Remember that roller 91z28 that Randy (8T8IROC) bought? Well it moved on to me as just a roller, and im making some progress, got part of it painted. The rear quarters, spoiler, and the roof. Its black with violet pearl mixed into the clear. It dosent look too awful bad, i was originally going for a black with a purple tint in the right light, well accidentaly put too much pearl in and have a DARK purple/black in the right light, dosent look too bad but we'll see what happends in the sun. I spent some time color sanding/buffing the worst part of the car (well the most orange peel we had) and it came out flawless, so im happy. All ive done is the sail panel, as it was just painted monday. The future mods are as follows

HSR
SLP Loudmouth
Full poly bushings/mounts
355 from the white car
trans from the white car
possibly 3.73's
full roller valve train/1.6's
Possibly LS1 brake conversion
ZR1 wheels
150 shot of nitrous

And im sure there will be more but for now my main goal is to have a good looking driver, that dosent run too badly, The drivetrain has already pushed a car into the 13.20's so with all of that im hoping for like a 12.80 or so. And of course some tuning. Heres a few pictures of whats done so far, Ill try to find one or two of the car when i got it, but i doubt i can find some.
In the sail panel that i did, i cant find any orange peel at all, so all in all im happy, Let me know what you guys think

 

not too shabby

 

Glad to see it will be back on the road and not off to the wrecking yard...

DON'T EVEN THINK OF TOUCHING THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Thanks everybody i appreciate it

no its actually a jetblack base coat, with violet pearlescents (sp?) mixed into the clear. Its a true pearl paint job

 

Coming along awesome

 

project papa roach just got a big kick into gear, on monday my VATS key cylinder left me stranded again, so i bought a new one for the black car, and we decided to suck the gas out, and start ont he swap of everything from my white car to my black car, So ill keep you posted on how it goes, wish me luck, im aiming to get it done BY next saturday and running but that looks really doubtful.

Also randy can you give me a call about 1145 or so today? I would like to talk to you

 

Will do

 

Jason, didn't you just buy a new house a couple of years back with enough property to put a large garage on? You need to get to building! Have you got the 69 running yet?

 

Actually just bought a new place about a month or so back, a little over 2 acres, so yes, a shop is in the works.... I have been too busy to work on my projects much, I got our 57' on the road, but other than that, not much has been done. My blue 91' is still collecting dust...My 69' has a 454 waiting to go in along with the muncie 4 speed. I had planned to go more pro touring with it, but as time goes by, I prefer more of a traditional muscle car. How are things with you and the family?
