Thread: I couldn't build it for $3 K either!

Tweet

Well, my 23T project is far enough along to post some pictures.

I've been following Project $3 K. That post got me to sign up. That's going to be a cool ride when it's done

Like Itoldyouso, I thought I could build it really cheap if I built everything I could. But...... I'm at twice that much and it ain't nowhere near finished Oh well, like most projects, this one took on a life of it's own.

I used quarter elliptic front springs and air bags on the rear. It has 4-bars front and rear. I like the look of long bars on the front so these go all the way to the cowl. The steering is a Vega box layed on it's side for side delivery.

It's going to have a 350 Chevy with 3 dueces. I'm shooting for about 300HP. Should be fairly easy to get even with a mild cam. It also has a 700R4.

I used an S10 rear. The gears are 2.75 right now. I picked up another 7.5 rear out of a Camaro with 3.42's and posi. If the axle splines are the same, I'll probably swap out the internals.
