Thanks for the words of encouragement guys!!
Gotta order a disc break kit & lines for the rear & start checking around for a 5.3l
engine and 4l60 trans. out of a 05 or 06 chevy, going that direction with the drivetrain
since I sold my other engine.
Heres a pic of it mocked up before it was taken apart to have the frame sandblasted,
and the rest of bodywork and primer done
