no headers yet, but i know of my options... A or G body should fit, but it looks as if Hedman shorties should work too, will decide when it's time to fire it up...

thanks man, i wish the paint job on the engine was a little better... looks as if a little brown i showing through it... I may touch it up, may not... it's a street machine, so it's really no big deal

naphtali5725 · 03-12-2015, 03:20 PM

i noticed something else, when i put the engine/tranny(bout 800 pounds) in, the front end didn't go down very much... it looks like it's higher than the back...
i'm hoping all the fenders, hood, radiator, all the other crap under the hood etc. etc. will make it go down some more LOL

Just finished reading your whole thread. Great looking project. It's the Olds power that initially caught my attention, I like unusual combos.

One thing I noticed... On the ball joints on the upper control arms, the bolts are in backwards. The nuts are supposed to be on the top side. This is so that there is more clearance around the boot on the bottom side.

Good luck with your project!

Oh, and I think you're right that the additional front end weight will bring the nose down.

waiting on some bolts/innner fender clips from classic parts, and i'll put the inner/outer fenders together and hang them... hopefully this week...

otherwise, busy washing and painting engine accessories etc.
pics soon...

naphtali5725 · 03-23-2015, 08:43 AM

YAAAAAY...
well today marks the 3rd year of my rebuild... it's on the downslope now i hope LOL

i'm happy that all the build work so far on my truck was out in the front yard, and only a handful of tools... no special stuff, no welder etc. a true shade tree mechanic build

hope to be finished enough in a couple of months to drive it... final paint will be a while anyway...

updates soon...

naphtali5725 · 04-12-2015, 08:21 AM

some progress

naphtali5725 · 04-12-2015, 04:33 PM

inner fender wells are in too...
painted hood hinges, will try and put the hood on tomorrow...

naphtali5725 · 03-23-2015, 02:02 PM

rad support, and inner wheel wells... few dents here and there... no big deal for a street machine

Hankster · 03-25-2015, 09:40 PM

Those parts look solid!!

naphtali5725 · 03-29-2015, 10:11 AM

going to try and finish priming/painting the cab... i want to get the front/rear windows back in as soon as i can, as well as the doors... so it will be dried in, and i can start the wiring...

many updates soon...

naphtali5725 · 04-10-2015, 01:08 AM

more painting done today, will finish the last coat on the rad support tomorrow, hopefully get it bolted on

naphtali5725 · 04-12-2015, 12:54 AM
