what i started with
 

paid 8k for this/decent car .327 glide

i just couldnt stand the ripples from the older repaint.i tried the wheels.then one day it hit me.its gotta come apart.ive stripped it to bare metal gutted inside and now im on my way to a nice budget minded pro touring car/if there is such a thing.im at the point now where i just mocked up front sheet metal.

Good luck with the build! Keep reminding yourself this is a budget build! You can do it!! :thumbsup:

Looks like a great build!! But for some reason BUDGET and PRO TOURING just do'nt work for me!

It's a vicious cycle.:yes: Looks like a great car to start with.

I find myself at Pro Touring anonymous.

Hello, my name is Frank and I have ProTouring budget problem!

I'm also a supporting member.

haha frank i know what you mean there i was saying i was only gonna spend this then came to only do this then was i only gonna spend another5k i promise sweetie then you have a 5k car with 30k in it or more right sounds like my car is heaed that way but look at it like this your still in business because of people who are addicts like me! so if you think your gonna build a budget car keep thinking there :yes: budgets are over rated :rofl:

starting point
 

Man, that thing has Grandma written all over it :D

Nice.

What are the rear tire specs/size?

Just what is a budget minded pro-touring project? Just buying one of our cars broke our budget.:_paranoid

Nice looking car to start with. Looks solid.

Good luck with the rebuild. Post pics

the car is painted and ready to start the rebuild.ill keep everything posted

Looks like a great starter. I'm trying to do a pro-touring/stock car myself. Trying to keep it on budget. Its hard but you can do it.

What color blue is that? It very nice.

Nice car to start with and any car that runs and shows up at the events is good enough for starters. Get it running and do the mods as you go.

Put an LS motor in it no matter what else you do and you will save money in the long run.

Have fun !:thumbsup:
