That's a problem sometimes.:lol:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Nice Build, David....

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Hahahha, you found my new build! Stop by occasionally. Oh yeah, we have yet to get that beer!!:lol:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Yeah, I know, I could slam a case easily right about now....

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

How about some pics!!! Did a little more to the windsheild and finally gathered all my parts to move them to the storage behind the shop. Got in my Calicombo tailgate delete kit last night, can't wait to open it and check it out!! And a little buzzed pinstriping from this weekend too. :lol:

It's coming together nicely. Cool pinstripe.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Looking good David!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Thank you bro!

A little here and there, slowly. My Porterbuilt stuff was kicked back 2 more weeks so we are at 12 weeks......uhhgg.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Nice! Following on Instagram and now on here !

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Cool! Glad to have you on board! Mon thru Thursday it's just easier to post from a desktop. Got some new pics going up today!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Never thought tilting the windsheild and cutting off the top of it would be so time consuming!! This is my first attempt at doing any kind of custom body work being that I just learned how to weld two weeks ago. I have a great appreciation for people who do this for a living. Weld, grind, look, weld, grind, look, repeat!! Finally got the top cover tacked on and started the final grinding for fitment. Put a downpayment on a LS1 and a 4L60E, it is being build to my specs as I am writing this. Should have it in a week or two. Pics to follow!!

Almost forgot! Had a special guest appearance by Blown06 from the forum, Jarrod. If you ever have a chance to meet this guy......run!!! HAHAHA, nah he is a great guy and it was nice to have him hang out at the shop for a while. Looking forward to seeing his project done!!!!:metal:

So your slick 67 build was the first build I'd ever read through when I bought my first 67' a few years ago, fast forward to a few weeks ago when I click on your build just to see how thing we're going for that beautiful ride (one of my favorite custom parts was the air cleaner) only to be heartbroken for you seeing it wrecked. Well it's very inspiring to see you not letting that stop you from building something SLICK again, so here's to ya, hope it all comes out like you plan.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

It was fun hanging out for a while and checking out the new project David.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Nice progress on the body. Looking for to the LS pics :metal:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Awesome!!! I am glad you came over to the new thread to say hi! That air cleaner cover seemed to be a hit, guess the Wild Turkey 101 was steering me in the right direction! :lol: Thank you for the compliments and I'll swing by your thread and check it out!!!

Seems like it was a month ago already. Absolutely enjoyed having you swing by and hang out, anytime you want just stop on in!!!

Uhhhggg. LS pics. He did get some things done to it and I am fine with him not having it completed. I did tell him to take his time! On another note, I talked to him last night and he told me that he found out that the LS3 intake he sold me could be purchased brand new for just a few bucks more than the one he had sold me off his shelf. How refreshing, a VERY honest mechanic. His price is right and tells you upfront what is happening....not bad for an ex-gang member turned business and family man!!! :metal:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Sweet!:chevy:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Alright, here it is. I will get all the specs from him personally tomorrow. What I know it has is flat top pistons, .030, all aluminum block, LS3 intake, huge cam, vette springs and a few things I am forgetting right now. The trans is a 4L60e with vette servo and is built for 500 hp.

Awesome looking motor and tranny.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

That's perty

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Thanks Guys! When you tell them "no paint" you get paint apparently. I wanted the block clean so the aluminum could shine through. Guess I'll be testing out a spray can of aircraft stripper to get it off. ERRRRRR!!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

Is it base LM7, LS1,2,3,6,7,9 ?

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

It is an all aluminum LS1. 1999 Camaro SS.
