Are you going to graft the Camaro front subframe on there? It'd be a great way to lower the front end and it'd make locating the new engine a lot easier. Or did you guys already use another sub with the coil springs?

okay I have some Updated pics,







This frist one shows you how we are putting the rear windows in the cab this one did not have them, we like the look so we cut these out of the other cab we had to put in this one.




This pic shows you the view from the front of the truck. We are working on body work on the cab, the next thing to do is to weld the rear windows in then tackle the floor.


Here is a pic of the Door that we replaced some on the metal in.



And last but not least the powerplant in the making, this is a completly rebuilt long block motor that we are using.
