Lets see everyones winter projects, and how they are coming or at least starting... What ya got???? Here is my soon to be tare down. Have to staighten the front end a little.

 

Here's 2 pics for ya. Aluminum heads on there way, still have to order new long tubes and holley dp.

 

engine.

 

That looks like only 1 pic to me Mark. LOL! Aluminum heads eh??? How much those setting you back????

 

Oops ther it is. He He

 

holy cow kaz, is that your camaro?

that looks like one screwed up car (no offense lol) i actually started laughing when i saw it. why is the body so bent? you think you'll manage to fix that?

 

LMAO, at first I was like you're a jerk, then I relooked at the photo, and the front does seem to be bent up. weird.

The heads were $870 shipped.

 

Yes that is my car. The front is bent up pretty good. A old lady put it into a corn field. Now it is time for me do work my magic. I am pretty sure I can fix it. If not part it out.

 

 

Looks sweet Ragtop. Gee I had better get me some aluminum heads too. Everyone else seems to now. Sweet ride!

 

here is a pic of the engine bay in my 88. i think it is going to take a little longer then winter. i will post more pics of the car when i get them

 

another

 

under the hood it was all gray when i got it and pretty dirty. heres one of my plenum i started to port and polish it

 

one more sorry for so many of them

 

Lookin good pokes. Keep em posted. Polishing and porting is a big help for HP.

 

thanks kaz i hope urs turns out the way u want it to. i have everthing off the 88 i think i could ripp off. im starting from nothing and undercoating everything and painting everything

 

Well I hope it does come out good, but like I said if it is to much work I will just part her out. The car has a lot of good parts left on it. I have always loved the F body cars. My trouble is I like my Monte SS too, so they get jealous of each other when I spend to much time with the other.

 

dont the montes and the elcaminos have the same front end on them and if they do u can do this. u could have best of both worlds

 

That front end on that El camino is a Camaro's not a Monte's But yes the Elcamino SS do have the same front as the Monte SS. It is aftermarket though I think. But again that is a Camaro front clip on the one in your pic.

 

look at that picture better, its some sort of aftermarket look a like, the angle of the nose is to steep and the lights as well. Ive heard of them before

 

Here is my SS front clip. This pic was takin at the local drag strip. Old Cayuga..now the Toronto Motorsports Park. We jsut got a contract with IHRA for the nest 10 years. YEEHAAA.

 

Looking.... Sure looks like around late 80's early 90's camaro clip to me.

 

u missing a light? lol

 

That is where the air induction was coming in. LOL

 

Here's my project, all the mechanical stuff should be completed in about 2 or 3 more weeks then I can start putting the insides in.

 

Very nice bollox! That is a very clean car. Great work!! I love the shine on those rims. Do you have a side shot please??? I am getting great ideas here everyone. My mind was at a stand still as for what to do with my 86 Z28. I am now starting to smoke at the ears. This is great!! Keep the nice jobs comin everyone.

This is the best side shot I have right now we put the car on the ground for the first time this saturday, i'll get some decent side shots this week some time. Had to use a link, for some reason a red x just kept coming up.

 

well i dont have any pics of my projects but they include rebuilding the front end suspention, all new strust and shocks, 9 bolt posi disk rear, all new rear suspention and if im lucky maybe some headers. but after that then its time to save 3g's for a supercharged 355 with powerglide, dunno if ill use the powerglide or not , might just keep with the th350

 

Heres my winter project...Just picked it up on Saturday. I already got 17x11/9.5" ZR-1 rims, adj. fuel pressure regulaotr, larger thorottle body, crane gold 1.6 rockers, HI-6 digital ignition, etc. Just gotta install all of it.

 

oops....heres the pic

 

Very nice! 4th gen. $$$$

 

My winter project .. Finish ripping the ECM out,build my 350 thats on a stand ... pull that one out and throw the new one in. Toss the old one into a dumpster or something. Paint it, do the interior and framework and suspension. Then when the tranny blows up ill get that rebuilt ..

 

Looks like she's comin along nicely deadtrend1. Good work. What colour have you decided to paint it? Or have you yet?

 

ok well it looks like its not gonna work so try this

pics 17-28 are of my car

 

dang it didnt work.... can anyone help me out?

 

the site you're using doesn't allow direct linking.

just go to Paint, open the file click ctrl+w and resize to about 40% and resave as a diff file as a jpg, then attach it.

 

If I can find a winter beater, this is my winter project:

LT1 Intake, possible cam swap and headers

 

My 396 swap is coming along slowly. This weekend I got the engine, transmission, and headers in. Still need to install the intake and distributor, run the fuel lines to the Stealthram, set the timing, install the starter, install the accessories, install the cooling system, and a bunch of other crap I forgot to mention.

 

Wow, brad, very nice, what heads are those?

 

AFR 195s with 100% CNC porting

 

Very impressive work Brad, that's going to a awesome car when your finished. Anytime you want to come up to OKC and go stang hunting let me know.

 

you people with money suck!! my winter project is just trying to save money!! but then once i do get some cash,i got some plans in store:
-front clip replaced due to an accident last Feb.
-paint my new GFX due to an accident last Nov.
-save up for a carb swap and other goodies for the 305,incl. a 125 shot of giggle juice!
-get SLP posi installed with 3.42's
-GET INTO THE MID 12's IN THE SPRING!!!(on the juice of course)
-and get the Talon into the mid-low 13's by summer.then im done and saving for an apartment.

 

heres what i have to work on this winter.....a 1986 iroc-z with a 305 tpi.just bought it the other night from a highschool kid who was from north carolina and up this way in iowa to meet a girl from online(lol). he blew a head gasket when he was pumping gas.....guess the fan relay quit working or some ****. havent decided to do with it yet but the motor and tranny supposedly only have 3000 miles on them....could be true since everything is painted bright orange under the hood...not just an aerosol overhaul i dont believe. anyone have any suggestions on what i should do with it? build it stock or build it performance? car has never seen a winter from the looks of the under carriage. perhaps i will sell it.....any offers?????

 

My winter projects:

1) Install SLP headers (being worked on now)

2) Install aluminum driveshaft

3) Buy and install:

-Bilstein shocks and Hotchkis springs
-PA Racing tubular A-Arms
-Accel 300+ iginition
-1LE brakes
-Spohn Torque Arm
-ported and polished flux capacitor

 

well here is my project. i just finished it last april, then i put in the new engine in august. but i am sick of the viper red paint so i am gonna redue the body again, with new ground effects, with siver and black stripes, custom interior, new tranny and exhaust, a new posi unit, and new top end on the engine. i plan to get this all done starting Feburary and still make Third Gen nationals in june. i would start now but i have surgery in two weeks. a lot of work to do in 4 months in a wheel chair. wish me luck!!

 

My winter project will be to sit and watch my Z finish rusting out because I am a poor college kid and can't afford to pay for the rust work to be done. It is a shame to have to watch such a beautiful car just rust away. Oh well one of these days I will hit the lottery and I can fix it or one of you nice people here might donate the $3,000 for me to fix it. If you are interested in doing that please e-mail me and I will give you the address to mail the check to.
