77 CC squarebody sfbd build thread..it rolls and runs

the place i used to live untill a couple of years ago was cool like that too they didnt mind me working on cars either :

The property owner lets you tear up your cars like that in their lot? Hell if I would do that here in Cali I would be arrested!

i dont know how to explain it but the homes are owned by a foundation and are heavily subsidized , there for people with low incomes , think you cal them the projects in the states
like i said this was an exception , the buildings are torn down now thats why i left there , about everyone living there was doing something illegal or damaging to there home from collecting metals to growing weed they all keopt there mouths shut and it was a fun place to live , i now live a it more upscale but that allso means i can do less of this sort of stuff

whatever works !!!! greaT PICS i was like wow, thats badass haha car sitting on its side in the front yard lol

who needs a jack... just flip the car over on its side...lmao

Today i got the transmission linkage hooked up. it shifts pretty good. not stock, but it works...
the trans crossmember and the mount are bolted up and tight..
:edit: ( i got a wild hair and decided to keep working on it..lol)
pics tomorrow... to dark to see.

the steering shaft is welded up. it steers again! no bind ups, and no slop...the control arm doesn't hit the heim when the suspension is fully compressed..

i got the rivets ground off of the front leaf hangers. (im slacking on the rear of the truck, i know...lol)

a friend came over tonight and helped me set the clip and front bumper back on.( i need a new bumper)
this bad boy is starting to look like a truck again...

you could leave the frontbumper on there for a bit and see how far you can grind it down on the maiden dropped run

This is a great build. Just read the whole thing, awesome! It's really answered alot of my questions.

i second that. drag the crap out of it haha ..and yes, its a very informative thread.

thanks guys. im not 100% sure, but i think the front bumper will be very close to the ground. but not all the way.....

The front clip is on for good.. I got the radiator and the electric fans mounted. the upper and lower radiator hoses are installed. (no pics)

pics! ..the whole truck needs a serious bath....

the bumper is setting on there not bolted up. its all kinds of whacked out on the pass side. but it was like that before i took the truck apart... (check out the first page pic) somebody put a bumper jack on it and tweaked it up. i think the top bracket is bent as well... oh well. pull a part here i come..

bumper will be about an inch closer to the ground than mine, i just finished doing a small burnout, and raised it a bit, johny law was right there, maybe this is the reason for my goofy facial expression..

what size radiator is on your truck? its tiny..
