Re: Project '86
A little progress for you
Got the engine mocked up and welded the mounts to the cross member. During mock up I saw I needed a little more room for the oil pan so I took care of that as well

Re: Project '86
Dig the tailgate "button" & the little weld stand/table.
It's amazing what can be done on a smaller/sturdy weld table. Keep us posted on the progress. |

 .. Been gone for awhile good to see you working on the truck. I bet your son is grinding by now with his pops instead of just sitting in the front seat. The front member looks great. Your work on the Blue chevy is excellent. Cant wait to see whats next, after all you have a roof over your head now.

Re: Project '86
It may have changed... I have the V3, tubular version.
But there is a "locator tab" on the shock mount. That tab goes into the old mounting hole, and you drill new holes for mounting the shock mount. Hope that helps... I'll take pics if you need. I do have a 77, but should be roughly the same.

Re: Project '86
Some one with skill such as your self must see alot of trash on vehicles...
You must from time to time just see stuff that you cant even fault them for, but just give them a nod and say "A for effort" haha

Re: Project '86
Got bored this afternoon and was itching to make something. Decided to fancy up the core support.
   Gonna clean it all up and weld it in later this week. |
