Hi all,
Recently I became the lucky owner of a 1968 super bee. The car was passed down to me from my dad, whos owned it since he was about 20 years old. He built it over a 7 year period himself (i helped but I was like 5, so "hold this, get me a wrench" was the extent of it) with one thing in mind, and that was to be the baddest thing in town. In its day, the mid to late 90s, it was.
Ive been around cars all my life, slowly progressing my skills to the point now I feel pretty confident as a diy-er, from pretty extreme fabrication to basic mechanics, and wiring etc.. Jack of all trades, ace of none type of deal. Ive had some cool cars in my day, like a 73 triumph spitfire with a 2.3 ford turbo, 65 bonneville, a vega.... A ton of stuff your adverage 25 year old knows nothing about
Currently, its a 383 4spd car, the engine being built by me n pops, with litterly less then 30 miles on it still. Its got a dana 60 outback with 4:86s, and huge meats to put the gears to use. The cars lightened severely, with fiberglass everything. The nee motors not super stout, but moderate build.
My plans for the car involve a lot of hard work, lol. My goals are a turboed efi monster with great drivability and decent comfort that wont fall apart in a turn. But for now, heres what I got :cool:
Thanks dad!!
