It's been a while since an update. I've been working on the floor and I just ordered some parts for the air ride as well. I took 6" out of the driveshaft, so the whole driveline is mocked up.

Started fitting the driveshaft

Well, it took a month to get the bell housing. but it's in now.

A bit of an update. I finally got a bell housing ordered from Ross Racing. I'll be able to finish the mock up of the drive line. I plan to build the engine through the winter and by spring have it running.

Diggin the car man!

Thanks and yes I am! I am trying to get this thing running and driving by spring. Here are a couple pics new soft lines

I've been working on brake lines, so far just have the two going from the master cyl to the combo valve. I'm going to try and get the lines ran to the front wheels this week.

boxed the frame in front of the notch and trimmed the bottom of the notch. I also picked up new calipers and ordered some brake line and finished welding the shock mounts on the axle.

nice lookin wagon! cool burnout pic too!

cool truck, nice work on the frame!

Here are a couple pics of the pedals. I haven't done a lot with the clutch yet, but the gas and brake are about done. here is the brake pedal process. you can kinda see the mock up pedal on the left.

Thanks! I'm thinking a split grill, similar to an olds. I'm not sure yet. I was going to use a nova grill that i picked up, but it doesn't look right.

cool car man! I like those seats.

Well here it is, I'm starting a build thread. I'm putting a 303 Olds in a s10 with a t-5 behind it. Here is how it looks now

I'll start a build thread but here is a pic.

I should have some up later today.

Well, like my name says I have a S-10 with a Olds 303. Still a project right now. I'm not really sure what to call it, it's a layed out minitruck with random old parts but I would like to paint it. Kinda 3 styles in one. I cut down a '49 Olds rear bumper for the front , a '56 Bel-Air rear bumper...
