I'd be up for taking a look at your project one of these days.

WELCOME TO THE MADNESS! Glad you posted the project. You have some good guys there in Vegas and will help you spend your $$.

Sounds like you have a good plan going forward and post some pics!

Spoke to Tobin @ Kore3 today and the Z51's are to ship tomorrow. Super Stoked!

Josh at JEP has removed the motor and trans so he can start the dis-assembly of the front subframe. To follow is the install of a DSE firewall plate and Vintage Air. His plans are to have it back together as a roller by the end of next week.

Here are a few pics of the mini tubs and motor removal.

Hey Fellas!! The car is coming to together..

I splurged, and purchased a magnum t56 which I received within 2 weeks. A Big Props to American Power train...

Josh @ JEP has the sub frame powder coated, and the firewall smoothed out. The firewall went a little longer than expected, due to the last guy hammering on it to clear an HEI distributor. Josh also added some color to the firewall.

Dirty Silver is coming to life!

The Vintage AC has been installed... Things went smooth, except the previous owner had cut the dash for the 3 gauge pod set up. ERRR O-well Josh was able to patch the dash so we are in good shape. He plans to hide the AC lines through the front wheel wells the best he can.

Mini tubs are completed. Need to finish the Ride tech 4 link and send the rear out to be shortened..

The Kore3 brakes came in as scheduled. The z51's are pretty sweet. Thanks Tobin!!!

Josh started the install of the newly powder coated sub frame, along with the upper and lower Ride tech control arms, spindles and Kore3 brakes.

Need some help from you guys now, the budget is getting very tight and I am in limbo on the interior, seats and gauges.. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Well mine will be mostly stock looking, stock door panels, stock dash with DSE insert. New updated seats, not sure on roll bar yet if any it will be a 4 point for the belts. New car type carpet think BMW/MB. I'm not a big fan of all the custom interior's, don't get me wrong I think they look cool but just think of all the gray tweed that went into all the Pro-Street cars Looked great for the first couple of years but now the first thing I think of when I see that is welcome to the 80's There is just something about the 69 interior that just keeps looking good and not dated for a 40 year old car. Does that make any sense?

Disclaimer: Not bashing any one with a new custom interior or tweed. It's just not for me

P.S love the Gage's in the dash very 70's

Thanks for the reply..

Yeah those gauges are straight 70's, good thing the AC vent goes there.
