Hey Jeremy...just checked the update from the weekend and the car is looking awesome. That front end looks tough sitting there with the motor in it. Keep it up. Congrats

no the truck pan hangs way to low, not sure what this pan comes on from the factory.

Can you measure the rear depth on your pan for me,just from the rear pan rail where the gasket goes to the bottom of the sump on the outside if your able to get to it,Ive got a couple different pans up at my work I would like to compare it to before I go ahead and order one,Thanks again

sure it will be a few days before i can the car is at my buddies house awaiting the block sanding and sealer.

no problem,whenever you get a chance is good for me,I'm not in a big hurry.Thanks again

ok the car is back at the house, the outside has been blocked and sealed, the body lines look great on the car thanks to REX, the door jams, trunk and hood jams have been painted the color of the car (black) and cleared. also the interior metal has been sealed and the dash has been painted black and cleared. so the car will go back for final paint after i finish working under the hood of the car and doing the wiring. i want to work on the car before it gets painted to keep from leaning on a fresh paint job while working on the car. you can notice i have a 3 inch drop up front, i used the lower tubular a-arms to get a 2 inch drop along with 1 inch lowering springs, i still have to pull the gas tank, rearend, and leaf springs, once they are out i will be sanding, painting, and replacing them, i will also be installing the rear disk brakes at that time and lowering the rear of the car 3 inches. well enough talk here are the pics.

any chance you can get a chance to measure the oil pan for me,Thanks Chris

Just curious why the hood scoop is so tall, cause it looks like you don't need the clearance for an air cleaner?

7 1/2 from lip to bottom

i just like the look of the 4 inch cowl hood, plus the car is getting a magnacharger at the first of next year, been tough trying to start from the bottom up, money only allows alil at a time.

ok here is a lil update, i been sanding alot of rearend parts, waiting on rearend parts, painting rearend parts, and i am tired of 41 year old rearends. anyway the underside back half of the car has been sanded to metal and undercoated with 3m undercoating, rex did the front half, the rearend has been taken to metal and repainted, along with the gas tank. i ended up having to get new rear leaf springs as one of them was broken. i worked on the fuel system today and got that finished up. more pictures will come as i begin to install the leaf springs and rearend. enjoy

Did you use RAPTOR LINER or POR-15 on the underneath of your car? Looks good.:beers:

ok i had the day off and thought i would try to make some progress on the car today, i got more done than i thought i would and it wasn't to bad considering i worked on it by myself. i did get the rearend installed and the rear disk brakes and lines, next step is to bleed the brakes so that will be done along with the fuel system. i ordered 1 7/8 ceramic coated headers for the car and they have a 2 week wait period so it looks like there will be a lil break period before i can do anything else to the car. ok onto the pics.

heres a radio guage pod i am building, dash already had a cut so i thought i would do something custom to blend the dash with the 4th gen console

updates in the link above

What brand are those 1 7/8" headers ? How do they fit ? The car's looking great !
