Finally talked my wife into letting me get a new project. My wife's cousin and me picked up this '98 GMC with Chevrolet front end the other day. 2link with Watts link in back, bagged with stock control arms in front. Definitely a work in progress. We are splitting the price of everything, one day one of us will buy the other out.
Things to do:
1) Interior was completely shot due to a previous owner attempting to paint. Dash busted, missing more plastics than it had, headliner wrapped in horrible tweed, vinyl floors, busted up leather bucket seats. Didn't get a before picture but have already replaced lots of it with nice parts from junk yard. Bought 60/40 bench with fold down console and carpet at junk yard yesterday and pressure washed carpet with purple power today. Steering wheel is also upside down??
2) Some of the worst wiring I have ever seen! When i get home tonight the re-wiring begins.
3) A/C doesn't work - a must in southeast Texas.
4) Previous owner did a nice job building an exhaust system that exits in front of passenger side rear tire, but it touches the ground when laid out.
5) Wheels - Should be here Friday.
6) 350 vortec is feeling a little weak.
The good news is that the fabrication seems very well done, and it has a fresh coat of paint.
Day I bought it:
