Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
got the cab all bolted down, also the piece on the edge of the cab (that he fender and wiper cowl bolt to) was all rusted out, so it was cut out, and another piece fabbed up...i welded it in and smoothed the welds down...also got the front fender bolted on, i wanna try and re-use the stock inner fenders and hood hinges...
and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it was cold in the shop today. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040015.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040016.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040014.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040013.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/PA170003.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/PA170004.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040018.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040019.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040017.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...d/P1040020.jpg |

Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
Nice progress Don! Your cab and firewall look great! And man does that LS look sweet perched in there. Hey, what motor mounts/stands did you use and did you make your own adapters? Yep, it was too cold for me to even go out in the shop tonight.
|
Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
tubular engine mounts from performanceonline.com, and the adaptor plates were from thecarshop.com (i think thats the name)
|
Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
I realllllly love how that ls looks in there, better yet will be the fuel economy and modern reliable engine.

Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
Are the headers you are using on this one, the same as you are using on the hulk? 98-02 Camaro. Where did you buy them from?

Nice metal work! You gott love those "shade-tree" body guys......

Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)
the front fenders had some rust/repairs on the bottom front.. so instead of fooling with it i desided to just replace it all.. here are a few pics of it all bolted together
