Righto, first up i'm gunna copy what's been done from another forum. Sorry about the boring **** to start with. It gets better... Sorry about the build changing directions a few times... That stuff happens. Stay with me
This build could not have happened if it weren't for mainly Jason @ Total Cost Involved. He's stayed with me for around a year now and has continued to help out exponentially without the need to! Talk about going above and beyond the job description. I really really recommend this guy/TCI if anyone is chasing hotrod or suspension parts.
Also Mike @ AES. For taking over a bit of a sour deal and turning it into a great deal!
Once the build is finished, i'll list everyone who's helped me out with what.. There's a heap! Can't thank everyone enough.
Here's a walkaround.
Yes it's an original 67 SS Coupe.
Yes i'm cutting it up and making it how i want.
"Current" plan is 1100rwhp LS1. T56. Tubular front and rear. Mod plated and legal. So far i've had my engineer with me on everything, and so far it's ok.. Also been in contact with Queensland Transport mod guys and my insurance company. I don't want to have a $$$$ build burn to the ground or get smashed up and be left with nothing.
Yeah, so err i really didn't want to do this. Wanted to buy a car and change a few small things but as always i get carried away (my last "daily" had 484rwhp and was 2" off the ground..)
My end goal is to drive this thing like i stole it. Rape it to (hopefully not) death. Originally i just planned to tidy up a few things, fix a few interior water leaks and make a little more power etc etc. Never happens the way you plan..
