Thanks Jess for the pc info., Chevy orange for the engine paint?

Pulling my hair out on my harnesses, second one for the EFI, made the mistake of pulling shrouding off, ended up a big birds nest...I do have a nice GMPP aluminum manifold if you want to make a deal

Sometimes, I wish I stayed old school...

Pc looks great, and good work and thanks for the compliments

[zicc1835]

no real progress all summer I dropped the motor and trans in the frame this weekend . 1. to measure drive shaft 2. get it out of the other garage ...maybe mock up the exhaust....cab sits in waiting now summer is over we will close up the shore house and make some real progress

[zicc1835]

finally stole some time mocked up the front brake lines InLine tube makes that a simple proposition rears are basically going to come together after i get a few brakets and clamps from CPP cut and flare the pre-bent lines to fit the rear disc.conversion

Looks like it’s going to be a serious handler with those suspension mods and nice work on the brake lines

thanks Andy ..the expirence like anything else more you PC better you get, its fun and relatively inexpensive compared to sending the small parts to a Pro at least thats what I have found here in Jersey I have a bunch of parts that are prepped just haven’t found the time to get to them ....but stay tuned

[zicc1835]

some progress DS cleaned up and installed, shocks mocked and today started on the exhaust kit . Im going to have to fab a bracket, something to hold the mounts to the after market shock cross member modify the H- pipe so it will run thru the trailing arm C-member. Anybody that has used this kit( Flowmaster american thunder )have pictures they can share?

[cornerstone]

I tried the "Pypes" 2.5" duals kit designed for our trucks and had to return it because I have the same trailing arm crossmember. These 2 systems (Flo-Master and Pypes) are intended to run underneath the the factory trailing arm crossmember. The only solution I could find was to buy a builders kit and route it where I needed it to go, not too bad a job and actually cheaper as well. If I can find some pics I'll PM them to you.
