Haven't gotten much done lately, except for cleaning the blazer gas tank crossmembers up and having them powder coated. And buying some parts to connect my steering column up to the box once the front suspension mods are done. I have mostly been trying to find some more parts to help me create this thing. Seems everything I find is 100s of miles away, seems to me that most pontiac fans are in the northeast & west. I was looking around on craigslist today and found an ad for a car with a 455 for sale for $500 obo, sadly after black friday I am once again broke.
But I hope to have my frame shortened and the suspension mods all done by the end of december. Then start working on getting the engine in the truck, but I think I may have my mind set on a manual trans now instead of the auto, which will set me back a little. Finding a bell housing I can afford may not be the easiest thing to do, i've got some extra 73-87 chevy/gmc truck parts listed locally so I can possibly get the cash or trade for the stuff i'm looking for.
I will post more pics as I get some actual work done.
