All right, "bird flu" aside everyone has been inspiring me lately on their projects with birds coming out of their cages to play as the weather is getting warmer
I have been working on Lolla and made some progress recently, basically full front, sub frame etc. all removed and getting prepared to put the new setup in.
Sleep has become overrated and any time I can squeeze in on the project when I am not at work or around the kiddos and wife (she has been very supportive - meaning clean up that messy garage or I am calling 1800-got junk...seriously
. With support and motivation like that I got to get things done, no excuses
Last week I removed and stripped the sub-frame, painting some stuff, and a lot of other stuff started happening in parallel
Some pics form latteeee last night (sleep is overrated anyways):
stripped and took the rest of front clip apart, harness inner fender, etc removing the old undercarriage stuff was just nasty, and am thankful there are no rust spots underneath the stuff. I was pretty amazed but whoever did the undercoating did an incredible job, the paint was looking pretty fresh underneath all that stuff.
Before:
After:
Mocking up the front tire riding height.
So quick specs on what will be going in the car:
-upgraded subframe - modified sub, re-welded factory welds, strengthened, powdercoated and then painted
-Ridetech air-ride front and rear - I am building a custom setup with a wireless controller so wish me luck lol
-GW control arms and other goodies
-Body mounts, am debating solid or poly, have both but likely solid on this car.
-LS1, manual 6 speed. Appreciate everyone's input here, need top figure out color scheme for the engine, leaning towards the Pontiac metallic blue or gunmetal, etc,
let me know your thoughts, engine bay is black and pearl white so pearl blue\Pontiac metallic blue may be semi pimpalicious??
-18" whels 275 rears non tubed
-4th gen Pntiac\Camaro\Vette brakes,
and the list goes on and on
