Commenced the tearing apart even further tonight. Got the core support, fenders, hood, and headers taken off... Next comes the motor

Cool, what are the plans?

-Motor and trans are coming out
-going manual brakes with an adjustable proportioning valve, line lock, and other new components.
-the whole truck is getting outfitted in Energy suspension bushings
-finish and paint the frame up
-firewall is getting smoothed and painted to match
-all of the old electronics are out, and a painless harness and all my other electronics will be going under the dash.
-I am re-vamping my autometer setup, adding a few guages to monitor more things, and adding a shift light now.
-the cage will be upgraded to 10 pt. over the present 6 pt.

-The motor will possibly be outfitted with some new goodies before re-install also. This consists of Brodix FB1000 Aluminum heads, Victor Jr. Airgap intake (portmatched to the heads via CNC), Lunati full roller cam and lifters, and an 850 Race demon. All of this of course, will be laced with 150 wet shot with a complete BG fuel system.

All of the motor stuff is still up in the air...but outside of that, the rest is set in stone. I am sure you will get more pictures than you can handle as I continue the build.

Sounds like she's gonna be a jaw dropper...

Good luck man. Tear down is the easy part. Its the assembly and the $$$ that holds me up!!

I know how that is... Fortunately I still have some steam built up from the wagon project I just finished, so things might go fairly smooth.
