Man as i sit here Time is to slow. I dont get my 32 frame and body till Feb, and that's if it all goes well.

But she ask's so do you have all the money you need to build it?

But i need time to go by before she see whats there.
TIC TIC TOK
AHHHHMAN stop the madness
DAVE the time killer

Waiting for parts is bad enough!!! What you are having to endure rates right up there with Chinese water torture!!!!

Hah,just wait, I'm almost 2 years into the build with lots to go, just wait till your at the inlaws BBQ,wedding,birthday party, thinkin man another wasted day on the hotrod....(LOL)

Plan, plan, plan. That's what I did. And I ordered some of the parts that I knew I would need to get going--gas tank, remote door kit, gauges, etc. I also had the engine and tranny built during this time so it was ready to drop in. I sold another car so I had the money to do some serious shopping. If you are on more of a budget, then concentrate on planning. You can never do enough planning.

One thing to consider is getting things ordered that require the most lead-time.

Some items that can often be a 4-6 weeks are Hoods, radiators, grille inserts, windshield frames, gas tanks, steel fenders, rear end housings, etc.

Get these things ordered now, and if you are on a budget, at least call the vendor you plan to use for these items and check on the availability and/or time frame for delivery on those items.

Good luck.

Well i am bulilding a highboy so fenders are not a prob!
The package come with a Radator and insert and shell.
I donrt know about a windshild frame.
I dont think Ravon use's them.
If they dont how doe's the windshild go in by the way???
I have my eng. sbc 350 350 hp it has everything from pan to carb and flex plate to waterpump and dis, spark pluges and wiers and a 700r4 trans
So i guess i could buy the seat?
Or the column?
i am not going to run a hood. I think for now.
Should i get my rims?
Man ferb is a long way off.
What more should i buy now?

If you want an expsoed tank you might want to order soon. I waited 11 weeks for a 17 gallon. 11 gallon can be had now but the larger steel tanks are on backorder every place

Ok i have my 700r4 now and my eng.
I need a elec trans sencor and i need to get a drive shaft and pulleys for the eng.
I want steel pulleys so what yr Chevy and modle would i get all that from in a junk yard?
