Not a truck, not a LS engine, but weighs as much as a truck, "69 Twin TurboCharger"

Looking good!

Little finish work and that PS bracket will look just fine.

Putting the quick change in the car huh? Doing IRS?

Thanks,

no IRS, I haven't made up my mind on what type of rear suspension the car will have. At this point I just like to get it going and make the decision later....

Thanks, Not much. Too busy with other JUNK

I have started the mock up on the drives side, changed the master cylinder mount a bit.

Thank you,

Getting a little more time to work on it lately. I got the drivers side down pipe tacked, I just need to finish the waste gate pipes, mark all the locations for the egt and wide band ports, pull the exhaust and finish welding it up! Then I can finial move on to something else.


Im so exhausted of work on the exhaust, I have spent a little time mounting the seats. All that is left is to finish the shifter mount.
