first build custom 69

[salincruiser]

I bought this car as a former pro stock racer. That was a bad idea it was beat up and much has tobe done new quarters, fender, dash ,well you all seenit before so lets have some fun. My first build but planning everything new. It has a 12 bolt rear, will do big disc all around with 4 link in back and coilovers , ls1, ground effects, audi tt bucketes with grandam rear buckets . I think I will make my own console out of wavy maple with burl in the center. No major rush I want it done right. I have everything to learn and with youre help and others I will get there

Iam new to this so its a bit out of sequence andam not sure how to add more pics . Not a computer guy. I got carriedaway with the ground effects may be a little low. Thinking of putting as big of tire and wheel as possible and try to get 4 inch clearance the lowest spot is 1 and a half inch below the subframe. It would still be easy to tear them off and redue but I think I can make it work.What do you guys think.

I had the color candy tangerine matched as close as possible in ppg basecoat and have bed liner spray in dark gray under the car. Want to getAnvil front spoiler for the front and lower the original valance 1 or 2 inches and attachspoiler. Whats the best way to go for tilt steering?

Let me know when your ready for the suspension upgrades..... we can sell you bare steel so you can paint them to match the body!

Nice start. Interesting choice on the TT seats. I hope they aren't anything like A4 seats. I had them in a custom build and they have little support and are built pretty cheap.

Any plans to upgrade the front subframe?

looks like a nice project. how well did the ppg base match the candy tangerine? i used to have 69 gto painted candy tangerine i loved the color but hated that the paint couldnt be touched up. Ed

Had a very good match on the paint . I didnt want the touch up issues either. They put in a couple different metallics, I really like it
