Well have been focused on the 1971 DT1 motorcycle restore which is now basically complete!! yes!!
So now moving on to her truck! The front end is coming apart for all new components. Im thinking of having the Radius arms and tie rods and new springs powder coated to match but we'll see.
Tranny is all done, C6 all rebuilt with heavy duty clutches etc and a 2400rpm Stall converter.
Motor should be done in a couple week. Went with a 390 rebuild that should put out around 440hp. Making this beast NOT a daily driver.
Your daughter is a lucky girl to have such a great father to restore a truck with.
I'd always wanted to do somethin' like that, it creates a bond like no other between the two child and parent. What color is that red called? I like that shade of red, almost like a dark maroon metallic, or something? Glad to see you went with a FE. Standing by for more pictures. Hope the breakfast was good.
