Nice, here is some inspiration.

Haha I've seen that, I really like it at that stage but he changes it a bit later on. My dad is big into the rodder culture, Ed Roth, Etc... That's where I got most of my inspiration. A shifter that comes out of the sun roof is a must and once I get the new motor and tranny in place I am going start on that!

Ordered some frame and motor mounts tonight, just stupid stuff to keep me motivated on this project.


Got a question for you fellas!
I have a carb'd sbc 350 at my dads house that needs to be rebuilt. But I don't really have the time to rebuild it so I was just gonna buy a new running one.

A. Rebuild current 350 with bigger cam?

B. Just buy a running one and throw it in?

[Yezzz]

That thing looks so much like a HotWheels toy car!
When I saw the initial cut I wasn't to sure (I almost always preffer the stock, tall roofs) but this is just awesome!

[P78]

I found my motor, gonna be getting a canned sbc 350 either this weekend or next, pictures to come later tonight

Haha nice, it's starting to grow on me too. Never been a big truck guy but this is helping

You should keep the stock bed and body drop the cap to match the roof line.
