So I bought my car a few months ago and spent a fair amount of money on it. I put in full Hotchkis TVS, 4 wheel disc brakes, new upgraded steering box, Headers and exhaust, converted from an auto to a 5 speed.
Brought it to get it painted and decided to go all out. Car will be painted with House of Kolors candy apple red on top and silver sides. Here is what my plans are. Please let me know if there is something I am missing that I should do while it is all apart. Heidt front and rear clips with rack & pinion, coilovers and Wilwood 13 inch front.12 inch rear brakes. 383 with all forged internals Recaro front seats and complete interior being redone in a restomod theme, custom made center console painted to match Vintage A/C Becool Aluminum Radiator all new windows and making them power along with power locks Billet Specialties Wheels and Steering Wheel Ididit 8 position tilt column Here are some before photos: Attachment 22092 Attachment 22093 Attachment 22094 Attachment 22095 After last paint: Attachment 22096 Attachment 22097 I already put in the Dakota Digital analog gauges |
Moved this to (of all places) the projects section.
Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the way it looks in the "after" picture. ;) Nice work. |

It is far from finished. It is about to be taken apart 100% for a full frame off nut and bolt restomod now with all the above mentioned upgrades. The paint job on it now looks ok in photos but in person it is UGLY and panel gap is beyond bad. By the end of next week the body should be on a rotisserie and being prepped for a nice paint job and proper panel gaps. Motor will be in the machine shop and Heidt front and rear components on the way. I just want to make sure I am not missing or forgetting anything while it is all apart. I will make sure to post pictures as it goes on. I anticipate 4-5 months and it will be done. All parts were ordered today. It is going to be a long 5 months but I look forward to watching the progress and jumping in to help as much as I can,.

Attachment 21919 Attachment 21920 Attachment 21921 Attachment 21922 Notice on this one how my one wheel is still stuck? It isn't hooked up to the steering linkage anymore and we still cant move it. Attachment 21923 |
