bc gman · 01-11-2011, 12:28 AM

These old slot mags just scream classic IMO... I love em. When I was a kid (many moons ago), I bought a set of mags for my first car, and they didn't fit. I kept them, thinking one day I might be able to use them. My dad told me to get rid of them, so I hid them under my bed! I got to use them after all when they fit my next car perfectly. Now if I could find a cheap set for my truck...

alwaysbroken · 01-12-2011, 02:34 AM

i watched it snow.

Finally got the engine in. Now just gotta rerun wiring, hoses, vacuum lines, fuel lines, and button up.

BossHogg69 · 01-12-2011, 04:09 PM

Got the motor & trans set down in the frame (mock up), had to dimple the #1 primary tube to clear the motor mount bracket. Now I gotta hack up my brand new trans crossmember to work on my Tremec TKO trans
