Hey heres my first car bought it when I was 16 for $40 back in 76 cam went out of the 330 needed a motor so a buddy had a 350 pontiac I fit it in and finally ended up with a 400 with ramair heads . Car was pretty abused painted with a paint brush skyblue, house carpet hard to believe it was only 10 years old when I got it. got married in 80 the car pretty much sat till 96 then my boys and I tore it apart then it sat in pieces till 2009 I finally started on it. Did the frame first disc brakes ,new springs, lines ,made control arms. Made a rotisserie and replaced the trunk floor, rear widow well made a rear quarter patch panel from a extra front fender I had. The car had dents everywhere but I stayed on it all summer (my shop is outside) and fially my buddy let me use his spray booth and I got some paint on it need the motor and interior yet waiting for the weather and some funds. here are some of the pics as I was working on it and where it is now.

 

Heres some more pics got the front bumper on and threw in a old picture of it doing a burnout in 1978 notice the red fur on the dash cool stuff back then

 

Sweet car. I love the color.

 

x2 on the color, very cool. I really like the pic of the burnout!

 

Thanks guys its house of color candy red over silver metalic

 

In the one pick, is the body actually hanging from a tree branch?? Nice looking car. I like the color. Engine?????

 

yes its hanging from a tree got to work with what you got. body tub is not that heavy it worked fine bolted the stand to it right there and rolled it away. Going with a 462 stroker and muncie 331 12 bolt

 

Very nice!

 

Great story , work, & pics ! (I, too, love the vintage burnout pic!)

 

Car looks great love the 66's. I bought mine in 85 and it came with **** carpeting.

NICE! Thats one clean looker I have one of those too but shes pretty bad she does have a few parts on my hardtop. You know I have seen very few 66's at car shows never more than one at a show exept a all olds show I went too. They are a bitchen car I like the front and the rear bumps better than the 67's

 

Here you go. What part of Wisconsin are you in?

Yessir that will do! looks like the same scoop I have from whipple racing whats under the hood? We are working on air brushing a cartoon on my hood today my son is pretty good with a airbrush. I live in Endeavor 10 miles n. of portage on hwy 39/51 20 miles east of wi dells the dells has a kickbutt show early in the year put on by automotion

 

Awesome project! Is it a auto? 4 speed?

 

muncie 4 speed

 

Yea , I live in Milwaukee , and you aint kidding they have a good car show...the one I went to up there years back had so many cars , that my arm was sore from holding up the VHS cam corder ...filled two tapes worth...there will also be some good Walleye fishing going on there real soon. (spring run)

 

I'm runnin the original 400 I just finished rebuilding it and put the first miles on it today. It's got a 750 DP, Torker intake, 100HP nitrous, VooDoo cam, Hooker headers and 3" exhaust. It's also running an M-21 with a 3:91 posi.

I haven't had a chance to get a picture of the complete engine yet.

I was at the Dells for a wedding last year and saw a ton of cars running around town but never made it into town for the cruise. I am planning on going this year but I'm not sure if I will take the 442. Two hours on the interstate at 3 grand sucks alot of fuel I will have to see how things are going when it gets closer.

 

Looks good should go too! let me know if you come up dont know if mine will be going by then but I will be there with my other car if it isnt I think they had over 1200 cars last year.

Very cool. Really like the color.

 

I love the color too .
just done my car in an oh-so- very close looking color.Several have asked if it is candy apple red ./But it`s REDFIRE MET Ford (eur).(one of options on the 07 stang) Only one drawback. She who must be obeyed says it`s not too masculine a color that she wouldn`t mind driving it Steering wheel is on wrong side over here so used that a negative to neutralise my position.

mike

in the pics just 2 base coats at this point and a little tricky to visualise

Yes I know --caddy but has the 307 in it going to toro 425

 

send some more pics when you get farther on it. looks good

 

impressive 4 link in the rear...where did you find those adjustable uppers? what make are the lowers?
and also, are you willing to sell your boxed stock units ?

 

Thanks
I made the uppers and lowers sorry I dont have the boxed lowers just the plain light duty

 

Got the fatmat on the floor, dash bolted up and painted repainted armrests took old fur off them also. window and door seals installed going to keep the old window stickers that have been on it for over 30 yrs. still looking for some seat belts from a chev pickup with the shoulder strap in blk so I can get the headliner in

 

Looks like your making good progress. I"m glad to hear your keeping the window stickers. I couldn't help but notice your gauge placement, it looked familiar.

 

Sweet car!

 

Good call great minds think alike

 

Thanks

 

my son did some airbrushing on the hood today heres the pics

 

Talented kid, like Ed Roth II

 

Thanks we are pretty proud of him keep trying to get him to start his own biz He does some really cool stuff

 

That looks real good. Always thought air brushing would be a good skill to have.

 

Hows the car doing Mike?
Tony

 

heres the seats and carpet

 

Your son is very tallented. What part of Wisconsin are you from? I would love to hire him on to do some art on my ride. I'm in Salem. If your close we should hook up & shoot the sh*t over a beer.
