Updated Pics of Master Cylinder mounted

I got the CNC dual swing master installed last night, it's tacked in place, it'll have to come back out so I can finish the sheetmetal for the footwell.

14 bolt disc conversion and brake lines ran

My trucks been sitting for a while, as my DD k1500 Suburban has been taking dump after dump, I've had no money for toys! But I've been getting a bit done lately. It's close to taking for a drive.

Rear disc on 14 bolt

CNC masters with rear line ran, both are ran now.

Winters Shifter Installed.

Why the regular shift pattern? Or is it not a FMVB?

 

[gm500hprat]

Its a standard Valvebody. whats the fm stand for?

Looks good.

FMVB (probably) = full manual valve body

 

[Blue85]

He must mean reverse full manual

Yes and Yes... I was just trying to figure out why the shift pattern wasn't reversed like I normally see in that type of seutp.

Added some diamond plate.

She's alive!

Well its not completed but it drives. I tried to talk my dad into videoing as i drove down the street, but he insisted on coming along.

 

[Avery4jc]

Cool! Good to see it moving under it's own power.

It looks good. I like it. Taking it for a drive is always the fun part.

I know this is old and he isn't on here anymore, but does anyone know how this turned out?

 

[nvrenuf]

I followed this here and pirate (same title and user name) but I never saw it finished. I love the idea of the Formula 4 chassis on a K5 frame.

 

[twoslo4five0]

seems like a good alternative to building a buggy off a chevy frame for those of us who are not adventurous enough to build out own buggy chassis

I really like this, Wish I could see it completed. One day that is what I want to do with my blazer since the body isn't the greatest. When the body is shot that's what I am going to try and make.
