Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
Here's a few pictures of my ol senorita. I just got her lowered and she's a lot of fun. The best part is that i only have about $2800.00 in her. The first one is the day that I picked her up for $1050.00. I don't think that I did to bad.

Re: Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
Looks good. I always liked the red primer. The reason I did mine in black is cause it is actually John Deere Blitz Black, so maybe it will last awhile. How much is it lowered?

The front has 2 1/2" drop spindles with 3 springs. The rear has a flip kit with 3" blocks.

Re: Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
She sure did come down a bit.I`m using red oxide on my ride.I`m a poet and don`t know it.What I`m using is a sealing primer and will last.I`ve always used red oxide from back in the day when lacquer primer was the best way to go.

Re: Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
The motor finally gave up on me. I have another one at the engine builder as we speak. It started out as a mild rebuild but it is turning into a real ground pounder. Just worried about the rest of the truck now.

Re: Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
Some updates on my engine. The bottom end is put together, now wait to get the heads from the machine shop. Still have to get a torque converter and transmissiom. I'm trying to keep the whole build old school low budget, so we used what we had. With that said here is what I have
The motor is a .40 over 350, keith black 2 eyebrow flat top pistons, wolverine cam 488 lift, edelbrock performer intake, holley 750 carb. The heads are old school also. 64cc gm heads. Im running harland sharp 1.5 3/8 roller rockers. I have long tubes and flowmaster 40 series mufflers. It is going to be night and day from the ol worn out 350 that was in it. ![]()

Re: Ol '71 Saucy Senorita...
And I kinda got a wild hair up my ass and decided that it would be a good idea to put some 20's on it, paint it blue then do a fake patina job on it, and what the hell we might as well slap on a door logo on there too. Still waiting on tires, but accepting donations for those who want to help out.
