Now that winter is here to stay progress has been slow. I did manage to score a set of nice clean RED! burban doors for the rig. Now i just have a small amount of box rust to deal with, and then she will be clean and straigt, ready for a round of home body and paint. Ive been thinking either gm metallic charcoal/black color, but it would probably show all my rookie body skills, so possible a nice bright red like the donor doors. Once i start on the body, im going to take advantage of having the box off again, and c-notch the rear and drop this thing to where i think it should be...and possible look for better fuel tank options, like the burb tank.

Im guessing this is where it would end up with the rear end flipped with c-notch, and 3" drop spindles with a maybe 1/2 to a full coil cut in the front. Tire size may have to change up front i think. Of coarse while its down for the count i sure like day dreaming about what it would be like with a 6.0L/4l80e, and maybe a single turbo. It sure would be cool to give this old tub some scoot, not that the 454 is all that bad...but it could be alot better.
