I had to stop work on it because of money issues... but I hope I can start again soon. Like said before, want to rebuild everything. Want a clean & smooth car - good suspension, good brakes and a nice look. Also thinking about a manual transmission... 4 speed or a T5 would be nice but here in Germany very hard to find. |
Welcome Kev. Maaan, that car brings back memories. My first car was a 1978 Monte Carlo. Bought it when I was 14. It had a 350 in it and it was a super quite running car. I drove it all through high school and until my sophomore year in college and handed it back down in the family. Good luck and keep up the good work.:lateral:

something like that I want it to look like:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1..._quickchop.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../quickchop.jpg I really like the BOSS 338 rims: http://i42.tinypic.com/2rc4d8k.jpg But at the moment I don't know if 18x9.5" Backspace 5" will fit on the rear. I also bought a 59/60 dashboard to do same like that: http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15561 http://www.hzemall.com/our_gallery/i...al/install.htm http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...s/P1010040.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../P10101058.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...lo/ideas/1.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...lo/ideas/8.jpg also decided to get some Jag doorhandles like this.. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...Doorhandle.jpg |

|
perhape you are interested in buying my malibu... the frame is done, 112% hardcore pro touring suspension.. full leather interior.. forgeline wheels, etc etc....
|
thx! sorry but I want to build my MC. your Bu looks awesome man! if you don't mind - how much you're asking?
..collecting parts for LS1/T56 swap: http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a.../GSIpedal1.jpg http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a.../GSIpedal2.jpg ordered GSI clutch pedal :) |
just found some pretty cool door handles:
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/handles0.jpg http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/handles1.jpg by pressing the button the handle will come out. what do you think? need to measure the stock handle of the car. these handles are about 6.25" long (from aluminum handle to button).. |
What are those off of? there cool.
|
thx :)
they came off a european small car: a fiat barchetta http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3...tbarchetta.jpg need to find some old doors of that car to cut the moldings out to get them weld in like that http://www.autobild.de/ir_img/59097617_baf160dff0.jpg |
looks good so far keep posting pics of the build.
|
Well so much for looking for a set of those. Thanks
|

pics of today's work!
me @ work http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3764.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3765.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3769.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3770.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3772.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3775.jpg and here the look out to my daily mustang ;) http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...0/IMG_3761.jpg I pulled the engine few hours ago and I must say it was easy going for my first time doing that. next step is pull the chassis out the barn, finish the body dolly and roll the body further in the barn so I got more room to play :) will look around for a sandblaster for my frame and so on... |
Looking good! Progress and new tools....:thumbsup:
|
Hi, Looks like a COOL Project! One question where could someone buy the door handles from? maybe a link or something? And keep posting pictures! This rocks! :thumbsup: Thanks
|
thx guys!
sorry these handles are very hard to find! you can get the handles easy but not the metal sheets to weld in. but I can ask the guy I got mine if you want - PM me. |
OKay I dont know how to do that yet HAHA Just email me the info if you can. Thanks [email protected]
|
@~MLC~ I sent you email
today I finally finished work on the rolling body dolly. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0195.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0198.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0194.jpg weather is finally nice over here in Germany. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0193.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0197.jpg already started to rip off the old fuel and brake linkes and other parts.. |
today's pics..
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3801.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3803.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3805.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3806.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3807.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3808.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3811.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3812.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/IMG_3813.jpg frame's ready for the blaster ;) |
back to work again. today I started scratching all that underbody protection stuff off they put on here in Germany. It helps against rust in winter with all that salt and stuff on streets..
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...1/Foto0370.jpg I love it :eek: http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...1/Foto0374.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...1/Foto0371.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...1/Foto0372.jpg took me the whole day to do that sh*t omg and still not finished with that sh*tty underbody protection cr*p. friggin hard chewy stuff! anyways hopefully I can bring the frame next week to the sandblaster where I'll blast that thing.. |
Keep working hard, buddy. Can't wait to see that rendering come to life!!
|
thx :thumbsup:
so yesterday I scraped off the rest of the undercoating stuff and found some ugly stuff: http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0377.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0378.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0383.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...7/Foto0384.jpg One of the pre owners did some "repairs" and covered with bondo and undercoating. well I think I have to replace that section. Already found a good site for replacements: http://www3.sympatico.ca/conradlozier/ Fortunately the rest of the frame is good and only needs to be boxed and some rewelding of the factory welds. Anyways I'll sandblast the frame this week, finally! Next weekend I'll test fit my rear wheels (18x9.5 with 295/35) and will see how much work need to do on notching rear frame section. |
today we brought frame to the sandblaster's shop. I'll blast that thing tomorrow! :thumbsup:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...2/Foto0399.jpg he said already reweld almost all factory weld on underside of frame, welded control arm brackets in and boxed the sides :thumbsup: man he's fast - I just wanted to be there when he starts because I need to learn how to weld :D |

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0400.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0402.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0404.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0405.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0406.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0407.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...4/Foto0408.jpg almost there! :cool: Now at the moment I'm thinking about to galvanize/zincing the frame so it'll be 100% forever rustfree... |
thx :)
