My 66 Build
Here it is the first day i brought it to the shop
 Really started going on it the beginning of last month. Got a front clip out of a 84 suburban for disc brakes and 5 lug. Bagged the clip before i put it in. Got the clip in then z'd the front. After we did the fron we got the back going, we did a back half with mandrel bent frame rails, and right now it has a 2 link. The 2 link may change. Also bought the truck with a 350 in it with the original 3 speed manuel transmission. Got a turbo 400 for it. Plans for the motor consist of painting the block green all the pulleys silver. Got a edelbrock intake for it. Well here are some pics of the build so far
