You do great work my friend!Keep the pictures coming!

[Eastonspeedworks]

Thank you! Here's some pictures from today here's the painted accessory drive and the wire loom tucked behind it feeding the fans and alternator

Fabbed up a new upper radiator hose out of 2" stainless necked down to 1.5" and added a port for the steam ports. Also got the 2 step in there with clutch and first gear micro switches

Well here's an update I wanted to do a nut and bolt check along with a fluid change on the tremec tko. While jacking the truck up the Jack slipped. It ruined the bumper, smashed the core support and seems to have ruined the jack too. Unfortunate accident but luckily it didn't get me too. Since my nice bumper is folded up I decided I might run some white bumpers for a while I kind of like them.

Nice build looking great. Sucks about the jack.

I like how you put cribbing under the tires with jack stands. I've seen two people die under a car when a jack gave away.

Nice build all around. Well documented. I especially like how you handled the ignition wires and valve covers. I know it's an LS, but I love the old school Chevy script on the covers.

Very cool build

[Eastonspeedworks]

Started building some filler panels today I'll snap some pictures of the rest of them tomorrow evening

[Eastonspeedworks]

Here's some pictures almost debating on going with a brushed aluminum look rather than paint but who knows?

[Eastonspeedworks]

Got some more done today still lots of fitting and welding to do

[Eastonspeedworks]

Still chipping away

[Eastonspeedworks]

Been busy sanding and making more things that need sanding. Hopefully one day I'll actually drive the damn thing. Ordered some killer wheels too they should be coming any day

[6t9camaro]

Just read all the way through and great build! I hope I didn't miss it but where you get your seat cover from? I've got the same green interior and I'm looking for that green seat!
Thanks

[Eastonspeedworks]

Thank you, the seat cover is the green houndstooth cover from brothers trucks I like it quite a bit

[hewittca]

I've been following your build through Instagram, but somehow missed your thread until now. The truck is looking great! Hard to beat that 505 dark green. The engine bay looks so good too. I'm curious to see what wheels you got, any wheel is going to give it quite a different look from those white walls.

[nastety92]

Nice build. Truck is really coming out nicely. What did you do with the old radiator cover that was black with the dimple die holes in it?

[Eastonspeedworks]

Thanks guys I love the 505 green myself! I used that cover on my other truck but I have one in bare aluminum if you need one let me know the wheel choice is some 20" Bonneville g wheels I think they will look good I've liked them on all the trucks I've seen

[Eastonspeedworks]

Put some of the truck together for fun. waiting a week to sand everything is going to be the death of me!

[6t9camaro]

Trucks looking awesome! ��
Any more pics of you front fender Wells? I like how you built some extra room for the tires. I'm at the same spot on my project and I'm thinking about doing it? Did that give you about another 1" drop?
Thanks

[Eastonspeedworks]

I'll take some pictures next time I'm out there it doesn't really give you any more drop just room for a wider tire. If you want more drop you would have to cut the fender and run another style inner fender

[6t9camaro]

Thanks that would be great! Yes I did notice you also modified the inner fender.

Truck looks great, nice clean work!
