11 years in the making continued

This will end up being my daughters truck (she will be 6 in less than a month) - why not! She will be the coolest kid in school!! I have to finish the back end - have polished diamond plate to cut and install - the factory rear A/C will be functioning next year. The engine 454 - pushing 500 hp and over 500 lb's torque~ Black Walnut door panels also

Re: 11 years in the making continued

Re: 11 years in the making continued

$$ was part of it - I have over 26,000 into this project and I am not done yet.... Plus I was told that BBC headers would have to be custom made for this application - I moved the carriage forward 2" so the HEI would clear the firewall - which meant the front driveshaft is shortened, and the rear lengthened by 2" - tailshaft shifter, etc, etc - all added up to more than I planned - if you know where I can get headers that will fit my screwy creation - by all means - forward it to me - I am open for anything - this was to get me going down the road!
