where did I leave this at??? after messing with some other things it is time to get back on this project and make sure it is running for the summer shows. I have went to a few swap meets and collected some more parts and ideas, so now I just need to keep putting it together. I finaaly got a 4.3l v6 that I have heard run,so I think it is all good and I found out that the trans I had that I thought was a 4l60e is actually a 700r4 and it is supposed to be a good trans. made a transmission cross member. welded the motor mounts and trans. cross member to the frame, so that is done. cut out the fire wall and floor so the body would fit back on. now I am working on the rear end and suspension. took the old rear end out brought in a ford 9'' that i had laying around and started to cut all the old brackets off it. now I just need to figure out what coil springs and shocks I am going to run and find some bat wings or make some and get those welded onto the axle. slow and un steady work, but I think I will see it drive in a few months.

[QUOTE="jawman, post: 218225, member: 8370"] where did I leave this at??? after messing with some other things it is time to get back on this project and make sure it is running for the summer shows. I have went to a few swap meets and collected some more parts and ideas, so now I just need to keep putting it together. I finaaly got a 4.3l v6 that I have heard run,so I think it is all good and I found out that the trans I had that I thought was a 4l60e is actually a 700r4 and it is supposed to be a good trans. made a transmission cross member. welded the motor mounts and trans. cross member to the frame, so that is done. cut out the fire wall and floor so the body would fit back on. now I am working on the rear end and suspension. took the old rear end out brought in a ford 9'' that i had laying around and started to cut all the old brackets off it. now I just need to figure out what coil springs and shocks I am going to run and find some bat wings or make some and get those welded onto the axle. slow and un steady work, but I think I will see it drive in a few months.
