Well if anyone didn't already spot the obvious, the bed has been shortened up 6 inches because we thought it just too long behind the wheel.. Also when the bed moved forward the bottom didn't line up. so I decided to drop it an inch lower than factory, while also adding the body line from the front of the car, to the rear section behind the bed. The other stupid thing I don't get, is the "drooping" body line that drops right after the door on chevelles and elcaminos.. I decided it needed cut out and replaced it with a new panel that stays straight. Very small detail but it bugged the **** out of me!

OK Pete, I hope Mario also told you how greedy we are. :rules: I want more pics!! Great start too!! Looking good thus far. As previously mentioned....details for the build are?
|
Well its about damn time... Glad to see your working on her.
|
Pete take your time on this one. I need at least two years to save up some money so I can buy it when you finish it.
|
Nice project, can't wait to see more.
|
Mario that would be amazing if you could do that!! Ok Marty I figured it out I'll trade you for your Camaro and then I'm going to change your bike rack into a fishing pole holder..Perfect for a redneck like me! Hit the track and stop by my honey hole on the way home!
|
As for details, I'm pretty strict on budget for this car.. I've got BBB. (Broke budget builder disease) I'm modifying darn near every panel on the car because that's what I'm into and it doesn't cost me a dime. I'm going to run a mild 6.0 with 6 spd trans out to a built 9in.. I was smoothing and modifying a stock chassis but someone stole the frame and cut it up and Took it to a scrapyard. That made my decision to build the full chassis for the car pretty easy and I'm actually glad it happened now because this chassis will be way better. It has C6 Corvette in the front based off of an art Morrison chassis and it has a four link with a panhard bar in the rear. I also scored a sweet set of forgelines on here last year that were pretty much garbage but I re-hooped a few wheels, did some painting, powder coating, and now we're back in business. More to come soon fellas! Thanks for the comments, it's the best motivation!

A buddy of mine Nelson did this quick sketch for me a while ago.. He is very talented and full of awesome ideas.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to get enough of this one. That wheel color is killing something, so serious....very beautiful!! :ohsnap: :ohsnap:

Well said Marcus! This project is sick. The rendering is off the hook! Can't wait to see more!

This is going to be cool!

Not sure what 4 bar you are running in the rear but let me know if you might be interested in any billet parts for it. We've been working on a few things and would love to help you one the build. BBB support is my specialty. |
