I think you should get some Dropzone springs.. Especially up front, it's riding a little high...


No seriously, looking good. Nice color.

I'm just hoping to get it back on the road this year. I've got new ronal r15's, and cervini's cowl hood are the only exterior mod's. Going with zz4 short block with reworked vortec heads. .541 lift cam. BW 9 bolt with 3.70's. A few other mods.

I am kind of worried of how it is going to sit. I've bought and installed the new from moog iroc springs and the same will be going in the rear. I saw a few pictures of other cars with the new factory springs and they look like 4x4's. I'm not sure how it's going to look. I would like to drop the car but I'm running hooker LT headers.

i think it looks sweet! I have moog iroc springs myself, and i think the look is killer. Of course I have a sportcoupe, 350HO, and I'm going for the sleeper look. Your gfx won't make it look so high IMHO.

I wouldn't mind if the front end sat 1/4-1/2 lower, but since i've taken out a couple things on the front end, thats my bust.

Keep it up, that looks sweet!

That thing is going to look awesome. I think the Ronals will look good on it!

Some day I'll have mine looking like that: new fresh paint and a perfect body!

Nice job! Keep the pictures coming of your progress.

lol i just took mine to the body shop and man these things are ugly when they are all apart it didnt help that my car was absolutely filthy though.

but you did yours the way i wish i could, which was paint the engine bay and interior and everything. i just got done putting my motor in and then it went to paint today. if i would have had some extra cash and more time on my hands i would have tore mine down like you did and painted everything...

heres a quick pic of how ugly mine is right now. lmao and yes those are 15x7 ralleys up front and 14x7 ralleys out back

Well, I'm making a little progress since the last update. Got the dash back in and heater core. Master cylinder, front brake lines, most of the heater/a.c. box, wiper motor and linkage, and the wiring harness. Let me know if I'm boring you guys.....

I don't want to add it all up. It's not alot compared to some of the projects here. I've got about $5-6k in the engine including the accessories. I've done all the work so far except the painting. I've got $1300 in the body work so far.

Base coat, clear coat. I'm not too up on the painting stuff. The 1300 was pretty much for materials?? When it's complete I'm supposed to owe $2000 more.
