Update:" Project Brown Hornet "

Men,

I thought I would post some more pics of my 82' SWB project before I start replacing metal and hitting it with the rattle can. She was pretty beat up when I bought her (as the pics will show). Hopefully I can get her on the road and to paint before the baby comes in January.

1st pic of the interior as it is today. I am thinking about replacing the bench with (2) buckets and a console from a 80' Suburban. Need to replace the dash bezel (cracked in half right by the gauges) and the dash pad (getting a donor from a 84' GMC dually). Also going to switch out the rusted doors & door panels with donors I got from another member (thanks again RonnieTheBull).

2nd pic is of the Olds 260 V8 / th350 combo she is currently running. It is orginally a 6 cyl. Canadian made truck but, somewhere along the way, the 6 was swapped out with the drive train from a 76' Oldsmobile Omega.

Slow going but I hope to get some work accomplished in the next couple of weeks after I fix a small tranny leak @ the modulator. Then it is time to strip some paint
