Awesome job! looks great

 

[Joe-405]

Thanks guys. I had a FR500 wheel mounted on a tire to check the weight and size comparison. When I get the narrowed one back I will buy the correct tire and it will be interesting to see the difference. And yes I will post pics and the differences.

 

[Walking Tall]

Nice!

 

[JerZeyStangz]

Wow! I was like DAMN the smallest transformations make a whole lot of difference, I cant wait till its complete.

 

[03DSGGT]

Lookin good...cant wait to see progress

 

[chris91]

So any ideas of whats goin between the frame rails yet?

 

[Joe-405]

To chris91......................

Honestly NO. I had my 468 BBC sitting in it last month but didnt like how heavy it was. So i am gonna wait til the completed roller is done. BUT i do have a S480 turbocharged 355 sitting in the corner still. I dont really wanna "bastardize" it anymore but i might do it just to drive the car this summer then build a 351W based turbo motor while driving it around.

This is the Pic that i didnt wanna post. lol But i can tell you there is ALOT of room even with it in there.................

out with the chevy crap it looks like. (crossing fingers) A guy at work owned a wrecker service and he has a fox body that was impounded by the cops from racing a long time ago. The way hes talking i can just go get the car. No title but it can be titled 42 for a hundred bucks if its nice enough. Then i will get it running clean it up and just make a really nice profit. Going to look at it this weekend.

I actually still have the original engine out of the car but i dont wanna mess with overhead cams. Its suppose to be good. But its been on the side of the house for a few months now.

 

[TanTop94]

I'm excited to see where you will take this car!

 

[Joe-405]

well here is an update........................ Wheels arent backordered anymore so the fronts are here now.  Ready for shipping to get narrowed.  And my control arms arrived also,

 

[jakson]

This all describe passion and interest. Superb car...

 

[cobra head]

nice build brother

 

[Joe-405]

To start things off, The car that i looked at was a 4 eye 4 cylinder so i couldnt use a thing off of it. SO i am gonna use my SBC 350 Vortec Single Turbo engine so i can drive it this year. (sorry purists it is a temporary fix i will build a windsor over winter). I got some camaros to chop before the end of the year !!!

And i was trying to figure a subtle "change" for body mods tonight. I think i got it .........................................

(lets see who can figure it out first and no its not debadging. lol).........................

Third and not last i found my hood. It was $225.00+Shipping and is a full bolt on. www.libertyfiberglass.com (they look good underneath also!)
