Havnt had space to work on the locost for a little while but I'd like to say it's still goin. The gas pedal has been test fitted, driveshaft built, and lower radiator mounts made.

The angle is too much, I'll likely have to cut out the beam running under the bellhousing.(beams normally missing in a locost to lower the engine but in this chassis its also missing above the the bellhousing to fit the girthy drivetrain further back)

Started playing around with the 1/4 wireframe buck to better see the body, and cardboard templates to see the side "barrel" shape in practice.

Spent the last 700hrs resurrecting this 52 gmc suburban, and we've kicked into high gear to get it painted so the locost languishes.

Still a long ways to go but after 20+ years she's coming back!
