That is really nice!! I am jealous, my daily driver is going to get a bath for the Spring Roundup and that is about it. I am going to stay with a small block in the '87 and the Ramcharger will have the big block.

Here's another with the seats in place. We're re-working the dash insert and gauges. Anybody have an int. rear view mirror with good glass to sell?

That is a great example of a Father/Son team at work!! Glitches and all, that is how it is done. I can remember firing up a fresh Ford 400 and C6 trans in the company ramp truck. My boss and I spent all the first moments tending the engine and forgot to top off the transmission with fluid. We roasted the new seals in the transmission Argh!! Two weeks later and another trans build, he was out there towing. You always learn more from your mistakes, than when every thing goes as planned. I love your video and will post a link to it in my newsletter. When everything is all together and broken in, you need to make a trip to Renegade to see how it does on the track.

Man! I love the build. Kinda gave me a kick in the pants to get back onto my 84. I've been searching for a rear mount fuel tank setup (other than a fuel cell or RC donor) and ran across your setup.. super clean! I'll be copying the tank mounting/setup, so huge thanks for sharing.

The countdown to completion has begun (no, really!). After finding color mismatches between various panels and a multi-week setback to gut and respray everything (base/clear and even yellowier), we're back on track. Sheetmetal hung, doors loaded. Made new arm rests. Bottom is one of the old, nasty ones. Middle is a wooden slug. Top is slug wrapped in 'leather'. Door panel "restored" with bed-liner, paint, and arm rest. More meat for the rear. Off to the glass shop earlier today for a windshield install. More to come over the next couple of weeks.

Door panels look great! Inovative restoration tec. on those. Might try that myself. Great tip. Thanks. It worked well for us.
