New Guy from AZ

[Romad]

New guy here from Tucson and new to the pro touring thing. Ive worked mostly on 4x4s and figured i'd give it a shot with a car as well. So i aquired in a straight up a trade a 1970 Lemans with 455/TH350. Came with some left front damage though. However, i got a new left front fender for it already and am going to pick up the core support and header assembly on saturday. Dont know which direction i want to go just yet. Here's some pix of what im working with.

Welcome to the site...... as Anthony mentioned the car looks like a great start for sure! What do you have planned for the steering, brakes and suspension?

Welcome to the site...... as Anthony mentioned the car looks like a great start for sure! What do you have planned for the steering, brakes and suspension?

As far as suspension goes im looking at UMI performance stage 3 kit and either Wilwood or Baer Brakes. Ive been combing over the car the last couple days and have been making my list and checking it twice to make sure i get everything on paper. Rough estimate right now is around 7k. Add another 3-4k depending on what wheels and tires i decide to go with. I was looking at 18x8s front and 20x10s rear. With the budget im setting aside im looking at around 10-14mths for completion. However i always take breaks in between (hunting/4wheelin) as to not get to overwhelmed and burnt out. Plus i like taking my time.
