Do most of the work (body & paint done by childhood friend).
I bought this car with the chasse already built (drove by PO's garage and fell in love) way over my pay grade. I'm an electrical/drive-ability specialist and designer but can't weld at this level not many can. You all should see his 69 Camaro, you would **** you pants. I'll get some pictures, he's not a on line type of guy. Built my last V8 914 and a 55 ford PU in a "one" car garage. Now its a two car garage stuffed full of car crap and tools. This lift one post works fantastic and really helps out.

gorgeous color! I love it.

Holy cow! I love them all. Lol. :popcorn2:

Mine is still a work in slooooooow progress.

David

nice, are those bbs wheels?

They are True Forged Competitions.

That's it! We only get one picture and no description of a badass coupe? You're killing us, Kevin. We need more, lol.

People are bein' real stingy on here...it's not fair!!!! Haha

Sorry...its really nothing special. I did all the work in my garage minus the paint. My dad bought the car new and it was given to me as my first car in 1981. The suspension is all Global West...leafs in the back and stock style (not coil over) in the front with Koni shocks and Baer brakes all around. The engine is a stock stroke solid roller 302 with 4 speed toploader trans and a 3.89 geared 9" rear. Going to build a new stroker motor soon just cant decide on a stock block 347 or a Dart blocked 363.

Thanks Kevin! For nothing special it sure does look great. Very cleanly done. Good luck with the new engine.

Go dart but with a 347... The extra displacement isn't gonna get you any more power and going max bore will only hurt you in the long run when you decide to rebuild it 2-3 times, seeing as this car is gonna stay in the family forever ;-)

-stock blocks split after 400-500 hp so if you go dart and wanted to pro charge it or turbo it later or even use it in another project it'll hold up to 1,000 hp without coming apart or needing a new block after you've wasted all that money cutting a stock block for a stroker....

Thanks...and you are right the extra displacement will not make any difference in power. But the larger 4.125" bore un-shrouds the valves which can make a significant difference in power. Also, max bore on the Dart is 4.185" so there is room for a couple of additional .030 over rebuilds.

Ive built quite a few vehicles out of small garages with no lift.. I was mid way through an F100 desert truck, but I took the mustang out to the track and got bit with the bug to really fix her up, so against the wall the truck went and I tore back into the mustang!

Have you considered going to a windsor?

My 72 Ford Maverick project. My hands will do almost the entire build. The only things sub'd out are the interior and the trans rebuild. Everything else is all me from design to the fabrication and on.

very cool project

My favorite shot of my home build. 1966 over 1996.

Cool. How far along are you? I know SN65 was built years ago now but I think it was one of the only cars built in that manner. Good luck with the build.

I have the body in place and welded to the 96 subframe. The 03 Cobra suspension is installed. I need to finish scavenging the Cobra before I can make anymore progress.

Nice. Be sure to make a project thread so we can follow along.

Both my projects here are back and forth, in my garage for the most part and then occasional outings to the experts and a few hacks.

Home built for the exception of paint and body. Ive been working on my '68 Chevelle in my apartments 1 car garage that I share with my NEIGHBOR. I've had the car before I had a garage so I started working on it outside.
Since I do not have room for an air compressor I'm unable to do metal, paint and bodywork. I've done everything else from the frame to engine. I'm in the process of doing the interior and rewiring the entire car.
I'm sure most of what I do is not allowed. I've already gotten threats from my HOA that if I don't stop that I will be forced to move. :action-smiley-027:

http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7069f81f.jpg

haha, stupid HOA's

they threatened me once because they misread/misunderstood a part of the covenants saying that every lot must have space in the driveway for at least 2 cars (my house had a 2.5 car garage and my driveway enough room for 4 cars, so when I was working on one of the cars in the garage I would move them into the driveway

they would get really mad

Do you have a build thread? Id like to see that car in details and also get the specs of your build. Looks different with the gold wheels and i like it!

I also like your list of parts in sig...


Lead.

Where we atm with this one? Anymore progress?? Pics?

Nice to look at as it is... Love those build shots!!

Lead.

Nice builds... I am getting ready to do a Monte SS with all the stuff left over from other builds. :)

Garage built

Shyt...I like this! All business!

Some of the cars my dad and I have built over the years, most notable cars 70 Boss 429 and 68 Shelby GT500KR vert. My dad and I have been building mustangs for over 20 years now

Very nice builds on all the Mustangs:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That black mach 1 is gorgeous.

Thanks guys! Now I just need to get my 67 back up and running!

All great looking cars!
Finally posted my car's progress. Finding the time between two kids is crazy, as many of you may know. My Chevelle is being rebuilt or assembled all in the garage minus any body/fabrication work that hopefully will happen in the next couple of years by someone who actually knows what they're doing...
