She's powered by a 454 with a turbo 350 tranny, headers, flowmasters and side exhaust. I can't wait for her to be ready!

I noticed that you put in electric windows. Did you have many problems mounting them? It looks like to had to cut the lower door. How do they mount on your truck?

I should be squirting color on the firewall soon myself and my exitment level is up there too Stuart http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sublime589/my_photos | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31 | More work has been done on the engine (see the link above for pics).
I also took some shots of how the power windows look. I have a hot rod shop building her up so I'm not sure about everything they did.
The original owner really hacked up the doors to get the windows in there. I had my guys replace the motors with new ones.

Start saving for replacement tires now! You'll be leaving them on the pavement soon! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31 | The cab is chopped. I think it looks more aggressive that way. I have door poppers since everything is shaved.
I believe it's "channeled" as well. Although I'm not quite sure what that means (hahaha). I'm new to the hot rod world.
The old hood had a ton of bondo on it -- so I got ahold of a hood in perfection condition. We're making it one piece and putting 80s style Camaro scoops into it (small ones). This was on the original hod rodded hood and I really like it.
I can't till she's done. Hopefully it will be a few more months. I'll keep sending weekly updates as long as they keep working on her.
