So, I've posted a couple of threads about this car so far, one introducing myself and one asking about engine opinions. This will be the official build thread and storyline.
I got this car for doing some concrete work (a barter). I poured a sidewalk and a parking area.
It was just a shell, but had big block headers and exhaust in it.
The barter ended up including a 350 engine,350 trans,new dual exhaust and a set of Centerline wheels.
Once I got it home,I peeled the stripes (they were broken) and cleaned it up.
The interior is pretty good,but a squirrel had found its way inside at some point and left a nest under the back seat and an awful odor. :/
I've cleaned it up a bunch with upholstery cleaner,armor all'd the vinyl parts and removed the exhaust in preparation for the drivetrain install.
The Centerline wheels are great with one exception; the fronts are super skinny bias ply tires.
The rear hold some 295/50/15's and I love the look,but I'll need to upgrade the front wheels to hold a wider tire.
That's it so far. Once I start installing the drivetrain I'll post more pics and info.
and happy cruising.
