For sure. The frame down minus the tcase and wheels is going up for sale next month. I hope to sell as a full rolling chassis. But you are pretty far away.

As soon as it’s done and you see it still on 33’s

building it to run 35s. We’ll see how long it takes for me to upgrade them.

More progress. The body is almost ready to come off the frame. Hopefully next week it will be up on the rotisserie.



I forgot to post a picture of the front axle. This is what will be supporting the front end.

Nice axle! The full body pic kind of looks like a desert pre-runner/chase truck now that all the stuff is stripped off of it.

It does, it would be a cool direction, but not for me in Michigan.

For sure. The biggest one is the 360. Still don’t have a definitive date on completion.

Still have a way to go. I’ll feel a lot better once the tub is blasted and we’ll see what needs to be repaired, but Thank You!!

Hopefully there won’t be too much needing repair!

Man, when I see threads like this I get the itch to do the same thing. Glad I've got a wedding to pay for this Summer.

For sure, also you would lose some of that sentimental connection going too far from original.

Here the fist picture of the 360 I've seen all painted up in AMC blue. It should really pop with the engine bay blacked out.

 

[TOPLESS]

It’s really gonna look good against all that black.
