice, I could have spent a lot more time on body work. I am very happy with results as it's my first time spraying base/ clear coat.

[Advanced Design]

Came out nice. Good work!

Been working on little things for the past few weekends. Got the brakes all back together and bleed, power steering lines are done. Harness is on and into cab of truck. Headers are on and I built a trans cross member this morning. Exhaust and get the front sheet metal back on is next

[nastety92]

Looking great man, keep it up.

[04ls1gto]

Looking like a truck again! Got the front sheet metal back on and installed cold case radiator and fan setup which was super easy. Drops right into the stock HD brackets and fits like a glove.

Third row seat brackets are done and installed, now I can install the fuel tank and lines for good.
