I pulled my truck out of the shop and pressure washed and degreased the frame and firewall almost ready to paint it now. Before that I have a portable sandblaster i will use on the frame. Does anyone know of a really good chassis gloss black?

POR-15 makes alot of different paints that hold up very well.

ive herd you have to cut pat of the fram to fit the tl1 acc brackets in the truck is this true? nice lookin drive train you got there!! keep us posted! alos if you lookin for lt1 stuff TB ect try corvetteforum.com and thirdgen.org both places have a lot of lt1 stuff for sale! ive been a member at both for a while now some good peps might be able to find what your lookin for, if your still lookin!!

If you try and use the stock location of the AC, yes you have to cut the frame. But here is a pic I found of a bracket Im trying to locate that moves it up high where ours are originally.If I cant find it ill make one(my family owns a machine shop:)And thanks for the links ill look into that. While I have it this far apart im replacing all the front end bushings with red Energy Suspension ones and shaving some stuff on the firewall.

http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/...d.php?t=244906 i put that together but noone paid much attention apparently but, it might help you out finding some parts you might need. good progress by the way! i already found brand new corvette acc brackets and will be picking them up tomorow for that factory look.

Just got my headers in over the weekend. They dont look to be bad quality at all. I just set them on my engine to take a couple pics and see how they fit.





lemme know what you guys think of them.

Got some sandblasting done and painted my driveshaft to see what the paint will look like. Its no where near done with the blasting, it was just too cold to do much outside.

Here is my new Energy motor mounts, sway bar end links and greasable bushings, and tie rod boots. Im also gonna get the a-arm bushings when i take them off to powdercoat them. Should i just do my suspension in all low gloss black or do parts in silver also? Lemme know what you guys think.

[Blad]

put some silver in there to give it more of a finished look and brighten things up a bit

[91blkstpsd]

I think Im gonna do the suspension parts silver and the frame gloss black like the driveshaft. I think all the red suspension bushings are gonna look nice with this also. Anyone with pics of this or similar?

Here is a couple pics of some stuff I painted this weekend. I painted the ac compressor, altenator, sway bar and end links in a silver metallic. I think it is goin to look really nice when together. The paint I used is for wheels. I used it cause it is resistant to chemicals, brake dust, and other greases. Also got my BBK 52mm throttle body in and its just sitting on right now, have to get new gaskets for it.Lemme know how you guys think its coming.
