That is a work of art, and the transmission must be one of those air shift models. :) In all seriousness what trans are you/is he planning to run? Looks to be an auto but no clue.

This one was sitting in my backyard for at least 10 years now on pallets with no chassis. A friend of mine said that he had a chassis that he wanted to get rid of so I got a little bit off track 🫣🙄! Sold the motor and transmission now what is the plan for it you ask??
Well I haven't got a plan for it yet lol 😂 gotta go just saw a squirrel 🐿️!

Is that an S-10 chassis?
Nope factory frame with a Camaro front clip. Has a s10 wheel on it though!
I went down that rabbit hole and couldn't figure out why it even got so popular!
Didn't make any sense to me. Once you source the chassis and cut all the brackets off then buy the conversion brackets and you still have a open diff with undesirable gears and drum brakes in the rear. Doesn't make sense to me!

1000003869.jpgended up buying a 86 Corvette by accident while looking for suspension parts and stumbled across this covered in 1/2" of dust sitting for over 8 years and I was thinking I was buying it for the suspension parts and pieces. However after cleaning it all up I thought Holly **** this thing is really nice and low mileage 72,000 on the clock. Drained fuel and put some fresh gas in it and got it to fire for 2 seconds and die again. Today I finally got it to run after replacing the vats module and the vats key chip reader. Took it for a test drive last night and it runs awesome! Unfortunately replacing that stuff required to disassemble the entire dash! Also replaced the battery and the alternator. . The interior and motor bay now looks like new!
What am I going to do with it now?
Probably sell it because I think I might have to many projects going on already!
Feels good to get this 40 year old girl back on the road! 1000004730.jpg1000004738.jpg
