my k5 turned into a total build so i decided to start a thread from beginning to its current state! this is basically how it came home after i got it running. it had been sitting in a farmers field since 94!

Wow! Nice build. Keep on with the pictures. Love the paint on the bellhousing,465,and adapter! Just what I was thinking.
|
Re: N.Y. project 72 k5
Great Build! Wish I was a little closer as i would come help and learn for my next one while I was at it.

Re: N.Y. project 72 k5
Looking great! Keep it up!

Re: N.Y. project 72 k5
Ya, those are the correct colors right? Chevy orange for the motor-bellhousing,red for the transmission, gunmetal grey for the adapter? I'm thinking red for the np205 transfer case too. Everything else under mine will be black, make those components stand out more!

Re: N.Y. project 72 k5
Lookin good, will turn out real nice. What do you plan on doing with the original wheels and covers, could use a set. Will follow this as I'm doing mine as well. Have fun.
