GBOTM: July '15 Entries Thread

Hey guys, this month I want to see everyones project car what they're working on. Enter your ride if you have a project car that is currently undergoing some heavy work. It shouldn't be something that you are fixing up as you're driving it.


Thanks,
Mike

Well I'll throw in even though its nothin fancy. I'm workin on the restoration of my white 87 monte SS. Its my first car and I've managed to hold on to it this long, so I thought it was deserving. This is nothing fancy as far as custom build stuff though it will have a 98 LS1 with a T56 behind it. I reworked the f body hooker long tubes to work with the g platform and have gotten the frame mostly done with an SC & C stage two kit. Up front will be vette calipers on the blazer spindles and in the rear will be "LS1" rear brakes. All fluid lines will be plumbed with cunifer.
Like I said its more of a restoration, a slow one at that!

My newest project that is moving pretty slow is a stock 85' Regal with a V6 with a rod knock.
I am currently rebuilding a mild SBC with a 350C trans to go in there and will be making brackets to keep the AC on the passenger side.
The engine will eventually have a lot of polished aluminum and braided hose like my Monte (the parts are already here).
So far i added the rims I bought on Craigslist for $150 and the steering wheel I bought on Ebay
I will drive it how it looks right now for probably a year or so just replacing bumper fillers etc. and then later on convert to how I really want it to look.
