Hello fellow Slicksters, My name is Scott and I am a new member from Las Vegas, This is not my actual build thread, it is only a teaser, but I thought I'd share a sneak peek.
(copied from another thread in another section)
On to business:
I will post a few pics here but ultimately, I will start an actual build thread in the next few weeks.
This was the day I brought her home
Front end torn down with my mini-me and partner in crime striking a pose
92 spot welds to get dash out!!
Front rails stripped ready for new front suspension
I.C Dakota kit welded in
And painted
New suspension
Column with relocation plate welded in and dash mocked up
That's probably enough to tease for now, Look for the full build thread in the next few weeks!

Scott: Well, now the pressures on!! :).....I haven't heard of any member here yet that doesn't like PICS! So keep'em coming!
.....and I literally just saw this pic posted on another forum, and even though we're (OK, I'm) not going to bust your balls about that LS motor, we may poke you in the ribs from time to time:):)

Why did you have to remove the entire dash?? (just curious)

Re: New member, new build, new passion for Slicks!
P.O. had cut a very crude radio hole. Plus I wanted to seal up the glove box and ashtray and make room for my AC vents! (VERY important to the spouse!) As well as the Vintage Air kit won't fit the way I like with them in place. Final excuse (justification?) Is I want to clean up everything inside as much as possible.
Hmmmm......I'm not even sure if I believe myself!

Looks like a great project!!!
Also, I just read you posts on the 8' foot bed weight and I agree with your stance. I did the same thing on my first car by dropping a 350 Chevy in a Datsun 240Z and man did it run good. Also I ended up working for General Motors for 30 years and my two classics are Fords, go figure.
I wish you the best
