Continuing the Bucket Build

The ideal process in building one of these is to fabricate and install as much as possible before painting. I installed the entire chassis system minus the brake lines and reached a point where I felt it was time to make some permanent installations.

I found a local painter and had the frame painted House of Kolor Tangerine. The color came out beautiful. The body won't be painted until the end but at least now I was able to get to work.

An Edelbrock 350ci 320hp motor has arrived looking spiffy. A TCI transmission was also delivered so the next step for me is to get the motor and transmission mounted.
Still in the crates the motor and tranny take up too much garage space and to keep Cherie happy I need to leave room for her car. Once the drivetrain is installed I can get too work on the brakes, wiring, radiator and much, much, more...............
