its the new style!



decided to get off my ass and get the bench mounted, and wrapped. also went and stripped some of the wiring i had for the bag shit, and extended a few wires that had to be extended to put my ignition and headlight switch in dash.. needa loom the wiring, and see about mounting my shifter. might be impossible with the trans in.

Image
def. not the best wrap job, but the entire bench swap has cost me no money.. so itll do for now. especially since im putting an offer in on a house today. lol

Nice, gonna do the door panels like that too?

and an off topic question, do those dollies work pretty well for moving it around? Been debating about getting some I can move mine around easier.

My buddy has a set of them from Harbor Frt. and they work well. He moves around a 16ft travel trailer on them all the time.

I have them as well and it does make it a lot easier to move it where I want it since you can move any direction.

Thanks guys and sorry to hijack Wicked. 8) Will probably pick up a set next time I am in Montana, almost bought those go jack clones that HF sells but they seem way to bulky even though they would be easier to use.

id much rather have go jacks. they would be much quicker. my dad bought these yearsssssss ago. definately makes it nice when working on a vehicle. i can turn it sideways in garage, then push it right up against the wall when done.

Not much going on with this thing. Been busy buying my first home, and getting settled into it.. Dad had gotten a built aod, then decided to do a ls swap in his little car. so he sent the aod back and got a 4l60e. built to handle 600hp. So i should never have any troubles with it again lmao.

heres a few pics of the truck at its new home.

I just joined but have been following this build. FRICKIN' AWESOME! just a couple questions...........for now. Early in the build you started with a set of black painted pacesetter headers. what were they to fit? F-Body? How much did you notch the rear of the frame in to tuck the 10" wides. I just inherited my Grandfather's '76 Luv that I have always Luv'd. I am going to be doing the LSX swap and want to be able to tuck 10". Thanks for the help and awesome build. Keep it up brother.
