Btw, does anyone have a single Kmember bolt I can buy off them.

I found one with questionable threads and I'd rather swap it out now.

Thanks Bigs!!!

Got a couple new parts and I didn't know the bigblock got the rounded axle bumpers!!!

I liked the brushed finish on the tuff wheel.

Instead of Wheels Up! I'm happy to say Wheels down!!

Finished up putting the axle bumpers on, repainted some areas on the rear end after installing the chunk, some minor body work and she is ready to go back for paint touch up. While gone the motor goes on the kmember and starting to pull this sucker together!

B

p.s. No the rake won't sit that low normally but wow it's low in front. She is just sitting on casters.  :scared:

Might have some bad news, or at least a little set back but the show will continue.

With the new motor going in and the torque and hp ratings it looks like the front right frame rail might need some replacing.
