Here are a few updated pics of my car. They have finally started re-assembly. I will attach a pic of the car the day I bought it as well. What do you think so far? THE PAINT IS REALLY DUSTY IN THESE PICS!!!!

Can't tell with the lighting - is that white, grey, or Evening Orchid Metallic?

Wow!!! I guess it's been awhile since my last post. Makes me realize and appreciate just how long these projects take. I haven't posted an "update" in over a year 'cus there really hasn't been much to say :)... The car has been at the bodyshop for over two years!!! Mostly because of a busy schedule but also 'cus we did alot of work...

I don't have any updated pics as of right now but I will within the next few days for sure. I will post them up and let you guys check them out.

So I have been really following a few different projects on this site in which has changed my vision of what I wanted for my car (Max G Camaro is mostly to blame but that '65 wagon is insane as well.) I am looking into having either a Morrison or Schwarts frame put under it which wouldn't be hard for me at this stage of my build.

Pics to come........

O ya.... Just an update of what I did with the car as far as the bodywork......

-We had to replace the quarters first of all
-Shaved door locks and handles
-Smoothed the firewall
-Shaved the driprails
-Smoothed the rocker molding and a few emblems.

As far as drivetrain....

I had a Vortec 8.1 stroked out to 502 c.u. with a 4L60E. As far as engine management I'm using the F.A.S.T setup for the fuel injection...

As far as frame/suspension...

I'm probably going to be using the Morrison stuff because it's close to home. I need to talk more with them but Craig suggested running their IFS with either the 3 link or a tri 4 bar.... We will see I guess.
I will try to keep regular updates...
