Our awesome buddy Jared sent me the starter from his Sierra since he replaced it with a new one. I bolted that sucker up real quick and it clears the headers great! Technology sure has improved....this stock starter is almost like a sbc mini starter. Now to move wiring around to get it hooked up but that'll have to wait a bit.
I am knee deep with reinforcing my frame. I've boxed it and have welded in rear upper and lower control arm reinforcements. I'm getting very close to painting and have been experimenting with coatings.
I painted a small section with a product called Mastercoat a few days ago, and attempted to destroy it today... unsuccessfully.
I initially scratched at it with my finger, and then the tip of a screw driver. It held up. I fired up the pressure washer and tried to blow it off, point blank. No dice. Lastly, I soaked a rag in acetone and attempted to rub through the coating and it didn't soften at all.
I think at this point I'm sold, and hope to get the remainder of the frame prepped and painted this weekend.

Pictures? Build thread? Hellwig kit? Home crafted?
Pulled the transmission, pretty much positive that the direct clutch is toast.
Time to find out.

I played bash the header tube! Still have a little more, but the kids are in bed and I'm sure the neighbors wouldn't like me hammering on metal at this hour. I did trim the lower control arm mount down to help...already touched up he paint on it.
Also got the starter wiring routed, but I've gotta do a shred event in the morning so it's time to shut the shop down.

I bet that is tormenting your OTC? Keep plugging away when you can. You need to drive this car.
Yep, for sure! Work has been nuts...usually 50hrs/week so I have to make time for family, house stuff, cutty time, etc. I'm not gonna give lame *ss excuses on why I can't work on the car, just gotta lay in there and get it! (Oops wrong thread).
I haven't really been documenting my work this time around, we're recovering from a pretty rough year and progress has been slow. I should get back on the horse, though..
The boxing was home crafted and the reinforcements are HR Parts N Stuff. I'm welding in a Southside Machine 8.8 truss kit, there isn't a whole lot of documentation yet on these.
