So I think these rear brakes have got to go. They are brand new anyone looking for a set of these. Baer Iron Sport big bear Turino ends.

I am running the T4 up front so I want to use Baers SS4's for the rear.

Some lucky kid took those off me when I sold the motor. Those were the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Few updates.

Car is off at Settin Trendz up in Fresno, They are going to work their Magic on the Custom Fab things i wanted done, also paint.

Picked up a LS3 long block from a friend for practically nothing. The engine was in a 1960 Impala for a month then the car had a small electrical fire which the intake had melted and left crap all over the engine. I tore the heads off sent them to the media blaster and now getting ready to put it back together.

The engine was a GM Crate with the 480 Cam upgrade. Should be a decent starter engine.

Nice score with the LS3! They're good motors and they've got plenty of potential.

Great score!!:thumbsup:

not sure if you had your wheels powdercoated yet, and I know the color is not for everyone but the flat gold center with that color would really make it pop!

Centers are not done yet, I was thinking that too. Decisions.....

Subscribed, great build and progress! I am also working on a 67 with an ls1/T56 conversion. The engine swap turned into a "floor pan, subframe, suspension and full re-wire" project, lol. I wish I had the funds to do the body work. I will keep it a "sleeper" look for now...:yes: Can't wait to see the progress on yours, I really like the 69 lights in the lower valance, great job with that. See you around so cal sometime....

I'll update pics off FB this weekend.

Shaved drip rails.

Rear spoiler is getting worked right now.

Front lower valance will look similar to Marquez's with the 69 lights.

Car will get primed next week then blocked 3 times

Here are some shots of the spoiler, we will be changing a few things on it, so i should have more pictures soon.

Looks good Jay. I assume the tape is used to not ruin the body lines?

Yes keep them perfect and straight.

You got it John. We block up to the tape line (one edge is on the bodyline), then put the tape on the other side of the line and do it again. Like Jay said, it keeps the bodyline straight and crisp.

great work guys!

Awesome. Gettin closer :yes:

I've never seen this build thread somehow. I love the front end mods--that is one of the coolest setups i've seen yet. Outstanding! I may have missed it, but did you decide on wheel color yet? The gold would look awesome with the right wheel for sure and would set your car apart even more so. Gold sounds risky--but you are working at the right place to do it over and over. Glad you found a great deal on the LS3 also--that is great.

D

Thanks for compliments guys. Getting very excited to getting it back home.
Doug not sure what finish ill be going with being around wheels everyday I change my mind every day it seems like. Haha
