Finally got started back up on my 87! (UPDATE WITH PICS)

Well, tonight a buddy and I were bored so we decided to fire up the burner and start cooking on the 87 again. I had it almost to a running state, but then decided that I wasn't happy with the work I had done (did another project in between now and then, and have become much more anal) so it is getting tore back down and started over. This time the A/C, heat, radio, and factory wiring is gone and I am down to a bare bones dash and no wiring under the hood. Next will be the smoothing of the firewall, installation of a Painless harness to run my neccesities, and maybe a few chassis upgrades (possible rollcage upgrade and maybe a manual rack and pinion setup)

Basically I decided that since I just purchased an LS1 formula, I didn't need to try to build two cars to cruise. So the truck will be a little more on the primative side of things which will really give it a cleaner and more simple style and appearance

I will take pics today yet (since it is 2:13 am) and post them up for ya guys
