A little quick update & edit of the car... We're back from paint and I spent a quick few minutes doing an edit of the intended ride height to showcase where we'll be looking to go with the car... Many thanks to Tony & Nicole, Michael (Pablo) Tersigini, and my son Christian whom all helped and worked on the prep and paint for this car....

Very nice, Albert! Makes me realize I must bring the rear of mine down sooner rather than later.

Just a quick update as it's been a while... We're waiting on parts but things are starting to take some shape so I thought it'd be nice to share some pic's...

My good friend Tony Ramos will be building the car together with myself and I look forward to a very cool ride that pays homage to vintage styling while updating suspension components, driveline and shedding some real weight for a daily driver... The build was inspired by a super nice TA from down under (thanks Cam she sure is a beauty)...




The plan is to run a basic LS1 warmed up by West Bend Dyno that features a MSD injection system through a Brian Finch provided T56 and 10 built ten bolt... Utilizing a stock subframe we'll update with A arms and coilovers up front from our good friends at Ride Tech... Pro-touring F body will be hooking us up with their G-Braces, frame connectors and solid body bushings.. Out back we'll be utilizing a set of Global west lowering springs and Ride Tech smoothies.. The vintage appearing 15" Ralley II's will compliment the stockish paint theme and BFG Goodrich will be planting the power to the road in vintage styled rubber.... The showcase a PPG custom color blend has a unique Turquoise hue to what would otherwise be a Lucy Blue paint scheme and the interior is somewhat undecided,, however is leaning to one of my signature Tuxedo White updates...

Carbon Kustoms Ltd will oversee the build and of course be supplying the nose, hood, shaker, fenders, inner fenders, and door skins.. Should budget allow we will be reaching out to Anvil auto for a trunk lid, rear center spoiler section and rear filler panel...
I love the stance on this and want to put the same wheels and tires on my 72
Do you happen to know the size and backspacing of these wheels and the tire sizes? I'm guessing the fronts in that pic were photoshopped from this copy?

That's a factory color called Lucerne Blue. I'm not sure what brand/supplier he used.

Post 37 suggests a custom mix. It looks a lot like Lucy blue. But looks to have a lot more flop.
