Damn! Let me put my on.

 

Wow, Thats looks really good

 

i like how you painted the a/c delete box, makes me more focsed on your engine, not that i wasnt anyway

 

thanks guys!! wheels are great Shawn, I think they will look awesome with this color. Ill send you some pics soon. Got alot down, but most of it is supsension front and rear. 9" ford installed with new control arms and panhard arm from spohn. front and rear eibach pro springs. Pro-15 all front suspension (love that stuff) I even por-20 the headers (hope it holds up) Still have a long way to go, but It will be worth it in the long run...Oh I forgot....Front LS1 brakes and rear LT1 pbr brakes.

 

Here a pic of front wheel with LS1 brakes. Wheels a little dirty fromt being in the bodyshop at work.

 

Thanks, thats what I was shooting for. I wanted it to blend in to the firewall as much as possible.

 

MMM Deep PeptoBismol

jk

Thats a sick color. Was it expensive?

 

looks like a sportcoupe you got there! any pics of the whole car?

 

What kind of headers are those? and are you worried about keeping that engine bay looking so nice? Cuz it looks spectacular. Street car? def not daily driver right?

 

Its funny how the garage light make it look that way. Its actually a deep red and changes color from light to dark depending on how the light hits it. The quart we used on the engine engine compartment was over $100.00 (ppg paint)

 

They are hooker super comp long tubes with por-20 on them. Hope it holds up cause they look pretty good. They were pretty rusty before. Just gave them a quick sandblasting on applied por-20. Ive been trying to be carefull when reassembling not to scratch anything, but its hard. It will be a weekend/nice day car. I want to drive it. Its not perfect by any means, but it looks decent. Thanks for the compliments.

 

It is a sport coupe. Remember I sold you a grille that Fed Ex destroyed. Its is going to the dark side thou...lol 91-92 ground effects.

 

Your progress looks great. What rotors are you using with your LS1 brakes?

 

Thanks. The rotors came with the kit I got from bigbrakeupgrade.com. The companys name that makes the rotors is stopcheck (714 720 6413) I purchased rear rotors from them to match the front. Cant remember how much, but were very resonable.

 

yes, i remember now...shame too...i got some other ideas though, you'll see!

don't go to the 91-92 gfx! there are so few good lookin sportcoupes out there.

 

its nice that u live in indiana It would be awesome to see that in person. Do u have any exterior pics of it?

 

The outside is still ugly..lol. the rest of the body work will get done as soon as all the drivetrain is finished...Hopefully over the winter and be ready for next summer. Ill post more pics as I get more done. Are you in Indy?

 

i live in Carmel, just north of indianapolis. The winters here kinda suck...

 

whats up with the motor? I looks like you got some serious valvetrain upgrades. What kinda of goodies?

 

Its a 406. 11.1 trw forged pistons. 5.7 x-rods with arp bolts. z/28 factory high pressure pump. z/28 windage tray. Summit dart heads I bought 9 years ago. 2.05 intake 1.6 exhaust valves. 7/16 studs. crane 1.6 roller rockers. Crane hydraulic .502/.516 lift 294/300 duration. eldebrock performer rpm and barry grant 820 double pumper. Motor makes tons of torque. Should be a blast with the T56. I actually built this motor 9 years ago. Sold the car 6 years or so ago and just bought it back at the beginning of the year. The motor looks brand new inside. I never drove it before and neither did the guy who bought it. I bet it doesnt have 1000 miles on it..lol. The guy I sold it too said it went 7.50 in the 1/8 with the stock 3.42 rear.

 

oh man, i cant wait to see

 

you hit the nail on the head

 

Well its been forever since I started this project, but finally its painted...I still have tons of little stuff to do, but hopefully it will be on the road soon...Hope you liek it...Let me know what you think...

 

Maybe it's just the pics, but I'd say it has a hint of pink to it, especially where the light HITS & reflects.

Please say it's only the cameras fault!

 

looking very nice!

you need to lower it a little

 

Yah not a fan of pink...

 

Its just the camera....Its a real deep red almost blood red...its a little brighter in the sun, but not pink..lol

 

its finally coming together, looks good... its is certinally a very unique colour.

 

I am going to have to get some better pics..lol
