Haha! I don't see you doing that.
Reminds me, when I was stationed in Arlington, there was an aluminum V8 from a current GTO at Ft Myers auto shop. Someone had dropped it off for a project and then never returned. The motor sat on a pallet next to where I was building my XJ. When I was packing my stuff to move I was soooo tempted to take it with me. 3 years and nobody had heard from whoever left it. It's probably still sitting there now, collecting dust. Damn morals. Lol!
Frame back from powder coating, my son STEVE dropped in running gear and exhaust , had the headers ceramic coated looks pretty good, next body will be set on frame,

Love the color. The one piece door glass is a great mod.
You going to take it to Ouray so we can all drool over it??
Great thread except it is kind of making me depressed about my dented up old rust bucket.

yeehaw front fenders are on and looking good, slowly putting it all back together right now mostly wiring looms and plumbing receiver hitch powder coated and installed, all fits behind the bumper the 33's don't look that tall anymore!
Thanks guys we only work on the truck 1 or 2 days a week so taking a while (only 4 years) hopefully we can show it at Rods to Rails in Jamestown end of July
Been down in Baja just noticed your post Charles, that picture was taken before lines were remounted in the stock engine/trans location , this truck was mocked up and then blown apart for painting/powder coating/new engine/etc.so was not completely back together in the picture. some of the exhaust (by the fuel tank) will be wrapped with thermotec (which is too close for comfort). After working on hand built cars for a number of years I appreciate how well thought out factory built cars are (well most of time) been on this four years and still don't know if everything will work right!!
Hi, May I ask what fuel cover opening/closing that you used..? I may have to do the same thing because I want to move to a bigger tank just as you have but on the J20, the fuel entry is up by the drivers door and I don't think they make a fuel fill hose that long... Which fuel fill hose did you use also... Thanks in advance..

Painted the front grille valance? And dash board, dash is upside down in picture painting the bottom of dash body color upper will be gray or black haven't decided yet, if you look close you can see ac vents should look pretty good when complete
Dashboard installed, looks like the ac louvers will work, I was originally going fab a piece underdash that looked like factory ac but lucked out finding louvers small enough to fit thin horizontal strip bottom of dash, rest of truck is slowly coming together i.e. All the plumbing most everything I made for the ac heat pwr str hydroboost tranny worked out
