the predator fixed all my fuel problems.

Gettin closer !!!! Almost all the pieces are together and they fit!!!!Still need to get to level ground and make the final panel and bed adjustments.

With the airbags all the way down on the bump stops in the back.

Side shot.I can get another approx 2 inches by trimming the bump stops and as u can see the front is yet to get the 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and possibly air bags or 2 inch drop coils,have not decided yet. The front will also recieve disk brakes and all the goodies that go with it,for now the back will keep the drums. Still not ready to fire the engine.I need and electric fan and also to install the fuel cell and pump.

I'm very impressed Shawn. Coming right along.

Looking good Shawn, some great progress!!!

Thanks ,I am trying. Just for those who do not know ,the underside of all that is like new.

Looks good, even if it is a chebbie!!!

Ok, come on and admit it!!!! Who else besides me uses one project for a storage shelf when working on another project???

I never have, nor do I have more than one project.....!!! Or even a garage!!! I love the balancing shock too Dave!! I really do love the front end of the Ranchero Dave, very nice.

Sweet coupe Pieceofpaper, awesome start for sure. Should be one wild ride. Are you going to keep the Zoomies on or are you going with a street exhaust?

Great work Shawn, you really have come a long way. When is it motor time?

I took my car out to it's first cruise-in (this year) tonight, it was a blast. She ran well except for a little hesitation when taking off, but all in all she did real well for right out of the box. Now back to work on the interior.

Did the new radiator eliminate the cooling problem, Brick????

Dave: HA !!! You call THAT neat arrangement in your garage "using one project for a storage shelf." ???? I wish mine looked that organized.


My garage reminds me of the old joke: How do you spot a wealthy redneck???

He's got FOUR cars sitting up on blocks in his front yard.


Here is some of MY mess.

Don

And some more.................

There ya go, Don. The bucket bodies stacked up look great!!! Used to have a sign above my desk that said if a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is an empty desk the sign of?

That is a mess I would love to have to deal with Itoldyouso, I would keep one of those bodys in the house if I could get my hands on one, Very nice.
