well I plan on shedding msot of the chrome, I guess the window mouldings n stuff are chrome, but will be sanded and painted with the rest of the car.
Actually im curious where I can get new windshield mouldings, I want to remove them for paint, and bet they break on thier way off..
Removing the trunk serves 2 purposes, allows me to sand and paint the frame top and bottom, Also alows me to eliminate alot of un needed weight.
Im probably going to eliminate the tubs too just cut all of it out.
I may replace it with aluminum, but I'm not sure
As said im putting this car on a much needed diet.
as for putty, Basically, Im not using any that I dont need, Its deffinatly not going to be a show car.
I dont want it to look pretty, its a rat rod.
Any dents are getting rubbed hamered out, the car is getting sanded, primered and shot satin black and cleared to protect the paint.
Other then that, Its a go fast car.
No interior, 2 front buckets from a camaro (they weigh like 22 lbs a piece apposed to the calias seats which were probably 50 a piece.
The dash is coming out in favor of something.
For nwo ill probably hang the stock cluster and add the basic 4 gauges.
tach , water temp, oil pressure and voltage.
I just got home from canada with my 3.73 monte SS rearend.
Going to pull it all apart, sand it all down, rusty metal primer and several coats of high heat gloss black.
Its going back together with the new posi, new backing plates, axel seals, wheel cyls, brake pads the works.
The springs were recently changed in this car with new OEM springs, so I'm probably going to leavwe those.
I might get some air shocks for the back.
This is a serious budget build, I will add it all up for you guys when its done. it will be in the 11 or 12 second mark for less then 3g bumper to bumper, all motor. no boost or juice.
