Old post got deleted or i just can't find it so i am just going to make a new one.
This is what it looked like when i bought it on feb. 13th 2006
I got it media blasted and this is what it looked like when i got it back. Had some damage. I spent a lot of time on the bodywork, probably longer than i should have but i was working at the time and didn't have much time to finish.
Front Suspension:
- Martz custom frame
- QA1 Coil overs
- Flaming river steering
- Wilwood 13 inch disc brakes
Rear Suspenion:
- Martz coil overs
- Fully adjustable 4 link
- Ford 9" with 3.89 gears, 35spline axles and a detroit locker with 13 inch Wilwood disc brakes
The Motor:
460 bored and stroked to 532 Big Block Ford;
- Probe pistons
- Canton Oil pan
- .588 intake, .614 exhaust cam
- Edelbrock Heads and Intake
- Crane Cams rocker arm girdle
- 950cfm Holly Carb
- MSD ignition/MSD distributor
The Drivetrain:
- Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
- Lakewood bullet proof bellhousing
- TKO600
- Aluminum driveshaft
The Interior:
- Black interior
- 4 point roll bar
- Autometer gauges in stock dash
- Brushed aluminum dash
- Stock leather seats
- Custom Center console to hold my stereo unit and 3 more Autometer guages
- Kenwood DVD/GPS headunit with 2 5" Pioneer speakers, 2 6x9 Pioneer speakers and a Pheonix Gold 300Watt Amp and a PG 10" Sub.
- I knew with all the torque the big block was going to give me i needed subframe connectors so i cut the floor to put them in
Exterior:
- Laser Red Paint
- Shelby GT500 Scoops
- Shelby Torq-Thrust M wheels with Nitto 315 drag radials in the rear and Nitto 245 tires in the front
- The only badging i am going to put on this car is a Shelby snake in the front grill and possibly get my cousin to paint 532 into the side of the cowl hood.
- Wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible on the exterior but i forgot how tall the 460 motors are so i had to get a big cowl.

I'll keep adding more description...

Of course i am going to ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Open headers too
I am kinda nervous on how loud its going to be.
The exhuast is going to be the long tubes i am building now into an x pipe and then into mufflers dumped (i hate tail pipes) but its going to be loud as hell so not sure what kind of mufflers i should get.

WOW! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I am amazed at how much time and effort you have put into this car over the last few years.
This thing looks KILLER! Can't wait to see (and hear) it when you get it done.

This thing is a beast !!! Great job on your build
I wish I could post pics of my project LS1 el camino I'd get no love on here. I'm painting it this month and finishing the front suspension ...
my uncle has a 70 vert. Laser red with I think the same wheels that you have with 315s in the rear too . I'll try to post pics this weekend

So i got pretty much one side of the headers done today. I thought it was going to take me a month the way it started out but once my dad and i got into it we started getting ideas and putting things together.
