Day 1 Delivery Day

3 - 8 - 19

Today was the day! Everything almost went smoothly. My chassis dolly broke. I have it on jacks. I plan on beefing of the dolly and giving it another go. I like the idea of being able to move it.

My engine was not complete but I only have to put on serpentine kit.

Inventory and body removal is my next two goals.

The rack I made to hang the body will need to be moved. Besides that I'm ready.

It seems most of my kit came except box 12 which is the header assembly. However I'm not exactly sure about the rest of this paper work to see if other stuff is missing. A little confusing for now but I will slow my roll and figure it out.

Here are some pics!

Awesome sauce I have decided this is the way to go. Thank you
In retrospect, drilling and tapping to the top of the 2” tube and not the FRONT would be a lot easier. Painting the hardware black and no one would notice

I can't wait to start racking up the miles!
What I did was check each bag and box and then crosswalk what they said on the POL and I found.




I say we should post more "finished" cars for inspiration. Ah who am kidding just bragging hahaha...

Turn signal flasher with alarm was a lot louder than I thought it would be.

Stupid fuel pump loud as heck though lol.

Nice little mod for super cheap. Not even really a mod just pulled out the the old fuse and added the new one.
