New to board.....1971 Sub, currently in IRAQ

[woodman13]

Hi all, I am new to the board and hope to give and receive info and tips on my newest project, a 1971 sub. I picked it up on ebay about a year ago, been collecting parts and finishing current project car(wifes 1996 Z28 LT4 383, 6 sp, white with orange stripes). My 1971 2wd sub has; sb400, t400, ft/rr a/c, 12 rear(3:73), Clam rear doors, and luggage rack. Needs complete restoration.
Plans are to install LT1 and 4L80E trans, 3/5 susp drop, shave everything(handles, emblems marker lights and gas filler), update interior(1995-2000 leather frt and rear), diamond plate aluminum bed, cowl hood, Roll pan with hidden hitch, caddy lights, rolling on 18's, bright yellow paint w/traditional flamed front. Finished by Dec 05. Will be doing all work myself and look forward to anybody stopping by the shop (Moody, TX) to check out my projects when I get back from Iraq.
Currently, I am in Iraq serving with 1st Cav Div, hoping to be home by Spring 05. Looking forward to all the interesting topics on the board.
