Got her running

[Francis Blake]

Thought my car would be finished before now, but I got her drivable today and drove her around the block( it 's not legal yet so I didn't go far) A few details and finish the wiring and it will be done. My engine is as some of you will remember is a 4.3 v6 and I can't believe how an engine that size can run like it does

Thanks guys, will try to get some pics up tuesday . Yes I already have planes for another, a c cab with ac and heater. I have learned a lot on this build and it would be a shame not to build another. Before I became a member on here I had always worked on cars, but a t bucket is a whole different thing and without the advise I got on here I couldn't have done it. Thanks a million guys.

I am also building my second bucket with a 4.3 V6. Should be lots of fun!!

 

[BodyCount]

I love this simple buckets. :good:

 

[Keeper]

Looking good. Running is much better then the details

 

[Francis Blake]

I still have a lot to do but a few details and it should pass the dot exam. New back tires (more money ) I need to lower the rear shocks to level it out wind shield, then may be ready for paint, ideas would be appreciated. Bpickett you're gonna be surprised how that v6 will pull a bucket .
