Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

Pretty successful weekend. Strapping sheet metal back on after the transmission crossmember went in. I've got the core frame mocked, inner and outer fenders on, and the cab is on its mounts. Playing with angles, rake, and trying to decide on how I'd like to mount the radiator. Test fitted the radiator. Plenty of room in front of the block for a fan, however I can see there will need to be some pretty tight elbows in the bottom radiator hose.

Still haven't figured out the accessory belt. There is a long list of small projects I can start working on now that the sheet metal is in place. Brake booster, steering, headers...very exciting to be working on something that looks like a truck again
