Well as of yesterday by bird is going in for a full refresh. All new weather stripping complete body and paint(factory flame red). The Formula, the birds and the 5.0 fi are all being ghosted in black. I just ordered my 17x9/17x8 rims and tires from CWM. The interior is getting completely redone in two tone black and grey vinyl new carpet, new head liner and custom door panels. I will post pics over the next few weeks to show progress and then the final product.
Just sold my 305 long block going tomorrow to get my 350.

 

I also have a 91 so I am looking forward to seeing it and you say you are going with 17x9 inch wheels on the rear what size tire are you going to be using

 

going with 275/40/17 here is the link to the ones going on the car

I was going with 275/40 but the guy at the tire said the would rub

 

some get lucky and have to do nothing others might have to do some massaging to get them in

 

Post and let me know how they work out if they fit yours then they should fit mine since mine is a 91 too

 

once they are on Ill post the pics and let you know. do you have drum or disk brakes mine are disc rears, not sure how much of a diff that makes

 

well over the last few days of tearing everything out of the engine bay I am finally ready to remove my driveline. hopefully I can get it done wednesday at our auto skills center here on post. and the guy who was gonna buy my 305 bombed out on me so Im stuck with it for now

Dam Bro really i bombed out on you huh ha ha.......thats too hillarious

 

funny man look at when that was posted that has nothin to do with you, and not to mention that was way before I knew my piston was missing a side skirt, which reminds me we need to get a gathering together

 

I had 275's on the front of my car and 285's on the rear with 17X9's all the way around. The only time I ever had any rubbing issues was when I had the wheels turned full lock, and even then it was only minimal.

 

nice input I still havent installed mine yet the ride is at the paint shop still but my interior should be done by next friday

 

ha ha no hard feelings man was just messing around with you..

 

well my lb9 block sold tonight hopefully this guy delivers my vortec 350 tomorrow, also made a deal for my driveline to be installed and custom subframe connectors, fuel system and all my wiring professional done up, this shouuld be one sweet b1tch.

 

ok so i havent posted in a few days but here is the deal. my car was supposed to be at Don Davis race Cars by now but go figure the car hasnt been sanded down all the way for paint and the interior guy decided to go on vacation. bottom line Im P1ssd. if my car isnt in the booth for paint by tomorrow Im gonna have to raise some hell they have had it for 4 weeks now. On a happier note my vortec heads are done just need an intake now and my 350 is being assembled as of this post

 

ok so heres an update car went to the paint shop and was back today. but go figure the compressor went out at the shop. so the body is all prepped but no paint blah. so tomorrow i am towing da bird down to Don Davis Race Cars to have my custom control arms, subframe connectors, and k-member installed hopefully Ill have better luck with Russel down there but so far they have been the best shop I have ever dealt with

 

ok due to time constraints that have just been put on my build here is an update. my new fuel system is installed new bushings in the front stock k-member are installed, tranny has been sealed. rearend is in the car and my new rims and tires are on the car with the new spacers for my bump stops. I have cut out the rust under the battery area and will be installing the new metal this week then the hotrod flat black will go into my engine bay. While Davis Race cars is framing in the car I will be building my motor- 350ci 11.0.1 compression, 750cfm carb, stock heads for now aluminums later when I can afford them, air gap intake
