Front tires are ordered and will be here tomorrow. MSD external fuel pump just showed up and 16 gallon fuel cell is scheduled to be delivered today too. Picked up a Smooth weld in roll pan and door handle filler plates for shaved doors a few days ago too. Slowly getting the parts for the exterior :D

Some update pictures:

Cut out the drivers side fender to fit the 22. It gets extremely close to the fender lip so I'm going to trim that back a 1/2" or so. I don't want to scrape up the rim if im hitting sides or blow a bag. Bolted the steering rack back on and discoverd that I will need to notch the frame for the tie rods. They are hitting the frame and holding up the truck from laying in front by about 1/2-3/4".

Props to the work. The thing I wanna know is how are you to ger the hood to fit and not look goofy. Please tell you are not gonna run a hood with a cowl those things to not belong on a mini trucks.

Nice!!! its one of those van/Trucks(whatever you wanna call them) from the Prohibition Era lol

I'm not positive on the hood yet. If I run a late model cavalier intake w/ a cone filter on it, it'll fit w/o modifying the hood. If I dont do that intake, I may be able to just cut the factory intake and make an angled filler plate and weld that back up. Who knows.... All I'm worried about right now is pushing up the hood w/ the tires hitting the underside of the hood.

Nice looking project! You should do a stock floor body drop on that and do a 1 off frame. What motor is in it?

Just a little update

Hoping to have the other three 22's wrapped in tires in the next week or 2.

have u decided what engine ur gonna put on it or just going to rebuild the stock??

hotboxn · **Posted:** Fri Apr 23, 2010 9:31 am

For now I'm gonna just keep the stock one in there. Once I can afford an LSx motor, I'll get one of those.
