I wouldn't worry about a new Camaro, let alone a new Mopar or Ford. LOL :D
If you build it, IT WILL RUN. :thumbsup:
 
Just thinking, I posted Joe Diffie's song "Pickup Man" March 15 (post 221), shortly after he would be dead from COVID-19.... Not good :(

So many threads about COVID-19, the Drag Truck thread is a place of happiness but rats, I pulled a video of him in this thread and this happens.

We've made some more progress on the truck. Been super busy the past 3 weeks and had to take care of some things that are on the front-burner in life. Things are slowly getting back to normal (whatever normal will look like going forward) and I will be checking in and update the progress on this project. I try to keep FABO about cars. :)

I hear you, I try to keep this about the cars and stuff like that to get away from my daily worries of family life...
Any pictures of your latest progress?..

We pulled more weight out of it, should be down to about 3550 or a tad less. Also we have the headers installed, just need to run pipes and mufflers off the collectors. On the hedders, wow, I just dropped the passenger side in from the top without even taken the oil filter off. I let go of it and it fell to the ground underneath! No need to loosen any motor mounts either. Yeah, trucks have their advantages... LOL. I guess I haven't taken any pictures of anything, but I will have to do that. I think were going to put together a new video for my youtube channel and I can post that as well.

Not yet, it is just a plain white 85 with a few dents and a little (for Indiana) rust. The previous owner painted the whole grille and front bumper black, and the paint is peeling off. It still has full hub caps on it, and way too small of tires on the back!

Too much stuff around it now for pics, will post some once we get it running.

Outside of the headers, nothing really new to "look" at. Manual steering now, but I think I might have posted a pix of that?? Can't remember.
