Re: '80 C10 drag truck project

More updates I know its been a while. We finally got our prep booth finished after our class decided to take over for the college maintenance guys.


I got my cab back from auto body and at first I was pleased with the results but upon closer inspection the work was awful and I'm extremely pissed at the teacher for not paying attention to what the students were doing they obviously received very little instruction and I will be visiting the teacher shortly. Here are a few pics of that.



I made some solid engine mounts out of 2x3 steel then sleeved each hole for a 1/2" bolt and I am using these cool aluminum mounts from AFCO. The mounts are only welded on three sides because I will make some sort of gusseting for the bottom (although its probably not needed, they seem pretty solid) I have an idea for the trans mount but need to get some tubing. I will need to bend the tube somehow to clear the exhaust so I will prob wait until the body is mounted.
