I agree with Tim and your comments above. Lower the side bars and modify the window pillar bars to follow the same line of the a-pillar. I'm enjoying following your build. Keep it up.

Great progress. Are they going through the dash with the cage or just following the dash contour? I'd put it through the dash if its going ttii be done again anyways.

its just going to follow the dash contour,,I dont really want to have the dash pulled out.

Thanks,I appreciate it.

Tin work update.

Looking good!!!! I like the sheet metal work

Getting close
 

Things are really comming together now,,the cage has been cut out and. The front rebuilt,just wishing I didn't have to pay twice for all this stuff:G-Dub:

Thanks for the info on the rad
Really like the down bars on the cage

Bob

Here is the summit,,, p/n for the radiator,,,GRI-CU-70010...like I said ,,I can't for sure say how it will work but it's a 2row with 1.250 tubes,so it should work well.

coming along nicely!

After looking at your pics, I'll say one thing, you sure do have an appropriate forum name.

thanks alot.

Just wondering if you ever fired
up your car yet. How does that
Butler motor sound?

Bob

Not yet,they have the rear wilwood brakes on it and are waiting for the global west 1" drop spindles,,but it will probably be fired up this week.

That's good to hear! Hope you make that goal and hear the engine running this coming week. Good luck!

Front brakes on.

Any pics of those Global West drop spindles?

Ended up not using them,,they were taking too long.dropped it with the coilovers and put baer tie rod trackers on it to avoid bump steer.

It's alive.And almost done,,,interior and paint is all that's left ,,,current videos and pics can be seen on the following companies Facebook pages,,,METALWORKS CLASSICS,FIKSE WHEELS,WILWOOD BRAKES,,BUTLER PERFORMANCE PONTIAC.

:trophy-1302: ,,, I will definatly be taking the prize at all local shows,,and will gladly accept any performance competitions...yep feeling pretty confident:thumbsup:

you feeling lucky lennie:G-Dub:

Awesome! Same color or is it a secrete?

yep same color ,,,Im gonna fly down there and drive it around a little,,they tell me its just crazy fast,,and the brakes are awsome.it should handle/stick good with the 10.5" front and 13" rear rubber.The only issue is that traction will be a problem with a quik launch.

Have fun with it! Glad you're staying stock color. It's a great looking blue for these cars.

Car is done
