Looks good, I like the shiny wheels.

87Lowrider · 07-26-2015, 09:34 AM

Thanks, I'm leaning towards the grey and need to decide soon. Researching sizes and offsets on here now.

Motor was delivered to the body shop last week.

Motor is a 5.3L out of a 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4, with 88k miles on it. Actually saw it run before purchasing it so that's good.

Here's some more chassis pics too

Have ordered a rebuilt 4L65 for the engine. Looking at Painless's harness setup to tie it all together.

Thanks gang.. looking forward to getting the tranny and wiring harness so we can install the drivetrain...

With the exception of a little work to the steps, all the body work is done. /Ken

I haven't been able to get by the shop in the last few weeks but I'll try and get by there next week and get some pics;

I know they were getting ready to mate the 4L65 / 5.3l (2008) / Fi-Tech combo soon. That and brake lines / fuel lines.. we'll see.

Looking good! What is you plans for your latches? I grafted them into my original door panels to keep the look.

Not sure if the shop has any special plans beyond nice door panels, wx stripping and paint to finish off the inside. It should be about ready for paint this or next week. Shop doing some internal updates to booth, kinda stagnate right now but hopeful it will start moving soon.

87Lowrider · 07-17-2021, 11:24 AM

Stopped by the shop yesterday... Finally getting some paint on the steps, engine compartment and door insides...

**joedoh** · 04-06-2021, 08:26 PM
