I just picked her up on saturday out in ohio. She is freshly painted Dark Concord Blue, and undercoated with GM undercoating paint. First up is installing my moser ford 9" and full spohn rear suspension. Then spohn subframes and a custom 14 point roll cage. Eventually she will get a manual rack, tubular k-member, wilwood brakes up from to match the rears, coil-overs, and a forced induction 540+CI BBC Of course i will have pics as each step progresses. Only 4-5 years till shes totally done but she will be one of the nicest thirsdgens around anyway here are the pics

 

Awesome

 

coolest thing ever

 

awesome man, im in the process of restoring my 89 iroc, its a lot of work but definitly worth it

 

looks amazing, i love the detication and effort!

 

one day you'll get to see it im person

 

me and chris will have to check it out

 

im not to far now that i have moved to merrimack nh (when i get back from school that is

 

Is it really going to take you 5 years to complete?

 

well the motor will cost 15k+, 3g's for tranny. probably 4g's for the front end a grand on the interior. and im only 20 so im not made of money. Im going for something i can have in magazines, in car shows and on the drag strip. thats alot to ask for, but it just takes time and attentionto detail. All sais and done it will probably cost anouther 25 grand.

 

making a pro street only?

by the way thats really awesome what your doing...great heart in that

 

yeah im going to stick with stock style suspension and see where i get. i figure around 800hpgive or take to the wheels should put me where i want. And by using a big cube engine, it will be more streetable than a built to the hilt small block. The only thing thats probably going to wait till the last minute is deciding between a roots blown, or turbo setup.

 

wow when im 27 maybe ill come and see it hahahah....Good luck. Sounds like a fun project.

 

sounds like you got a lot of work on your hands bro. Good luck ill be waiting to see your camaro on a magazines soon, well when im 27

 

keep us updated

 

That's the way to restore a car, excellent job!

 

Body looks awsome. I am going a similar route I guess but a little less over the top. I am shooting for 500 rwhp and I have a 6 point, a 6 speed and a moser 12 bolt. I am 21 and a mech. eng. student at Northeastern. I did every last thing on my car by myself.

The 25K total you have is more like what I am spending, you can't imagine how much $ you spend on little things here and there. More metal for tubes, new carpet, exhaust alone is costing me over 1500 for a true dual side exit set up made out of oval pipes.

I love to see someone else go off the deep end like me, but just remember that it all adds up quick, even just tossing in shipping. I have been doing mine for 3 years now. I will be done this coming spring. making the grand total time, just under 4 years.

Honestly though, Plan to spend way more, esspecially if you are going with huge power, 800 hp is gonna need an all out race clutch (at least 1100 when all said and done) just for that one thing. If you can pull that kinda $ and don't mind waiting.


Anyways, check out my site and see my monster, (mini monster, in comparison). Motor will be here within the month.

keep up the good work

 

how much did u buy the car for?

 

Now THAT's how you build a car! HOT!

 

its unbelievable how quick the money adds up i have like 10Gs into mine and got a ways to go, ull end up spending way more then you ever imagined when your finished.

 

Tell me about it. Projects spin out of controle......I even planned with a bunch of extra "padding" money, cuz i knew there would be stuff I could not account for, but all I can say is WOW, building a car for real is expensive. Thats all i can say....

only piece of advice I can say is add tons of $ for unpredictable stuff.


Hope it turns out kick ***, man.

 

2750 for the body

 

considering i have 6000$in just rear suspension. Now a new body and roll cage. And besides that the car is stripped. I had to build a dolly today at school to go in place of the k-member just so ican roll it around. Before i know it the car will be done and a 70 chevelle will have itsplace in the garage (ill have an inclosed trailer by then)

 

awesome
