Started some rust repair on the roof today. Slowly but surely it will be a solid body once again

This is a hard one to decide on. A time capsule would be cool but like you said. Its hard to beat the modified life!

Slowly but surely I am making progress. Decided to make a booth in the shop to wire wheel the frame (not recommended at all) about half way through I decided it was too nasty to continue that way. My plan is to pull the frame into the driveway and finish it out there. I am however on the fence...

I'm glad to hear it gives someone hope because I don't see the light at the end of this tunnel! Unfortunately my 40 is sitting on the back burned right now

I'm a little behind on posting lately, but we have a shell and a frame. Time for media blasting and body work to start

Coming apart is the quick side of things unfortunately.

Got some more work done on the swine. I still need to get the glass and tailgate off. A few more odds and ends and the body can come off and the frame will be ready for sand blasting

The Trans feels tight just playing with the shifter. I'm going to pull both apart and inspect it all and reseal it.

Awesome thanks guys! Is there a way to get this thread moved over? Thanks in advance

Aside from being swiss cheese! Thank you sir

What 55 page do you speak of?? And thank you!

Tonight went at it again tonight getting the front clip off along with the drivetrain out. I pulled the head off to see if everything was kosher and it looks pretty nasty inside. The cross hatching on the cylinder walls is almost fully gone with alot of vertical streaks not to mention the head...

Tuesday night I got a bit of work done on stripping it down

I recently picked up a 1978 55 series. I might of bit off more then I can chew on this one but the plan is keeping it stock and making it nice again, aside from an ome lift and some 33 inch skinnys on factory wheels.

Got my turbo swapped yesterday and results were as planned. Lots more boost and lights quicker then ever, I'm going to do a wicked wheel here soon and hopefully get it to light even harder and quicker. Put a new synthetic winch line on and also a new clutch master, lost mine on a drive yesterday...
