Hey guys! i have been a lurker on here for about a year now, but never thought my car was worthy of posting. I AM ONLY 14 and have done all of the work by myself thus far. but now im really starting to make some progress worth noting,so i figured i would start a build thread to try and get me more motivated to spend more money on this thing!
Heres what the car looked like when i bought it
THEN AT THE NEXT STAGE(TOOK ME ABOUT A YEAR TO GET IT TO THIS POINT)
Sure,it looked decent,but a car can never be nice enough!!!
so i decided to start taking on a BIG CHALLENGE (especially since im only 14)
my plans are to try to fund a 331 stroker for the car. i have already purchased all of my heads cam intake stuff but since im gonna be in there i might as well do it right the first time! i plan to smooth and paint the engine bay and hide the wiring harness as well.
Heres where i am at as of now-
AND... THE GOODIES GOING ON!!!:rockon:
I havent recieved these yet. the pic is just representation... edelbrock performers!!!
cleaned up the wiring harness a little...
started cleaning the bay a little and prepping it for paint...
Polished up 1 of the headers...
Painted the stock sway bar to match my UPR K-member thats going in
she looks soo sad sittin there all raped
I pulled off the drivers fender...man a LOT of trash gets caught up inside there!
the car must have been hit pretty hard at some point. a pretty good bit of bondo is hiding up in there
some surface rust too and some tack welds!!!!
oh well. this will be getting cut out and having some scott rod fab panels put in anyways.
tucked the drivers side harness
stripped one of my VC's. plan on fully polishing them.
few more...
Let me know what you guy think!!!!
