Lookn better and better everytime I see it. At this rate you should keep er'. It's going to be lookn pretty damn hard once all the parts are on and she's rolln down the road.
 
warren thanks bro and im loving those wheel wells you got stupid skills fam.

Nick, Jordan wants me to keep it forever like the cutty. im not sure if that will be the case but i know that i'll have it for a long time now. best parts is that since shes down to let me keep both gbody cars i still can get a true old school 70 monte or nova to add to the collection in a couple years. thats how long its going to take for me to be happy with my G rides anyway before they're 100% complete.
 
Well GBF i had a pretty good saturday with the car and my friends. The SS feels like a real car now. Shes not running yet but oh so close now. A huge positive is the starter is running in full effect so i have power now 😀 headlights, blinkers etc.
Right now the frame and A ar looks bad but thats why its going to look so much better in the end with the before and after shots....PLUS a lot of cleaning :| :puke:

after that i even got the engine to crank with the help of my boy Nick.
its was my 1st time hearing the engine this baby has been silent since the day i got it. As now, i know what else needs to be done to complete this engine stuff. Small fuel leak went down right at the fuel pump, as if the male end of the AN fitting couldn't fully screw into the fuel pump because the threaded part was to long. the fuel drained from the exposed thread of the fitting.

passenger header on now.

I should change the name from "budget build" to "custom budget build" since this didnt go the stock route. mainly this is all aftermarket stuff but all low budget spending for sure. specs wise the ss is a nice build, funds wise its awesome.

That looks really really good, you can't not be proud of that. I hope I get the funds for a 350 soon and I get such clean results.
