So now what do I do!! Well I am already in the whole on the car, and already started this crap so lets take it the next step. With the Caliber of car I am wanting to build I felt it a true nessescity to replace all teh sheetmetal. Quarters, roof, filler, and upper firewall are on order. So basically this is how the car sits as of last night at 7 PM. There are still a few hundered spot welds to drill out to get teh flanges or the quarters off, but was able to find that most of the inner structure is perfect.

Did I say you could put pictuers of me on the net? :D

Guess what I found today while looking for something my my little storage building? I found 6 bags of glass that I did not even know I had. :lol:

Mike

we started with an original 426 HEMI car......... was that bad? :_paranoid



























:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

at least I got your good side in the pics!!!

Back to real life, Goodmark has more of my money now. Both full quarters, roof skin, rear filler, tail pan, and lower rear valance or on order from them and will be here wednesday. And it back to work on it!! Anyone know where to pick up a driver side rocker??

Frank at Prodigy is getting more of my money also. Ordering a dana 60, tires, and 14" wilwood 6 piston setup from him. As well as picked up Project Prodigy's Forgeline SP3's from him today also. Car should be nice with a 19x11 fronts with a 295 and rear 20x12 with a 335 tires, black center and inner hoop with chromed outer.

The steel business has more o my money now also. Just placed a order today for 15 stick of 1.5" DOM .120" wall tubing to start the chassis.

I have never been so excited about a car in my life. Now just to pick up a sponsor or someone that wants to give me a spot at SEMA. That's right if I get a spot, she'll be sitting in Vegas this November!!

Well as much as I hate to say it, plans change!!! After picking up the junk 12 valve Cummins yesterday, it proves what I and everyone else though its not gonna happen. I mean I could do it, but 1200 plus pounds in the front of a car totally kills the pro touring vibe!!

So the new plan is a World Products 426 Hemi backed by a TKO 5 speed. Shooting for 600 RWHP using a Fast EFI system or something similiar.

duramax?:D

MAN ............. you suck!:bow:

Well it was a busy Saturday. Spent all day fighting new sheetmetal and getting it on the car. Replaced both Quarters with Goodmark pieces, roof from AMD (American Metal Direct), and the rear filler from Goodmark. Went together surprisingly smooth. Everything fit like it should. The roof is great, thicker than stock, great fit, etc, couldn't be happier. I'll get some pictures posted up tomorrow. Also picked up some needed parts that I am awaiting delivery on. Picked up a complete C5 suspension with lower crossmember for $800, 10 stick 1.5 DOM, and some other odds and ends. Car will be on the frame table by weeks end.
