Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
I have a quick question on this build. Where did you get your tubular motor mounts for the frame? I have found others that are close, but those have eluded me so far.

By the way, this truck is going together real well, great job....

IM sorry, can you explain a little bit about the gap??? Your talking about the gap between the rain gutter and the door top edge correct? What did you do to get rid of that? Just some door adjustment?

Looks good btw. Also, glad your up and running with the business. :beer:

That's some sweet body work. Those gaps are fantastic! Those smooth door jambs aren't too shabby either

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
I have noticed that you like to use the moroso spiral flow mufflers on your LS builds. I was thinking about running the Flowmaster delta 50's, would you know how they compare??

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
IMO flowmasters and borla sound like crap on these LS engines....magnaflow, and the moroso spiral flows sound the best on these LS engines...thats just my opinon tho..

I agree on the mufflers, I don't know about moroso but magnaflows are a good choice.

68 short step, you are doing some damn nice work by the way

Nah, decided I couldn't part with it, I am just going to spend a little more money on a vintage air, weather stripping, and some dynamat and she will handle a little baby just fine. That thing is like a drug to me anyways, I have had a 5.0 mustang, and ls1 trans am but this thing is a thrill to drive. I have never owned anything that will blow the back tires off so easy and for so long
