'69 Cutlass W31 Clone LY6 Build (formerly Red Rocket)

[BanditDave]

Here was something along the lines of what I was thinking...sorry for using a pic off your page, Jay. I'll pull it off if need be.



Just a quick photo-chop I did tonight of what I would like to see on this car. Love the ratedX, jury is still out on it though.

What do you all think?

I grabbed the short block off a local buddy of mine, he was in the VERY low 11s driving his Chevelle to and from the track...he believed he had way too much cam in the thing so I did some research and went with something noticiably smaller but from what I have found I am think I made the right choice.

Right now I am fighting some tuning issues with her since I never did the tuning on a fuel injected motor before so it is keeping me from driving it. That, and I didn't register her yet....hahaha.

Youth, you have a PM!

A little bit of progress...been doing body work when I have a free second. First time really doing this but I am pretty happy how it is turning out. This car is going to be a nice driver that I can say I did all myself in my garage..........and driveway...haha.

Here's a quick couple of shots showing how messed up the original fender was...I do not have anything currently showing the true ****tiness of the original fender but this gives you an idea of at least one of the repairs needed:





Here's my repair:





And the pre-finished product after the first coat (still shooting it again):





Yes I know it is a bit orange peeled but this was literally rattle can special that is purpose mixed by the local shop. It is 2006 GTO Torrid Red. An odd thing happened as I got a gallon of it a few weeks ago that was supposed to be Torrid Red...it is way darker...not sure what was going on there but this is MUCH more obnoxious!!!

More to come!

I say go with the 10 spoke wheels you have pictured here. I love 10 spokes. I'm running a 10-spoke wheel myself.
