Picked up a new project car

[03supercharged]

Hey guys, I have been lurking and getting information for awhile now, but I finally picked up a rust free Arizona chassis, so now I can start working on installing all the parts I have sitting around. It will take awhile to put together but Ill keep ya updated.

Here are a couple pics of the car I just picked up last week

Kinda missing something at the moment, but that will soon change

Main motor and spare motor for it

Looks like a nice project What motors do you have? Are you going to keep them fuel injected or put a carb kit on them?

You don't plan on changing the body do you? That is a very nicely outfitted car from the factory with the matching vynil top. It looks like it might need to be redone but still very nice combo. Are those "LS series" engines?

Good looking project you have there.

Motors look like LS's from a truck.

Hi, Im in the Twin cities area, once the car is done you'll see me down at porkys on the weekends, maybe see ya down there!

they are both 5.3's, except the main motor has z06 heads, z06 cam and a f-body oil pan. So more or less its a ls1 with fewer cubic inches, they will be fuel injected. These are just the motors for this year though, I plan on turning up the boost on the first one till it pops then throw the spare one in for the rest of the year. A buddy of mine that owns a motor shop is going to build me a 408 stroker motor for next year

Here is what I want the car to somewhat look like, I want to take the vinyl top off, take all the chrome off and get a t-type hood for it. More or less make it a T-type replica instead of a Grand National replica

nice find, how much ya pay for the roller? good luck and happy wrenching!

I paid 600 for the roller
Updates coming soon!

Excellent! I try and make it down to Porky's every weekend as long as the weather cooperates. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for your Buick!
