Well RootBeer there isn't much to update. Money continues to be tight with this economy. I'm working 2 jobs, about 65 hours a week total and making about $10,000.00 a year less than I was in 2009 when I got laid off from Cessna, here in Wichita. Strange thing is my house payment and bills didn’t go down. Funny how that works.

I do have all my ball Joints and front end bushings, so I need to get off my ass and get back at it.

One reason I've been procrastinating is because I did such a nice Job on the chassis (Minus the front and rear suspension) that I wanted to hold to the same quality of prep, priming and painting. It's my first project and I just don't want it to look like a first project. I guess I just need to bite the bullet and spend a couple hundred on epoxy primer and chassis paint like I used earlier. I didn’t want to resort to rattles cans, like I said, after doing a good job on the rest of the chassis.

Once I paint and assemble the front and rear suspension, I can start prepping my engine and tranny, running lines etc. I have a Camaro 305 with a fresh long block(10k miles before car was wrecked over 10 years ago) and 700R4 combo. I just plan to freshen them up. Paint them both and put some new gaskets in the engine. Add some nice valve covers, etc. nothing to expensive.

Would be nice if I could get all that done and have them set in place by the end of the summer then turn my attention to sheet metal in the fall.

Shouldn't take much cash to get to that point. I should probably get rid of my original chassis that I put a narrowed C10 front suspension on before I decided to do the S10 chassis swap. Have not advertised on the forum yet. I need to check into doing that.

I’ve seen some more really nice builds popping up, and more S10 chassis swaps. I'll be especially watching those as I think I'm subscribed to every one of them.

Thanks for stopping by.
