[QUOTE="FlatlandFSJ, post: 476278, member: 8507"] Figure Ill jump on the bandwagon as well :dblthumb: Some have seen pics in the random thread, but I guess its time to actually dig thru 2 years of pictures and make a thread on the piece of **** that is my waggy.First bit Ill catch you up to were I started caring and started taking pictures. The original plan for this thing was to just toss some 33's on it and drive it, but....well yea **** happens. It had been sitting for 7-8 years with the hood open and the drivers window down(more or this later). So it was no surprise the motor was more or less done for, pulled the drainplug and about a gallon of water came out before any oil did :****: Snatched the 360/727/229 and unloaded the torque flight to a guy on vacation from Louisiana, guess he really needed it cause I loaded it and the 229 onto a hitch style cargo basket on the back of a mini-van. At this point it was kinda stalled til I found a new motor/trans. In this time I had stripped the waggy back to nothing,started mesing with a dash and found out the entire driver side of the floor was gone from it sitting with the window open. So I chopped out everything from the flat portion of the fire wall to the small step below the rear seat. Sitting in the truck with the stock seat/floor I knew i would never be able to get a cage in it and be comfortable(I'm dam near 6'5) so while I had the floor out I decided to drop it 1.5" which also picked the body up about an inch and let me shove the 454/400 way up in the frame. Specific pics will be lacking til I kinda figured out what I was doing Floor chopped out some new cross bracing/seat mock up [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2013-12/IMG_20131205_154618_zpsa9itimr6.jpg[/IMG] Dash and some of the floor bracing, rust is the new powercoat right?
