slow90coupe's NOTCH BUILD THREAD!!!

one thing to think about is a custom sub box. they are easy to make and look better than just a box in the trunk. a quick visit to home depot will have everything to do it. wood, sheet of fiberglass, resin. some people use fleece instead of fiberglass. i pm'd you some pics

sweet! i appreciate it! i will have to look into that...
 
As for the wheels keep the 03Cobras on it, looks sick. As for the ride height once you start driving it it will settle down probally another half inch so you may want to bring it up a little to allow for that.
The lower 1/4 is fixable probally so no need to replace it and you could probally get a body shop to knock it out for you for cheap if it really bothers you in the future. I thought you already got the heads back and were selling them?

it is NOT fixable. it is bondo from the first time the car had a blowout. thats what i love about coilovers though,i can change the stance in 10 mins all the way around! the heads are still over there, they are putting them back together finally. soo, maybe in the next week or so i will get them back. IM STILL PISSED OFF :mad::mad::mad: the job shouldve took 1 month tops. this is rediculous.
 
well i broke down and bought some TFS TWs and Comp Gold roller rockers. i couldnt wait any longer...

1978 with a 302... my grandpa bought it new. he bought a new one last week and didnt have a place to keep it. he also couldnt push down the brake pedal on this one anymore, so i bought it from him! i love it!
 
that pic i sent of the speaker box in the truck was in my 84 with some 2000 something dodge seats. i wanted my brother to put some fat tires on the rear of his 81 2wd but he sold it before he did much to it.
 
today was the first warm, really sunny day in a while so i pushed it back outside to see how it looks slammed as far as it will go... i love the way this color looks in the immediate sunlight!

well... we got the motor assembled. the only problem we ran into is that the stock valve covers wouldnt clear the Comp RR's. so tomorrow i am getting some ford Racing tall VCs. the motor is almost all the way in now, and, if things go right, it will fire up tomorrow. theres not TOO much work left to do at this point. just a lot of time consuming things left. well, heres the pics i took over the past 2 days...
