"Brain check" Project
Well guy this my second project and the only reason i called it "Brain check" cause i just got my car done couple months ago. I don't know if its normal cause my girlfriend think am loosing it
 For the guys who haven't seen my first project. 79 C10 Swap With L92 & 6l90 Anyhow how this build will be long and little slow but hopefully i build the truck the way i want it. Major Points of the build will be these and any other stuff will be added later as i research and with your guys help as i go with build  Frame: 1.Stiffing Frame 2.Sand Blasted 3.Powder Coated or Paint (Depends on decided Car Color) Suspension & Brakes 1.Tubular lower and upper control arms 2.Triangular 4 link with Coil overs or Air ride. 3. Rear C6 Corvette Brakes Engine & Drivetrain 1. Cleaned and Painted with Transmission (depends on car color) 2. Twin Turbo Precision 6265 Billet Ball bearings. 3. Fuel Cell & Fuel System 4. Methanol System Body: 1. Body Clean up with new paint job 2.Tubed Bed For rear wide rims +14 (Havent decided on size or yet) I started on 2 days ago but i took pics. First day started around 8 PM  Around 1 AM and done for the night.   Next morning with friend support we hanged the bed for the extra space.   My friend giving me the hungry look.  Tearing thru the front end.    Me checking the oil cooler lines   At the end of the day around 2:30 AM    At the end of the day around 2:30 AM I was barely dragging my self to the bed.

I think you should get it on your list cause the 6 speed is different animal. The response and short gear ratio shifting are just amazing. Sucks thought i can only use 1st & 2nd gear then after i put on Drive and it has a brain of it own i got no control at all except my foot i hope someone make a controller for it soon cause i cant imagine how awesome it be with steering wheel paddle shifter.

Update : Got some work done Disconnected my fuel lines All Braided stainless steel lines is on my list now  Gas tank looks so ****ty glad its out Fuel Cell on the list  Cleaned the garage for Phase 2   Picked up a 1700psi electric pressure washer and sprayed the frame     Spacers that solved the S&P A/C bracket belt issue.  Ripping stuff off

Re: "Brain check" Project
Main body paint got decided almost close to my old paint job but looks nicer? What do you guys think
Frame paint color suggestions needed ? Thinking about Metallic Silver with blue powder coated front end.  Quote:
