Found my next project!!

[chistoso]

I'm off all June and one week in July, I have nothing else to do.

Chassis is almost done.. Notice the ghost front right suspension. LMAO.

Engine is 85% done as well..

Some of the goodies..

I'm ahead of schedule. Body is getting massaged back to perfection, the Choo choo front clip and rear roll pan are at the painters' and the interior is being designed as I type and since it's hard to get parts for the interior in good condition, thinking of doing a one off custom interior. Not sure yet. I'd say this should take me no more than 4 months to complete.

Some of the suspension and brake parts are gonna be replaced with superior components as well..

looks good...question, any reason why you chose the Edelbrock carb over the Holley lineup?

 

[chistoso]

Got it cheap but probably gonna go with an avenger or a Demon when it's all said and done..

Looking good. wish I had the time, money and space to work on a project. Whats next on the list to be done?

 

[chistoso]

I need to install the bed cover, would've been done but it was missing hardware and I got it yesterday. Also need to finish off the interior, the seats and the door panels and the shifter boot needs trimmed other than that it's done. The paint is getting color sanded and buffed as I type. I have a set of Budnik wheels on it right now but will probably go with a different set if I can get it today..

 

[chistoso]

DONE!!!! Pics here.. 84' Elky

A whole lot of free time and extra change ($$$) That's what everyone needs, the will and want to is there but time and $$ always hinder an idea..
