My plans for the Bu will be to do a tu tone paint scheme with some billet specialty wheels with the front and rear fiber glass bumpers and 80-81 front grill.I plan to put a 383 twin turbo setup with a 2004R from Extreme Automatics and Carrie 9 inch rear.For now i will be installing my drive train from my Monte SS which is a worked up 350sbc with a 2004R with shift kit and a 373 with auburn gears and since it doesn't have a interior the Monte interior will go in for now.
Well this week i sanded and primed the fire wall and engine bay frame but i did paint the frame black the fire wall will stay primed till i decide what color im going to paint the car was going to do tu tone silver and charcoal but saw a few bu with that same color scheme.I also started to clean up the rear floor pan to see if there is any rust on the floors there isn't thank god but i did find frame rot on the rear passenger quarter but its ok where its rotted is where they will cut for the frame notch lucky me.This week i plan on finishing my front floor pan clean up and the rest of my bondo work i have left.
Yes I took as much of the interior as I could. I welded the seat brackets for the bucket seats I haven't done much since it's been to cold out and don't feel like inhaling the smell and exhaust of the kerosene heated I use.I got the center console and shifter bracket to weld then do a small rust repair on the floor then I can install the front end and off to the body shop for body work.After that I will install the engine and trans and the interior and take her for a cruise.
See if GP403 can relabel your project as a Build Thread- easier for us to find and follow!
Was that really paint you ground off - or bed liner?
