Haha ya thats my attempt to half sleeper it if you can only see the trunk and not the rest lol. I have a spare trunk lid in the garage and i'm slowly in the process of sanding it down then going to primer it. Take some paint to sherwin williams and have them match it then put it on. I want that luggage rack gone too just running into obstacles.

New shifter installed: The Hurst V-Matic II

Sorry for dark picture, when I used the flash the carpet looked really horrible. Thats next on the list

supraboi97 · #44 06-10-2011, 01:37 PM

supraboi97 · #46 06-10-2011, 06:05 PM

This may be the engine builds for next years build off haha. Really the only thing i've run though was a 70's camaro, Has a 355 with exhaust, mild cam, and and a 5 angle valve job but got him by about 2 cars in about a 1/4 mile. Havent raced it since car is babied now. And I know i'll never be in missouri but i'd love to see your car in person. I love the 60's camaros

If you're ever in Austin, or unfortunately in Houston, let me know.

supraboi97 · #48 06-11-2011, 01:41 AM

Haha I was actually suppose to go down to Houston a while back to ride dirtbikes with my sisters boyfriend. But pretty sure going that far I definately couldn't take my car.

texan_idiot25 · #49 06-11-2011, 02:00 AM

How come? Besides the ridiculous fuel consumption, which can't be worse than the CST10's 3.73s on the highway... Which I used to run between Austin and Houston for months... at 70+ bucks each way... :crazy:

supraboi97 · #50 06-11-2011, 03:20 AM

Ya my fuel consumption right now is about 10mpg and I plan on a nice cam in the near future so it will only worsen. But mainly because the car actually doesn't get driven much anymore and it seems everytime I take a long trip something goes wrong. I did just get a new radiator though so cooling wouldn't be an issue(which was the problems the last two long trips)

Looks great on the inside, can't wait too see more.

supraboi97 · #52 07-01-2011, 01:49 PM

Well here is more for you

Just got my fog lights in and scored a good deal on them too

They are sitting at a slight angle mainly because it was a mock up, I just need a couple bolts to mount the brackets and it will be set. They aren't wired yet either due to it being a mock up. Hopefully will get them done this weekend

Just realized I never posted pictures of the 1:18 scale i'm building to match the car.

Even have scale traction bars and fire extinguisher

Bananabrain · #53 07-01-2011, 06:17 PM

Looking good, I plan on building a 1:24/25 scale version of my truck. Kinda hard to find all of the parts I need for it, like the rims, hood & other odds & ends. lol

I have found some of the stuff I need, but not all of it.

supraboi97 · #54 07-01-2011, 06:37 PM

I've got most of the little ends figured out. I found out the starsky and hutch torino had mags wheels just like mine so i plan on buying that model and putting the wheels on this one. Just need to figured out how to make the hood smooth and its basically done.

supraboi97 · #55 07-03-2011, 03:04 AM

Wired up now took about 30 minutes pretty simple

Night time shot to somewhat get the idea how it looks

texan_idiot25 · #56 07-03-2011, 03:49 AM

Nice. Make sure your model comes equipped with a luggage rack.

Bananabrain · #57 07-03-2011, 10:14 AM

Looks great, now just through some hid's in the headlights & fogs & your good to go.

Haha I was actually going to start making one out of paper clip and see how it turned out, however the model still has a pretty good ways to go and by then i'm hoping my rack will be gone. I got a quote from the bodyshop the other day on painting my other trunk lid.

Thought about it but I have high beams to brighten it. Plus with the fog lights lit up it gets pretty bright now so I have a couple other plans im going to try to do. Not a bad idea though for later

supraboi97 · #59 07-23-2011, 09:06 PM

Well one of the biggest updates i've posted on here. . .

Newly purchased 351W, Took a 3 hour trip to college station to get it and its well worth it. Guy said it was rebuilt but then change of plans and never got installed so he decided to sell. I have yet to check the block casting number due to the fact that its still sitting on that tire. But looks very clean and I figure some paint on the oil pan and it will look fine.

texan_idiot25 · #60 07-24-2011, 03:54 AM

Looks fresh.
