It could be, just redo things two or more times and throw entertaining rhetoric in, maybe scare the chit out of a cat or some other unsuspecting animal
Hahaha, I dont have cats, they would already be dead if I did. And dont worry, I will be doing several things twice I am sure. Getting it driveable now, and probably going off the deep end in a year or two.
I didn't like cats either, till I made friends with one that was left at my house, now I find I only trust things with four legs and fur.
Good luck 'going off the deep end'

Yeah,...but you want to have a 350,000 page build...admit it.
If you woulda kept the old car before you just arbitrarily decided to sell it and join the mindless hoard that is the S197/S550 owners club,...you might be half way there by now.

That truck was fun, but I am glad it reared it rusty body parts before I sunk any more money into it. This car, however, will most likely see a full MM parts catalog find its way underneath. I have decided that since I went and changed the wheels and ruined its bone stock look, I wont be ashamed to change everything underneath (after getting all the dust out!). I do still plan to keep under the hood and the interior mostly stock though.
It's usually @RaggedGT that catches the little sht like that. Very observant Noobz!
...and right hand drive too. That's badass.
A Blower will keep the under hood mostly stock
lol I'm just kidding buddy. I like the changes you have made,all improvements to an already good looking car imho.It's usually @RaggedGT that catches the little sht like that. Very observant Noobz!
Thanks for the compliment Dave.. Sorry for the excessive pings lately..
I have a feeling Mr.Noobz may have something to do with the right hand conversion

And I thought I was the guy with the excessive pings going on here..
I try to keep the @madmike1157 Pings to a select few threads..And I thought I was the guy with the excessive pings going on here..
Whoops-that's one less ping I can use now
Is it better than being ponged?And I thought I was the guy with the excessive pings going on here..
@Noobz347 !? You wouldn't tweak our text or pictures to make sport of us, would you?I have a feeling Mr.Noobz may have something to do with the right hand conversion
Well, I am no @Davedacarpainter restoration expert, but I did find a nice clean factory distributor cover. Needs shined up, but I am happy to have one. Never liked the look of all the spark plug wires, especially when I put a red MSD replacement cap on one of my old cars. Boy I tell you what, if only spring would hurry the F up and get here, I have some mondo cleaning/restoring plans to carry out... I hate winter in Iowa.

Almost pulled the trigger on a GT40 tubular intake yesterday on Ebay, but there is just some kind of weird charm to a stock engine bay. I am considering doing a 331 with nice heads, and having the stock intake ported to the max just to maintain that stock charm, but have some more power on tap. Am I crazy?

Before I slapped the wheels on, I decided to weigh them.
Stock turbines with tires:
18X9" 2010 GT replica wheel and tire:
18X10" 2010 GT replica wheel and tire:
I am not all that concerned with the weight, as I will not be tracking this car at all.
When I went to bolt the wheels on, the rears hit the tail pipes (I already ditched the quads for now). So I got out my BFH, and did some beating. These are still the factory tails, and they showed their age on the driver's side, lol.
Annnnnnnd, the moment of truth. The stance:
I cut a coil off the front springs while I had it all apart, and wanted to set it down before doing anything with the rears. I like where the front is, so I now I just need to try to match the rear, or leave it up slightly in relation to the front. The Ebrake doesnt bite at all, so I need to tighten up the drums. I also need to order lug nuts. If you look closely, I only have 3 lug luts on each wheel, lol. Its not being driven anywhere, I only backed into the street in front of my house to snap a few pics in the daylight. So next order of business is cutting the rear springs, and adjusting the drums. Nice to have the fronts turn out well on the first try.
Hey man, those wheels look great! Where have I seen those before?

Find a Tubular GT40 intake and have it ported. Not the cheapest idea nor the best performance mod. They just look cool and "stockish" imo.
