Nice score on the high hump. If you haven't bought your carpet yet, check with Kyle at Laidbackrecreations I bought mine from him, best deal and high end quality.

I ordered it from Trim Parts. Sometimes I can get pretty good deal through my chevy dealership

Sprayed some reflex bedliner under the sloshtubz. I didn't want any rocks to star the gel coat if the tire threw a rock.
Mike losh did Awsome on these. I love em. Thank god he went through all the trouble to make these. Only saves a guy like 6 months of labor!

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Starting to get some assembly done. It's kinda hard to see but I duplicated the dimples from the factory welds on the panels that were welded in on firewall. I want it to look like GM put it there

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Have you mocked-up your steering linkage? If I remember correctly, the OE driver side ram horn interferes w/the shaft for the R&P. I had to use Speedways version (they're tighter to the block vs the OE type units).

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.

Looks good. I would remove the panhard bar mount on the rear end. That will give you clearance if you decide to run a full exhaust.

Well that would be par for the course. I will get motor set in soon and we'll see. I really wanted to keep stock-ish look. I guess speedway will work if it hits. Thanks for the heads up SCOTI

Yep.... same here. I wanted the OE look & purchased some new Dorman manifolds w/the intent of cutting them down & slicking the up a bit. Glad I checked fit 1st before doing all that work.

The Speedways tuck tighter to the block vs the OE ramhorns which allowed enough clearance for a shaft to squeeze in there.
