Starting a new project

[Thumpn]

I picked up this S10 pick-up for a $100 on Sat and am getting on it right away. This one will be NA for now, maybe turboed later. the plans are to be stripped down sand blasted, repainted, frame 4 linked, 350 block bored 60 over, turbo 350 tranny, Ford 9 in rear end, but still be streetable. The plan is to have it done by the time my daughter gets her licence and she can race it. So that means before the end of the year.

my step daughter picked the truck that she wanted. she is paying for it and the plan is to build it for under 2k. so far we are still under $750 and we just about have all the parts needed to complete the project.

Sweet... just wish I could of seen it go down the strip a little sooner. I had to put it off, so it sits. Your project looks good though.
