Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
I know what you mean... deciding final color is a tough decision. Look forward to watching the build thread and the progress.

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Thanks guys appreciate the kind words it's nice to see all that freaking work is starting to pay off. On another note I should have the rearend finished up in the next few days and I can get this sucker back as a roller. Got the 373s in just gotta get the new seals and stuff in and button it back up and then a lil satin black and it will be good as new. Excited to get my ECE drop kit installed.

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Well thanks guys for all the kind words I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I think lol anyway I got me a good deal today I had ordered some sheet metal and when I opened it all one of my new bedsides had been dropped or bumped at some point. It wasn't really bad but I called them anyway and had to send pics ofcourse. I waited a couple days and they called back today and said I had another one on the way and to do whatever I wanted with the damaged one. So guess I got me a spare lighty dinged right hand bedside for free.

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Well fellas its been awhile since I posted work has been slow on the ol girl but I been gathering goodies and etc. Got my rearend done this week got my 373s installed and buttoned it up and also got my impala ss brake brackets on. They are great thank you captainfab!!! I'll post a couple pics I didn't get one taken of the finished wire brushed and painted product cause it fell off the jack stands and broke my middle finger. But my rotors and calipers will be here Tuesday. Should have it back on all fours Wednesday. Then my motor and trans can be put in place!!!
