well the first parts to have paint on them is the doors.
1968 / 2010 doors dont look to bad.
here is a pics of the pace performance LSX376 motor with the all wheel drive
front end hanging on it. notice the front drive goes thur the oil pan.
Pretty cool design. more later.

A few more parts painted. the Bowler trans is mounted to the Pace Performance LSX 376 motor,
bottom of car and firewall are painted satin black clear and the chassis is out and ready for prepping to
paint. I am going to spray the chassis the Speed Orange by ProSpray just like the body color.
the nickle satin that is on the trans is the color of the suspension. should look pretty nice.
hopeing to get the chassis done tomorrow and ready to go back under the car.
I wanted to say thinks to the team at Bowler Performance for helping us with a trans issue.
They really know there stuff there. Thanks again guys.

Just in case anybody in the future is looking to do a similar awd build, S10/blazer axles fit in the tbss front diff and that would allow you to keep 5 bolt hubs. sorry for the thread jack.

The build is looking bad *** btw.

I thought about try a corvette rear hub but ran out of time to
try it. this set up should work pretty good .
we did a custom 4 link with a 14 bolt 9.5" rear end with 410 gears,
eaton limited slip diff. Ride Tech air ride system .
