Drug the 83 D150 out from behind the shed and started on building my son's first ride....!!!!! He's gotten the frame cleaned up pretty darn good for 15 years old and we dropped the rear end 5" and are working on dropping the front 2-3" to level her out.

The 318 is sitting in it now for mock-up and seeing if we like the color scheme....it was a go, so the body will match the engine color.

Now to get a 360 block and a 408 stroker kit with some worked heads (have a set of ported J-heads with 202/160 valves from a member here) Thanks Jimmy...!!!!!!

Here's a couple of pics:
