Looks good so far. I am doing the same build right now, but I am a little ahead of you. Check out my build thread. I tried to be specific about the parts that I used hoping that I could help out the next guy. Good luck.

Good project!

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Love the look of the smooth cab. I wish the cab I had in my garage looked that good!

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Boy! all this looks familiar. (from my build) keep up the good work, looks great.

Did you fabricate the gas tank filler piece or does somebody sell a formed filer panel for this spot? I have never seen one for sale.

I found them on the web. The filler neck fit great. you end up using very little filler. I purched all of plates for around $80 with shipping. Saved me time.

Ck out ebay, there is a reputable seller on there that sells variuos types of fill plates for our trucks. Can't remember the name, sorry.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

making a little progress -I bolted in the engine and transmission where I want it. I installed the notch kit into the frame. machined both front rotors to fit the Boss 338's 20x10 rears and 18x8's up front.

Excellent! Cool project.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

This is a great looking project! Looks like a bonafied frame off. You might want to have the thread moved to the build and project section. Subscribed.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Nice. How come you have TWO LSx motors?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

I couldn't help but notice the longer studs up front on your rotor. I assume you are running a thin spacer behind your front wheels? Is this how you got your Boss center caps to fit on there without cutting the spindle shaft and dust cover? I'm pretty familiar with the 338 mods required on the rotorsHere.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

looks fantastic so far, keep up the good work:metal:

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Thanks for the compliments...

mcbassin, your correct. I am running 1/4" spacer on the front wheels.. Thanks to everyone like you on this board did all of the leg work for me...


This is my buddy's Sand Car engine. Trading labor; I am rebuilding his transmission, and he will powder coat my frame. Check out Powdercoatingplus here in Vegas..

Looks like a cool build. Can't wait to see more.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

I used to live 5 miles from APEX when I lived in Vegas... I am positive I have seen this thing either there or dumont the few times i went. If it is infact the same one, this thing is intimating as all hell, haha.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

very nice! i like how you turned down your rotor hub to fit the wheel instead of going the wheel spacer route.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Frame just made it back from PC.
