ok back up I may re-think of some ideas
This is my note pad!first off I have been thinking is it really necessary for the coilovers in front? I mean can the torsion bars be adjusted to ride better with a 350 cause its kinda squirley while going about 70mph barely uneven freeway road? I mean I can get coilovers just wondering if it would be possible to have a good ride out of torsion. I did buy shims in case I can adjust it and then align it.
I may end up getting a stock luv gas tank and make a nice square enclosure with a filler neck make it presentable? not a fuel cell but could look nice and function uhhh?
oh and in the mean time I may buy these mooneyes wheel disc screw down hubcaps to hide the difference of bolt pattern front and back.
I may have some 88' s10 spindles hubs calipers and rotors coming my way for reasonable price.
also the guy I bought the truck from has a th350 stage 2 w/lokar shifter he could sell me for reasonable price possibly may snag it up I hear 700r4 could be prone to breaking???
Only thing is that I would end up buying a driveshaft and a 9" which I can't seem to find around here with a good hubface to fit and all the blah blahs? and than end up doing a toyota front conversion possibly later on. Haha why not?
and on the exhaust I am going to buy a pair of decent used headers and use my stove paint and pretty them up and get a dual cutout kit w/ warranty and run a stock muffler behind that for being quiet.
I also plan using my powder coating gun kit I bought a while back works nice and find a used oven on the cheap or free!!! also use some por-15
I need to find 30' rolls of wire on the cheap side cause I am gonna go through and re use all the new relays and fuse block yada yada try to spend under $100
I found out a hinge design that will work on the full fender tilt with 3 pivot points really been racking my brain around this part. I will use gas shocks and will build frame work and most likely will stitch weld every 8 to 10 inches? and use some filler
going to also cutout the firewall with plasma than build a better doghouse also notch under the cowl to get access to distributor as well! inside the firewall will be framework for bracing up the lambo doorhinges.
new tires. or really good used ones?
at work we have a industrial sewing machine and was thinking about seeing if I could try my hand at upholestry. Could really use tips on that area
I also need to find new rubber moulding and for windows I am going to pull them all out when body work is done to paint it all and wondering if summit has some good prices on paint? I bought some from napa it turned out pretty ok metallic green everything ended up costing about 320 bucks to paint it not bad
well I hope some of you chime in or know places to save but not cut too many corners like my gas tank idea and possible keeping of torsion
Thanks Guy's
