I decided to a go to different platform. G-body, F-body, even had a J-body for a minute, got another G-body sold that for a sickening profit and bought................. a GMC S-15. yup, fat man in a little truck. But the o-too-bad-so-sad part is, the engine was blown. :'( so heres a little picture story about what I did.
day 1: YAY truck!! paid $600 not $1200
day 2: OM NOM NOM NOM goes the saw-zaw
day 3 and 4: engine mounts dont fit!!! had to modify the frame, put the engine side on the frame and frame side on the engine...yeaaaaaa
day 5: Three large dunkin ice coffee, 1 Monster Khaos, a 6 pack of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and a 6 pack of Flying Fish.
all together I have about 23 hours into the build spread over 2 weeks.
