might be partial paint weekend. finishing up sanding the inside rear portion.

 

Awesome... any big plans for the interior? What's the final plan for the vehicle?

 

My plan is to get it on the road with the V6 then do a 383 stroker swap. i have already built the engine. This project was delayed due to divorce. 7 year delay. The inside rear this weekend is getting coats of primer and hot rod black. Same as the outside. Roll cage and interior to be finished at some point after it gets on the road. I have removed the passenger rear seat mounts/bolts, repaired the floor and it will be just painted for now. Yes it will be a three seater. This will not be a garage queen but it wont be a daily driver either. i will upgrade the front and rear suspension, axle upgrade once the power plant is installed.

After everything is sealed up it goes to get an alignment/ inspection. I did the old string and level trick but it still has some bump steer. hoping the alignment will take care of that. Seems silly but, cant wait to make the first trip to Walley world in it. it has been a long time and Im ready to drive it.

 

 

 

 

Looking good!

 

Very uniquely different but totally badass! There's something about this build I totally love!

 

thanks guys. I have enjoyed taking my time to work on it. Still got lots of plans so this one might take me into retirement (in 7 years). I would love to build a large shop with a lift prior to me retiring. I travel for work so the COVID stuff has allowed me to work on it after work instead of being in a hotel room.
