The boys are blowing holes for c-notch. We're going old school with 7" pipe sections and some bracing --- custom fab work.

Re: High School Project Build

Nice project! I think this is what a lot of auto shop classes are missing these days. This can teach many different areas besides just wrenching. The truck looks like a great platform to start with as well!

Re: High School Project Build

If I may ask, why do you need new mirrors? I have my old set just lying around, as I replaced them with chrome units (unfortunately I'm on the other side of the planet so postage will probably be quite high and take forever, as our post office is on strike).

We were going with the smaller round one instead of the 4x8's - leaving mirror stems.

Re: High School Project Build

Hay That's great getting the kids involved.My daughter just graduated and she took shop last couple of years and wishes they had a project like this to work on.
Instead she came home and is helping with mine in the shop.She is great help and excited to learn.
Keep up the great teaching kids need this knowledge.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: High School Project Build

Never knew you were a high school teacher! your stepper and 2 door carryall (i believe) were some of my favorite trucks as I lurked the forum searching for ideas for my personal truck! I'm stoked to see what another high school can do, with your expertise. wish my high school was into this! cant wait to see the outcome, my build plans and this build are very similar good luck!!

Re: High School Project Build

We are finally getting back to work on the truck. We've had several other projects that we had to get done - so that has taken away a lot of time from the truck.

The guys are finding the joys in removing the factory rivets.

Re: High School Project Build

We would love to have your class over for a field trip if that can be arranged. I'm sure I could get Rob from No Limit on board to make for a good education for the kids!

I'll see what we can do on a field trip.

We are back in school. My classes have a new set of students because they change classes at the begiining of the year. Alot of my former students returned, and I got several new ones. After we get through "safety" - we should be back to work on the truck in a few days.

If anybody has suspension parts (drop spindles, 2" front & 5" rear drop springs, disc brakes) laying around - I sure could use them.
Anybody have a cts-v, muscle car or camaro LS oil pan
