Wow looks great !!!! I love how you painted the front bumper. real slick :firefire:

[USAZR1]

Looks like you are adding another winner to your car family,SW. Outstanding!

[slck6t9]

I have to second the "Where's the boner smiley". The is one beautiful car and black is an awsome color choice.

OMG - :jawdrop: ! That is bee-u-tiful!:drool:

[CAMAROBOY69]

WOW SW its hard to believe its almost done already. Just the other day there wasnt any doors or anything. Well done. Car looks beautiful! :cool: Now lets see some vids. Stance turned out perfect. It has the exact same stance as mine.

[colt zantop]

looks great....any motor shots?

[JamesD]

You've really outdone yourself, I hope you bring it to some local car shows when its done so i can take a look at it. Was the exhaust custom built to clear the minitub stuff or is it an off the self item?

[JLM]

Black is very befitting of that car. Absolutely gorgeous! I really like the monochrome front bumper, it adds a nice subtle touch to the front end.

What have you got planned for the interior?

[JayBird]

Awesome. Car looks great, except there is one problem. The black paint looks to good to drive it. :) I wish I had that problem.

[rockdogz]

That's hot.

:eek: :headbang: :hail: :bananna2: :worship: :cool:

[Rube1966]

Looks awesome.


I would love to see some interior and engine shots.

My only issue; Why paint the front bumper (which looks great) and not do the back. It would have looked better as both chrome or both monocromatic, but not one of each. IMHO.

Regards,

Rube

P.S. Nice collection of toys. Almost rivals mine. : )

[trapin]

Looks like The Mule's distant cousin.

Sweet car. Can't wait to see some additional pictures.

[Piet]

Wow

[Streetking]

Thanks guys, it's been a longtime comimg. I just snapped a few shots before leaving this morning. I will get more pictures of the engine compartment ect. later.

Rube1966, I had another '69 that I did that to and didn't like the look. When these cars were ordered with the endura bumper, they didn't have color coded rear bumpers either..


Thanks again for all the support.

SW

[Rube1966]

Street,

Understood and agreed.

I was just checking out your web page. NICE!!!

You have great taste, I just bought HRE 547s for my snake also. I also noticed to put on a Roe Racing blower, also nice.

Are those VCA vipers from the St.Louis invitation by any chance? I was their also, and the views look similar.

Regards,

Rube

PS - Now that I have seen your complete toy box...I will be a man.....you win. I think you need to add a Harley though. : )

[Todds69]

freakin' sweeeeeet!

[MrAngry]

I am speechless... stunning car - all the best with it!

[Todds69]

What are the wheel specs and tire sizes? Definately hit the right setup.

[vanzuuk1]

WOW sweet car. I agree about the bumpers, the back one always looks better chrome.
I built the 1/12 model of my car , did both bumpers body color and didnt like it.Glad i tested it on the model first!

[Rybar]

SW the car looks killer, nice job! I like the painted bumper, looks good!

[ZZ430]

Nice! That's as good as it gets. :1st:

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Looks great!! Keep us updated on the interior.

Hmmm.... I can see a subtle difference in the before and after pictures..... Hmmm...... Ooh, Ooh!! I got it!!! It's the windows!!!!



Damn nice work SW. Way to make us proud. Now I gotta find a way to compare mine to yours. Heh.... Now we all know that's just not gonna happen....

[Nine Ball]

SW, that car is beautiful. Definitely worthy of hanging out with your other cars!

Will you be adding any emblems or trim to the car? The stance is perfect.

My next project will probably be black also, to match the C6 Vette.

[Martin71RS]

1 word..... WOW !

:hail:

[MrQuick]

Looks awesome S, great job....cie sort of like the "Black Sheep"

[ryans67deuce]

Wow!!! That really turned out great SW - you really nailed it!!!

What are your plans for the interior??

Great Job!

[Streetking]

Thanks again guys, I started working on the interior last night.

Tony, the only additional trim I'm adding is the windshield wipers. :) Btw, I'm already thinking about building either a small block 427 or 434, but I'm going to drive it around like it is for a while..

As far as the interior, I was going to put some ZO6 seats in it, but they look too tall. I'm going with factory seats done in blk comfortweave until I find something I like more. I was talking with Kyle@ DSE and he said they use some Recaros and remove the headrests..

Rube1966, those pictures were at the Dallas VOI last year. My red car does not have the Roe Blower on it anymore, it's all motor 510 stroker. It makes 704 rwh..

thanks again for all the nice comments, I will post more pictures as I get closer,

SW,

Great looking ride...Rodney did a great job on the paint and body.. If you're around this weekend I'll call you and arrange to swing by and help with the interior and finish the last few connections on the wiring.. 1431 and Parmer here we come.. :)

TJ

[Steve Chryssos]

Umm.... I'm not sure of that Steve. Do you dare to compare?


I visited DSE last month and saw a half dozen 69's getting "the look". It was quite a vision.

So yeah.

[Travis B]

Beautiful car! Thats all I can really say....very beautiful car!
Nice job

[96Z28SS]

SW,
Do you remember what the offsets were on the rims?
Did you have the rearend shortened?

[Flynlo416]

Nice car SW!! My 20 month old daughter looked at the computer screen and saw your car and said "Cool Car" great job and I think the painted bumper looks great.

[jay web]

SW - what did you do to the drip rail moldings? is the chrome trim painted or are the gutters just smoothed/filled and painted?

They are smoothed& filled.

96Z28SS, the front is 8.5 w 5.25 bs, rear is 12.5 w 7.25 bs. It has a 9" DTS rear end that DSE narrowed 2" on each side.

TJ, thanks again, I will be home all weekend, just call..

[David Sloan]

SW.
Looks Great !!! Keep us posted on the motor when you decide!!!

[bookends]

killer 69! the paint looks like you could swim in it.
oh yeah nice Ferrari in the background also

[SatisTraction]

Can we get an up close shot of the smoothed drip rails? I have thought about doing that but it looks like a lot of work!!!

GREAT CAR!:)

[Stuart Adams]

SW, looks killer. Love the black color.

[69rs]

close shot of the smoothed drip rails
Yes please! I have wanted to do that on my 69!

Sorry, I'm wrong, the drip rails are still there, but the front gap has been welded and smoothed/painted. I have been working on it all weekend, got the stereo system done and more of the interior done. Here are a couple of shots of the motor..
