Keep up the good work,what are your plans.
the plans

under carriage - frame candy cobalt blue / most suspension components will be powder coated charcoal grey(no chrome this time it rusts too fast in hawaii) /

motor -

its a 327 out of an early 70s camaro.

trans - turbo 350 we just rebuilt w/ a b&m shift kit. 3500 stall torque converter

setup- im leaning towards a 2 pump setup most likely showtime. simple street chrome setup

body - shaving all factory welds and anything (except door handles, i like the door handles on these cars) that can be shaved :biggrin:

paint - roof will be candy cobalt sprayed over silver / body will be s 2000 charcoal grey. blue pinstripes will folow throughout body.

entertainment - in dash dvd (not sure which brand yet but leaning towards alpine) / two screens in head rests & one screen molded into inner trunk lid. llokin for a JL W7 also.

interior - mostly stock i am planning on molding some plastic peices and painting to match vehicle.



wheels - black chrome w/ rear spokes chrome (100 spokes)


will keep you guys upadated w/ new pics :biggrin:
