Here it is the first day i brought it to the shop

Really started going on it the beginning of last month. Got a front clip out of a 84 suburban for disc brakes and 5 lug. Bagged the clip before i put it in. Got the clip in then z'd the front. After we did the fron we got the back going, we did a back half with mandrel bent frame rails, and right now it has a 2 link. The 2 link may change. Also bought the truck with a 350 in it with the original 3 speed manuel transmission. Got a turbo 400 for it. Plans for the motor consist of painting the block green all the pulleys silver. Got a edelbrock intake for it. Well here are some pics of the build so far

Turned out nice, awesome work!

Looks good...what are you doing for paint as far as color?...or are you leaving it like that for a while?

I would like to see the "z" in the front.

As far as paint its staying original. Going to paint the shop info on the side with some pin striping. I will get more pics of the z and the rear once its finished we just got it laying right now so its not all done. Hopefully it will be pretty much done this weekend then i will post the pics.
