Sweet! How much was completed when you acquired it? Is this Speedway kit a good kit to work with?

Work has been slow on it since no time. but to answer a few questions. I am sure the kit was well thought out, but the person that started this one, decided to use a 2.8 v6 chevy vs the 2300 or v-6 ford it was designed for.so the fuel pump was in the middle of the steering box, then when i disassembled it the loop that holds the front suspension “suicide” mount was made out of 1 1/2” round tube and theu had sectioned out more than 50% of it so the radiator would slide down into it. I cut the stub off so I wouldn't be stupid and think I could fix it, Will take some pictures tomorrow and add. then when I started measuring things it was “eyeballed” together.
