New Project: 68 LeMans

[68nogoat]

Hi all,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum and put up some "before" pictures of my project. I've been coming to this site for a few months now, and there is a ton of information here. I am making a lot of my decisions based on the experience and recommendations here.

Anyway, here are some pictures of what the car looked like earlier this year. Over the past few months I have stripped the whole thing, and it is currently a body on a cart in the driveway, a rusty frame on jackstands in the shop, and parts all over the place.

and so it begins....

Thank you sir.

The car was pretty far along about 10 years ago. But school and work got in the way and it sat. And sat and sat. And something took a chunk out of the door, and an electric motor fell on the hood, and the back window, driver door and my Cragar SS's rusted out. You know the drill...

The entire drive train is in good shape. Has a built Pontiac 400 with a TH350 and a rebuilt 3.73 posi-rear. The engine probably has 500 miles on it.

So far, the plan for Phase I:

Blast, box and PC frame satin black
SC&C ATS AFX Spindles
SC&C SPC Pro-Lite Upper CA's
GM Stock Corvette Brakes (with the "Corvette" removed!)(because I am spending the brake $$ on the spindles!)
Stock Lower CA's
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs (4 corners)
KYB Gas-Adjust shocks (up front)

New rear upper and lower CA's, undecided make
17" (18"?) Rims, undecided make
