Well maybe not soon, but by next year. Here she is! Looks rough, but this car is super clean. Its from Vegas. I purchased it from Todd. He has had it for a few years and the first day he got the car I tinkered with the idea of getting it from him. I just want a fun cruiser for me and the kids and a weekend racer. So here are the plans:

It will be painted regatta blue with light grey(86) interior, chrome ponies and a black top.

Engine will be a carbed 6.0 ls2 head/cam with nitrous and with a th400 behind it. Full exhaust of course.

No race suspension, mostly street stuff. It will have full frame ties and a 6 point roll bar. The car will see the track for fun, but not to set any records.

Here are the pics, I started taking it apart to clean the wiring up and get ready for the color change.

This is the only rust, and its just surface rust from where the battery was at.

Is it done yet? :dunno:

I like seeing builds like this ,step by step pics, thanks and keep em coming.

Ok, I reprimed the car today and started wetsand with 400. I'm pretty stoaked on how straight the car cam out. I fixed alot of door dings. Its gonna look killer in black!! Although, ragetta blue is still in the running for the color.

Nice-

BUT a carbed ls2?

:rolleyes: :flush:

Yes sir, cheap and easy. I got the engine with the car, traded some things and got a pair of ported heads. Sorry, my budget is low so I have to work with what I have. I'm tired of sbf stuff anyways, and I cant afford to build a mod motor with a blower.

So, 6.0 lq9 truck engine(brand new) heads, cam and a fogger!
