I paid 200 for it but its worth the headache! The motor is already pulled and I ordered the rear tailight panel, Trunk center, LH and RH. Im now getting ready to order floor pans... but I gotta drop the tank and all the lines before i do all the metal work. I already have 2 new front fenders, im trashing the wheel wells, I got a used mint trunk and drivers door, and now I need a rad support with mounts and the whole body mount kit...
along with rear leaf springs and everything..


I have a 350 vortec motor and turbo400 that im rebuilding for it..

Comments welcome.

Wow. Looks like a nice bit of work for ya. Good to see a young one interested in the classic iron too. Keep us up to date with your progress. What are your overall ideas for the car?

Oh, and does your entire state fill with smoke when you do a big burnout?

Josh,
Good luck with the project...looks like you will definitely improve your bodywork skills working on that car!
Maybe you could keep the current paint scheme and get sponsored by McDonald's?
Anyway have fun doing the build!

Overall plans are to do all the body work, put a 4inch cowl on it, ss tags, drop it 2 inchs all new suspension, throw some 18'' American racing rims, por 15 the subframe, have the bottom end of the motor rebuilt then put on the edelbrock performer kit and then change out the cam. Interior will be black and gray, custom gauges and what not; and a nice alpine system...
theres alot I want done by my 18th birthday lol.


Bandit - Yea your not the first to mention Mcdonalds..Its quite the color scheme...
