Scottie's Slammer
 

Hi Guys! I have been following the forum for awhile and thought I'd finally post and let you know what I have been working on. The forum has been really great for me for ideas as this project has been going together.

This is a project that has been kicked down the road a couple of times, to my good fortune. I bought it out of a divorce before paint and motor, and now it is coming together nicely. This body must have some history government service. You can see the antenna mounts, but it just has no rust, so likely garaged during its life.

Short coils, spindles and notched frame to get it low without the need for bags. That's a 350/350 drive train. Up next is exhaust. I am just about to put the rebuilt double tinted sliders back in.

My goal from the beginning was to build something that is not over the top in cost and that I'm willing to toss the dogs in to go camping. So far I'm on track.

Thanks for all the good stuff on the forum and I'll keep you posted with progress.

Well guys and burbgirls(73)etc!

I finally got my motor done, and I am proud of it, even if it's hard to keep up with the big blocks and gorgeous frame up projects! This has taken five months. In the meantime I also got my doors on and four sliders in (to the tune of about a grand!). Seems like carbs are totally old school these days. I guess That's why my handle is ogsrule!

The project is slow. The local, and only metal treatment guys took a full two months to process my last batch of parts. Hoping for things to start to move more quickly - With luck I'll post a full body assembled in a couple of weeks.

Keep up the good stuff!
