69 LWB build...needs a name

[Pete357]

Through out this winter im finally getting started on building my 69 gmc as my fun street toy. Decided to hang up my oval track racing for a season to enjoy the less stressful...well hopefully less stressful things of life. Still need a name for the project, if any creative minds have ideas chime in. These are some pics of how she sits now...race car had to sneak in one shot.

As of tuesday this week my ece 4.5/6 drop kit should be showing up ups.
As for other plans over winter she is getting shaved completely smooth, yes including a front roll pan, seems like people are debatable on that but i kind of like em.
Truck has a mild build 355 in it backed by a 4 speed saginaw.
Color of choice will be 1969 camaro hugger orange!

So i know my pictures kind of suck, cell phone pictures, its all i got, but here is the latest update.

4.5/6 drop is installed. That is the best pic i have for now. She will be outside tomorrow to turn it around so i can pull the motor. Ill try and get some good pics tomorrow outside.
When first planning this project i really didn't intend on doing a full motor build but i got dreams now.

Love it, looks like a great foundation for what I am sure will be a pretty awesome project... Maybe she should get one of those oval track engines for her christmas present that would be a fun way to scare the mustangs and camaro's.

Motor build should lay down a little more power than the circle track monte in the photo, as of right now im pretty well maxed on my budget for the build to do the motor but barely squeaking in rebuilding the 355 in it and stacking a weiand 177 blower on it. I definitely will try and get better pics tomorrow, ece drop turned out awesome. If i have to i will cut some interior work out of the picture, that can be done later on.

sounds like you have some skills, why don't you trade some work out with a interior shop...

Ehh, i went to school for truck and diesel mechanics, really only paid attention in engines fuel systems and trannys, small block chevys are pretty simple compared to diesels but i really just like working on my own stuff, i really dont want to go real fancy on interior anyways, want to kind of keep it a simple street strip truck.

and as far as skills go...i wouldn't even go that far, i still reference books and ask alot of stupid questions haha. All im skill full at is measuring and assembling.

Made some pretty good progress today, motor is down to bare bones, found a lot of disapointing junk inside of it for how healthy it ran but o well, time to break the bank and build a ford fryer!
