  • Putting it back in for the last time.

    Here she goes back in after redoing the suspension and brakes. She's nestled in there nicely now with the motor back together and the new headers on. It's gonna sit about 4 inches lower. It's going to have a completely different look. Check out those motor mounts.

          Wows. I like the way your instrument cluster is so accessible. I have to change a turn signal indicator bulb on a 55K and have to train a mouse to carry, turn, remove, replace and turn.

                That's dust from years of being left in it......

                Won't be a problem now!

                  That's the stock steering column and shift lever - cut off at the box and linked to the rack. The standard column shifter will be adapted to operate the automatic transmission.

                    Here it is all tucked in for the night. It fits nicely but there's still a bunch of work to do.
