Re: My new project 86 Silverado

I'm biased, so I vote Olds! Also its been done several times. Not sure how well the Poncho fits? (mounts and exhaust?) Either way looks like fun!

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

got to lay a coat of paint on the rad core support, have all the new bushings ready to go...

digging out all the clips and bolts etc. to start hanging the front clip...

there's a car wash down the road with those high pressure wands.. i'm going to take all my engine accessory brackets, etc. down there and wash them, that should degrease and clean them all, so i can paint them and start assembling the engine... updates as they come over the next few days/weeks...

hope everyone is well and getting ready for spring
