Looks awesome dude!!

 

Nice!

 

nnnniiiiccceee good job on the car man

 

nice, what are you gonna do for a hood.

 

Drop it like its Hawt. but other then that it looks badass

 

Very nice job :hail:

 

everything about your car is amazing! :hail: :hail:

 

drop it a bit and throw on a hood and she'd be perfect

 

Looking good! Do you plan on keeping the TPI emblems?

 

The paint looks really sharp on that car, and I have always like TTII's on our cars. For some reason it looks like the rear is jacked up a bit? Maybe it's just the picture. I agree with finding a hood for it, and lowering it just a bit. Other than that, very nice lookin car man. What kind of times are you looking for? Good luck and find a hood!!

 

holy **** nice car

 

oh damn i didnt even notice the rest of teh car there...to busy drooling over that 502 looks real good man what size cowl you going to run?

 

what size tires do you have in the back? Looks great!

 

Nice car man. Love the two tone! Wheels look ten times better than the old ones.

 

Im either gonna use a 3 inch cervini cowl, or a SS hood. The rear tires are 315's. The reason the back looks high is because the weight of the motor dropped the front. I will drop the rear about 2 inches to match the front.

 

I am normally not a huge fan of the 2 tone setup...but that car has a great look...go with the cervinis hood or maybe an ascd BB hood...it is fitting you know. Paint the stinger silver.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys!

 

Witch ever one...........its gonna look tooo hot.

 

I see now. Can't wait to see the finished product. Keep us posted.

 

Minot ND; I use to assigned to the Air Force base there. Loved it there. Would love to go back for a visit sometime. Still have friends there. Nice looking car also.

 

very nice car

 

Go with an SS or RAII hood

 

will that fit under an ss hood?? if so, I should throw a 454 or a 502 in!!! that'd be awesome!! i love BBC thirdgen's....absolutly awesome...what did you do for the rearend? beefed up or what? excellent excellent car!!!:hail:

 

rearend is still a stock non-posi unit with 3:23 gears....useless...

 

Which post was this supposed to be a reply to? I can merge it for ya

 

Holy smoke, looks like I hit the wrong button!!! Sorry! it was a reply to the thread I started "New pics of my 85 Z w/502 and TTII's... "

 

what backspacing did u use for the 17x11, id like to see a pic from behind the car .

 

The fronts are 17X9.5 with a 7.0" BS, the rears are 17X11 with a 7.75" backspace. I am using a 2" spacer in the front, and a 1.25" in the rear.

 

another

 

:hail: Praze the lord, its a 502

 

i didnt think they would be right with only 5.75 inchs of bs , i have 5.5 on 9.5 inch rims .

 

my fronts could actually go in about another .25", the back is about perfect.

 

Yeah, with the 11" rears that is about as perfect as you can get without major mods to the inner fender well. I had a set of those wheels in the same size, just different finish, but decided to go another route. They fit right about in the same position as your rears do. Once again, nice ride. Love the 11" rears.
