Thanks guys, Speedster you are right, I'm glad I waited.

Steve, I paid 20k and you can never have enough red or black cars!!

Check this car out, it's in Ca.

Wheels are already on order..Fikse FM5's

Built motor, 5spd, shaker hood, factory guage pack with factory tach, no a/c, tilt wheel, rack and pinion, maybe total control suspension or Global West, shaved antenna, front& rear spoilers, no slats, Cobra brakes or Baer's.
I kinda want to have a matching look to the Camaro.

What do you guys think about me leaving the factory hood pins, should I leave them or take them off?? I kinda like them but not sure if they take away from the "clean look".

SW -

Obviously, it is a personal taste issue, so do what you like.

As far as options, I fought with that for my car, since I am forced to use hood pins. If you decide to keep them, you may want to look into getting them red/black anodized or red/black powder coated or even "unpolished". That way they still function and things stay relatively "clean".

SW nice score! The car looks real solid :thumbsup: Glad you waited and will build it your way, you've got really good taste when modding your cars. :yes:

I think it would look killer in Black as well, and I kinda like the hood pins. Maybe anodize them black like Bruce suggested.

Have you considered aerocatch style hood pins?

Having driven both I'll throw a vote in for TCP/Alston. It looks cooler and more importantly handles a little better IMO. The GW setup is no slouch though.

That being said the last 2 TCP lay down coilovers I've assisted with in 'Stangs had goofed rear end housings. On both kits one side had the axle tube 1/4"-3/8" shorter than it should have been.

The only downside with the TCP laydown coilover rear setup is that it makes it darn near impossible to run the exhaust out the back.

cant go wrong with black....

Thanks for all the info guys, it really helps. I'm going to try and not get too carried away with this car like I did with the Camaro. I just want to make it a nice "driver" with killer paint and a nice simple suspension set up. I may just go with aftermarket control arms, lowered rear leafs and rack& pinion set up.

I'm also thinking about deleting the heater system all together since it will be cruising in good weather only. I hate to say it, but I never use the heat or a/c in the Camaro or T/A..

I have decided to paint it blk for sure.. :D

Damn, too late to comment....lol
Hood pins, keep um.
Paint-Red

You, keep it simply?????????????? :rofl: :rofl: That is really funny SW..really funny.

You live in Austin and you never use the AC? WOW You must not drive in the summer time. I believe you but that dosent make sence to me. I love Austin, I lived there for 1 year, but the summers are hot. Anyway very cool project. I bet you most of us started our projects saying we weren't going to get to carried away, but they have a tendancy to escalate. a fried of mine has a orange boss 302 he just bought at an auction. They are beautiful cars. I like how the stripes are reflective and look almost white at night.
