Re: Greg's 50 Build

I’m getting closer. I have some loose ends to tie up still but the main things are getting done. I still need to move the motor back a 1/4 inch and set all my pinion angles. Then I’ll put in a new trans filter, install the exhaust, install aluminum radiator (Old for mock up to avoid accidental damage), make hoses, and fill the fluids. Having built the motor too I am really nervous and excited to hear it run.

I managed to avoid any firewall mods by getting the engine low and using the corvette accessory drive to keep the engine forward. I’ll have to modify the inner fender but that’s ok. I’ll just keep chipping away and soon it will run and I can start building the rest of the truck!

Also, I found a cool assembly line mark. It’s a cursive G which also happens to be my first initial. No idea what it was meant for but they did it before paint so it survived. I think it’s cool.

Edit: sorry the pictures are sideways. They’re not sideways on my phone and this is my first mobile post.
