Default Jig A Low's project

Hey guys, just wanted to post up a picture of my project. this thing has been a real learning experiance for me but I've loved every minute of it. it's a long way from done but man has it been a load of fun.

the frame and every suspension component has been blasted and powder coated, 100% new brake system from the master cyl. down to the pads, new fuel lines, bushings, ball joints, steering components, and the list goes on and on.

the original 350 is now a 383 with tons of torque and low end punch (build for cruising). the orange on the block and transmission is going to be on the body as well. I figured while it's out of the car there' no reason not to make it look pretty too.



Here's a link to my photo site where there are a bunch of other pictures too

I saw what you started with. Great job! Is it going to be blue or are you going with the orange?
