Tryin2layadime's BodyDrop

well i didnt wanna make one of those threads that didnt have progress until i got myt ax return back so i could drop a chunk on parts and work. a friend of mine (minituckin') on here is assisting me and then some with this project he did the initial bag on it so i went back to him when as you know it got totalled out. so here is it we played around of course and put some 20's behind the fender to see. but its gonna be like 4 inch SF and 1 inch Trad.
well we took the body off the frame last night and played around with brandons 20's and here they are
we're building a new smoothy firewall no tubs no holes. so here ya go.

Looking good. Long way to go though. Oh, looks like I'll be doing Havoc this year instead of ITB. See ya there.
You guys have a table to work on? Much easier to keep everything where it's supposed to be.

Here's my buddies 1st gen S10 he's working on.

Re: Tryin2layadime's BodyDrop

Why does it scare you? Think your's won't be unique? I'm sure it will. You can always compare each others work. I'm sure each of you will have things that are better or worse than the other, or just different. I'll be impressed enough if all 3 make it. I still haven't seen a complete bd 1st gen 4-door. There's that one on 22's at ITB but it's still got a long way to go.

Re: Tryin2layadime's BodyDrop

im running a stock 4.3 so to speak it might be build later but for now it will be just a v6. too many 350 swaps if i do deside on a swap it will be a 396 or a 383 stroker. im also getting SD to build me a custom wishbone set-up i hope.

Re: Tryin2layadime's BodyDrop

Nothing wrong with a stock 4.3. Since you have it out you should take some time to clean it up. A lot of the wiring can be cleaned up by extending wires here and there to make them tuck away better. The headlight wiring can be run between the inner and outer fender. Stuff like that.

Re: Tryin2layadime's BodyDrop

What's this "done" you're talking about? Is that like "finished" or "complete"? People keep saying these things but I have no idea what they mean.
