1968 RS/SS Project - Eagle Fire
Well my project is beginning! My 5 year old son wanted to call it Project Eagle Fire! So be it. He is into Super Heroes and Power Rangers so I guess that is where he got it from.
This is a true "barn find" that sat in an enclosed building for the past 25 years! Rust is not bad at all. Might need a rear quarter replaced and a couple of patches here and there, but overall a solid car. Here are a couple of pics of the before. I will have a rendering finished by Kris Horton in a few weeks to show the after.
Planned Upgrades:
DSE Quadralink or G-Bar
Guldstrand Mod
Full Front Suspension Upgrades
Mini-Tub
New Interior
LSx Engine - (I want the LS7 but it is hard to justify expense (Help Me JUSTIFY
Might go with LS1(nitrous setup)
Forgeline SP3P Wheels
Thinking of a Copper or yellowish, goldish, or orange color, but still looking at pics.Last edited by rdplyr; 03-21-2009 at 04:18 PM. Reason: pics

I think the young man gets what he wants.
Project Eagle Fire it is as far as I am concerned!
Looks like a nice start. Good luck.

This is a 4 day mini vacation / business trip. I will be passing through on the way up on Sunday March 29. I am only carrying one car on the way up, so I can load yours Sunday, go drop the car I am delivering, and catch the 2nd car
in Tallahasee on the way home Weds.
No Problem Mon!

Well...he was proud of coming up with a name and I didn't have the heart to argue another point. I do like Phoenix though. The car is definitely rising from the ashes!! Originally Posted by XLexusTech

Name Change to Project
Well, Eli (my 5 year old) has come up with a new name. He was watching Casper the other night and came up with Project - GHOSTSPEED
So we are sticking with that and Prodigy Customs has picked it up to begin prep work. I think we are gonna go with a blue with black stripes. What do you all think?_________________________________
