Ok, I gotta admit the garage isn't mine... it's actually my Dad's. I kinda took over, but he built it and thinks it's his. lol We both constantly have multiple projects though, so it gets kinda tight. See the frame to my 68 against the wall? I had to move the cab outside to make room for the Silverado.

Got the bed off, rear end out and tore down, and a few other random things done tonight... not a fan of the e-brake cable clips! Now just waiting on my c-notch to show up and my buddy to come weld up the axle tubes. I convinced myself to order up the oem suv rear brakes because mine were toast. I also ordered a torquer 3 cam today!

All of them are fiberglass. (Wish they were steel - always looking for those!) The black 34 has C-5 suspension and drivetrain, and the one in primer has a small block with m2 front and a 9" rear. Both are for sale! We pick those up to build between projects or durring down time. It's fun and we usually make a few dollars. The ****** is Dad's baby... It has a Shafiroff 572 (765hp) and a tko 5-speed, and the list keeps going. That one should be done about the same time as my truck!

I have more pics, but they are at home. I'll post em up soon.

Made some progress this past weekend. Door handle fillers welded in, axle tubes welded, c-notch ready to weld up, fuel tank out and almost done with the walbro install. Also took the overload spring out just in case I don't get to lower it more before I get it on the road. Quite a few other small things...
