Cooter: Good on ya!! I would spend the winter finishing/painting the chassis, get the powertrain in, and DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF IT come spring. Leave the body for the following winter, it looks cool just the way it is!!

i plan on driving it for a year to work out the bugs and then paint it next winter. The motor is machined and ready to assemble and i plan on firing it up around Christmas. If i can come up with a little more money then the 4l80 overdrive will go in but 5000 is a chunk of change when i still need to buy many other parts!

They do look good in the weeds. :D

And I can just picture this uni lined up vs. Melba Toast at the track. ;)

as much as i enjoy short boxes, i think lowered long boxes look sleeker than shortboxes. Im glad you all like the stance, the front will drop a few more inches to give it some rake. Next step is to get the motor together and a tranny picked and build it.
