I am sure we are all waiting to see a rendering.

Thanks everyone, it means a lot to have all this attention on this little project already. The rendering is on the drawing board as we speak but I have to juggle it with paying client's projects so nobody is waiting on me.

The car is so clean and the color is so right for the car that the biggest visual change in the immediate future will be my favorite one; wheels and stance! Going to www.j-rodandcustom.com Monday for mini-tubs and then probably get a narrowed 9" and some shiny new Baer brakes front and rear. Anyone in WA have a 3rd member with some freeway gears? All it needs to hold up to for now is the 300" nailhead.

Speaking of the nailhead, BooneDog is welcome to it when it gets swapped for something bigger but it won't be until next winter at the soonest because it runs so damn nice and summer is so close, I'm just going to handle the brakes, suspension, wheels and stance for now so I can enjoy it ASAP.

I'll get some really good pics before it goes under the knife on Monday so we can all say a proper good-bye to the cute little Grandma car and have a nice "before" shot of where it starts.

what it needs is is grand national motor to keep the "different" theme going. Well proven to go fast enough, and break stuff if you want one too

I would actually be all over that. Send one up, Mike!

Jason, I have one of those too. Only it's a 4 door. And it's not in as good of shape. I've had a few ideas for mine, but it comes after the Camaro. And if you want to know what the paint looks like oxidized, take a look at my pics. I think our cars are the same color.

Parts have begun rolling in and there's a plan and a rendering so I started a new "Project Update" thread here https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=21361

Thanks to everyone who checked in on it up to this point! The progress is going to come quickly now and I'll be driving it at Good Guys Puyallup next month and plan to have a few hundred more miles on it by then!
