I grew up wrenching on plywood over gravel and the smell of the kerosine rocket heater.


I plan on doing mine in small steps while still driving it. Weekend goals aRe to run brake lines along side the oe ones but not "hook them up" and pancake an extra crossmember I got from LT1burb. Next weekend assemble crossmember with new dropped spindles, discs and misc items. Next weekend mount CaptainFab steering bracket and rebuilt steering gear , slip shaft, run lines and mount the powersteering pump ( I have everything laid out and all bolts and brackets sourced and mocked up).Next weekend focus on rear disc brake swap, 2" blocks ( notch already installed) and mount rear air bags controlling them with manual schraders. Following weekend install front crossmember attatch brake lines and dual master ,again running front on manual schraders. Next weekend mount tank, compressor, manifold and run wires. Following weekend mount gAuges and hook everything together. I will have 7 to 8 weekends with a Thanksgiving and a Disney Christmas vaca, but my wife works every weekend in December so I figure mid January my list should be complete!

This lofty goal was 4 weekends ago, two of which were occupied by out of state family. I started into the list and have gotten the powersteering and sway bars done, drove it for two weeks and last night started in on the airbag and 4 wheel disc set ups. I put in a full day today and should have everything wrapped up by Monday night. I scrapped the pancaked crossmember as the current one is welded in and I don't need to lay frame ( although its cool as hell and will probobly do it later). I have the gauge panel, hang rotors, master cyl , lines and power up the pressure switch for air tomorrow and will be done.
