also installed the gmpp retro fit oil pan, looks close, we'll see how close it is once this thing is down......

ebay headers will need some massaging to work. but nothing major!!!

Re: Project: Tall Grass
 

I guess I best come git my shoes, bin meanin to call ya but obviously haven't...

Re: Project: Tall Grass
 

I need some specs on those headers if you don't mind. They look like they fit great. Who makes them?

Re: Project: Tall Grass
 

The headers are low buck stainless peices from DNA motoring on ebay.

they fit, well ok, the passanger side required trimming a bit of the flange off the inpection cover area of the trans, and the drivers side has one tube that is too close to the control arm shaft, but I can massage it to work, but for the price the headers are well built and id buy em again, oh ya they are for a 99-02 F body camaro/ firebird.. cant wait to get home and work on this thing......



and yes Tony, lets get them shoes on your orange buggy, its gonna be one KILLER truck!!!!

Re: Project: Tall Grass
 

Gimme a ringa-ding-ding-ding-dong when you're back from work.

Re: Project: Tall Grass
 

well folks, im headed back to work, with almost no progress, all I managed to do were draw up some upper bag mounts and have them lasered out. I feel bad, maybe ill go out and tack em up before I leave , then ill feel like I accomplished SOMETHING..


why the lack of progress ?? well you see Mr Phat Tony is a bad bad man.
Thanks to him , he just had to give me a killer deal on another truck.....

here she is, the plans are to get wheels that match, a proper stance ie LOW.

scuff and shoot in red satin , and beat on it till the 64 is done, then it can become a nice lil hot rod too!!!
