I took my Subframe to Global west suspension, they put it on their jig, grinded out all the factory stitch welds and laid down a little over 100' of solid bead. This helps take out the flex in these old sub frames. I then took it to powder coat. Semi gloss black- no SHINY stuff



After grabbing a steal of a deal on a brand new GM crate LS3 off of CL
($5k, someone over their head in a project) I assembling the Vintage air front runner system, headers and TKO600 trans. Now it was time to put them together.

oh ya time to under coat, then assembly.
Here's some random pics, feel free to ask any questions about them, I'm trying to post them in order.





My son and I by ourselves installed front subframe and rear end in less than two hours, And he's only 9 in this pic






Didn't like any shrouds, so I made my own
