"Maybe I should change directions and make this build a Gasser."
If I wasn't 95% sure you are joking :confused:[S I'd have started this post a little different:D
 
Lookin great! I love your lift system.
Thanks kenny.
I've got 6 lifting points in my shop. Biggest drawback is the truss height. 8' to the bottom of the trusses. I over came some of that by building a Gantry lift that fits in between the trusses. The cross piece for that is at 10'. I had to pull the SBC in my wife's old boat and had to get the pan up above 7 feet to clear the boat deck so I pulled it up to the truss bottoms and then turned the engine sideways and lifted it up the rest of the way between the trusses.:cool:[cl:p

It would have been done by now. OI.:eek:[ddd
More stuff off the list today.
Cut out the spare tire well.
Went after the DS lower cowl area.
I wanted this to wrap under so I can box it in for strength. I used the OLD repro rocker skins that were put on the car before I bought it.:D
Beat, but still good steel. Just needed some trimming.
Tomorrow I will put in the piece where my ground is clamped to. It will connect to the new piece as well as the new inner rocker skin.
I will also connect and reinforce the firewall foot mount from the back side.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping in...

Doesn’t really matter what it looks like since it will be hid, just has to work![ddd
I think it will do the job just fine Torchie.[cl[cl[cl
 
If it’s low enough, won’t anybody be able to see the bottom side. That, and black paint are how I’m doing mine, too.

This all gets covered by the fender anyways, Bama.
I discovered something important today.
S-10 fenders are held on with 6 bolts and 27 wiring harness clips attached to the inner fenders.:eek: :p [ddd [ddd
PS lower cowl all done . [;) [;)
Thanks for visiting...
Keep on keeping on.

Rumor had it that my one friend is coming over in the morning with the expressed purpose of getting the rest of the S10 stripped down.
One can only hope.😎
Torchie
 
You have more than one friend. We're just a little too far away to make a weekend trip. Still watching and learning.[P[P[P

Thanks kenny.:)
Finished stripping the S 10.
Somebody at some point tried to take this thing apart..... or something.:eek:
They cut the main wiring harness that goes through the firewall and under the dash.:eek::(
I guess that at this point IF I keep the 4.3 I will convert it to a carb.
I just want to get the chassis under the Dodge body to see what's what.
Perhaps tomorrow.
I know that the 2 mounting points for the box will have to go. And perhaps the cross member that went over the now removed gas tank.
Thanks for stopping by...
