    Sorry, going to be a little slow going now. Camaro is on the hoist and I’ve been collecting parts for my stock car. Next I’ll need to get that ready for the track! But THEN, it’s back to the M715, lol.

    Booooo!!! But we understand. As long as you are having fun, that is the main thing.

    I started getting hooked on your frequent posts there for a bit, and wanted to see what direction you were going to go. The bumpers, the dash, I mean, who is this guy!?!

    Racing is done for the year and she’s back in the shop! The Dana 60 front is almost done, just waiting on a few last parts to arrive to put it back together. The 14 bolt for the rear is only waiting on seals and parking brake kits then it’s good to go.

    Got the chassis stripped the rest of the way today, and I think I figured out my plan to move the front spring perches. The shackle flip out back seems to be worth about 2.5” of lift, and spring over on the D60 up front looks to be worth about 6”. I’ll take the springs in this week and get the front de-arched about 2” and new bushings. Rear bushings (and posts on the truck) are mint, so I’ll just get the rears re-arched about an inch. That should still be 1/2” high on the front but I figure better that way and I’ll just block the rear up to whatever looks right.

    My satin black POR-15 should show up next week too. Novak motor mounts are here and so is my new steering box and pitman arm, so lots to do! Guess I should get at this 350 and look over the trans and transfer case one of these days too...

    More progress. Front springs have been moved under the frame to match up with the D60 kingpin perches. I didn’t like the shackle angle on the rear after the shackle flip so I carefully drilled out the rivets and welds and moved the shackle mounts forward. Front axle is ready to mount as soon as the paint dries!

    I got all new glass and seals. My black vinyl stars showed up.

    I got rid of the 37 x 12.5” tires and have 40” x 13.5 on the way. I was going to use my old H2 rims but after a few hours grinding and smoothing corroded chrome enough to get some OD green on them I decided it wasn’t going to look good and ordered some beefy steel rims instead. They’re satin black and I haven’t decided if I’m going to leave them or shoot them in OD green...

    I also decided to LS swap my 83 Camaro. That means the healthy 350 in it gets a new home between the frame rails of the M715. Should save lots of time on the M715 build over rebuilding the old 350 I had for it. All I need to do is swap the headers out for some centre dump manifolds I have and switch the Holley 700 DP to an Edelbrock 4 barrel with electric choke that I just got.

    Next up, frame paint and getting the rear axle buttoned up!

    I am very jealous. Nice welds. What kind of welder are you using for frame work?
