While it's out, I'm adding a COMP cam (cam,lifters,springs,chain), 4-brl intake, HEI, center dump heads, new valve covers, basically just clean it up little. Steam clean the engine compartment and paint it. I'm retaining the stock 3-speed.....:metal: After it's back in, I'll install a new exhaust system. The body will remain in primer, later I will re-do it in mabey the Blitz black or something. This was just rattle can for now. Later I will give the suspension a taste of my expertize....Full air-ride, HI-PSI, fast stuff !!! I'll keep the pics coming !!!! Keep checking back for updates !!!! John |

If you go bags...I would run an EDC...thats the only way to go. That way you won't have the noisey comp run'n all the time. With hydraulics...all you would need is like 4 batterys. They can be installed UNDER the bed. Suspension is my bag. I've been doing custom show installs since I was 16...I'm almost over the hill now :lol: (not really, but) If you have any questions...feal free to ask !!!! John |
