It started life as a 1983 GMC Jimmy 2 door 2 wheel drive. The original plan was to build a complete vehicle for less than $2000 (including car) and run 12.50 in the quarter mile. Well, as somethings od when you are not whole hearted about something, that plan got boring. I had the same vehicle...

oh the 66 is just a rusty primer stock height w/ some old chrome wheels truck. it is a big back window tho. lots to do on it still. gotta fab up some seat mounts to level them out, all the small stuff like that. It has been my grandfather's for 31ish years now and he used to be an iron worker...

new to the site, just stopping to say hi. got a build that's in process, but it will be early next wk before i share any of it. I'm about to bounce out of work and go to the shop to build the frame for the roof. gotta run. updates next week. thanks

i am a huge fan of this build. i can't wait to see it w/ sunshine beaming on it! how much longer til you got it driving? just weld the rear and u can make u-turns in 30 yds i bet.

that thing is awesome! good work. keep it up. if you like that kind of stuff, be watching for my build - heehee.

omg, i am digging the 60s truck roadster. that may be the project after the 66 GMC (that is after the current project). so, you may see it 2-3 years.
