almost laying on 20's (pics)

Looks good can't wait to see more pics. Progress is always a good thing.
Just remember that the wife might be upset but the first time you take her for a cruise it is all worth it.
Good luck.

Have an exhaust shop cut off that pipe and bring it down from the manifold and cross it over behind the transmission and then Y it together. If you drag it down it gets very flat and small = restricted!

doing it all yourself? props

i wish, the reason it's so low is Barry Wiser tubbed the firewall and relocated all the stuff on it, so props to him. i've either done or helped do everything else on it. the only thing i dropped it off at a shop for was the alarm w/remote start (i have no idea about those), and they rammed it backwards into their garage door so the boss told them not to work on it anymore. luckily my ass end was in primer.

I love those wheels!!

Maybe that's why I got 'em!

i have'nt seen them on anything else, i got them because they're KMC Mavens and they came out 6 months after my daughter Maven was born.

Did you keep the ac?

yes, but it's still at Barry's shop. He started to mod a stock airbox for a friend of ours, and the dude got a vintage air setup given to him, so he just used that and had to trim a little more for it to work. he's gonna fiberglass it for me and give it back. After glassing and painting the dash and a pillar covers, all i got left is putting it back together.

here's some pics in daylight, i did'nt get to work on it at all, i'm too tired right now cause i had to jack with the lawnmower for an hour and a half (changed the belt, then the drive belt broke, then the spring that turns off the blades broke, then i found out both back tires were flat, woo hoo) and i had to dig a hole for a freaking goldfish pond. Anyway, here's some new pics, basically just better quatity. i'll take better pics when i start messing with it and take the wheels and fenders off and stuff.









i know i'm gonna have to move the wires, i just laid them on the wheel this morning to get them out of the elements, but other than that i can start putting the engine compartment together. Still gotta figure out where to put the battery, computer, and overflow, i'm gonna put the fuse box against the drivers side rad support.

What size tires you runnin?? Did you have to notch your frame for tie rods?

you could buy one of the small billet overflows off ebay or a hotrod shop they dont take up hardly any room.. look good too

255/30/20's, and the guy who helped me with the firewall and stuff said that i did'nt have to notch for tie rods unless it was bodydropped, since he's done a helluva lot more than me, i tend to believe him. I might do it anyway, though, just to be sure.

im running 245/35/20 and i have to notch my frame for the tie rods
