Youre wasting no time man. What's cool is that when you get the mechanicals taken care of, youll have a really nice truck to drive. Interior and exterior already look good.

[lime1982]

Yes the picture was pistons .I agree it looked almost intentional the breaks both looked just alike and clean. Thanks for kind words. My goal is just to have a nice looking truck that is clean and dependable. I wanna be able to drive her wherever.

That is a good looking truck, not to mention a good looking Jeep in the background. I'm liking that you are carrying the bright green throughout the truck. My Jeep has it's share of bright green.

You and me both. My Jeep build is linked to my signature. I am building my Square for a tow rig for the Jeep since it isn't quite street legal anymore.

[lime1982]

I just glanced over there definitely gonna take the time to read your build . It looks like your a talented man from the metal work.

[lime1982]

Rolling along

[daddyjeep]

That motor looks purty.

[lime1982]

Thank you . My dang headers wouldn't work drivers side hit motor mount.if anyone reads this please let me know what works as far as headers?

Am I reading this right? Your notches turned out so nice. Why wouldn't you do a propper patch on the firewall?

[lime1982]

Yes you read it right,and I probably should have went a different route on firewall. But as the title says this is the first time I've tried building anything and I'm learning as I go .

[lime1982]

Got part of summit serpentine stuff installed power steering pulley didn't fit shaft. I have to drill it out. My block hugger headers also didn't work. I ordered a set of patriot mid lengths for a chevelle . I hope they work. Hopefully Friday is the day I crank her up I'm pretty excited.
