I will tomorrow. Be warned it's undergoing a complete resto, so it looks like turds. That's the reason for hunting down a good forum so I can bounce ideas and get tech help... doing ALL the work myself. Kinda hard to do while juggling a job and family. But that's the reason for the build... something for me, the wife, and kids to enjoy.

Here's a pic of the car when I was picking it up. Looks solid doesn't it?

Here's the interior the same day. Not too bad

Here's the car in it's new home. This is while I had it up and running.

Here it is in it's current state. Front and rear aprons rusty, shock towers cracked from the 460/c6 combo that I pulled out of it, driver's frame rail completely dissolving, both rear quarters chucked with mud. That's about it. Going from front to rear. I have most of the sheetmetal to get it back together minus rear aprons and torque boxes. Going with a 95 ford lightning carbed 351w gt40 heads with a t5. So as you can see I have my work cut out for me. Time is the biggest hurdle.

I could have this car "looking slick" in no time but I want it to be perfect. Seems like the further you dig in you think... well I can't just leave that, it won't look right with the other new parts so you spend more and more. It's really a vicious cycle. LOL

I've definitely luck into the right forum. I've heard good things about these projects. Your the asset that I definitely need on my side.
Hey, where can I get rocker panel extensions, not the cookie cutter e-body stuff either. I would like to end up with something like the overhaulin car that was built for the guy in the wheelchair. Custom, but mild items that require a trained eye to spot.
