Some pics of the car and how it looked when I bought it:
When I bought the car, it was for $20,000 - why did I buy such an expensive car with such low miles with the intention of doing this to it? Well - a few reasons. It's unmolested. Frame is straight as an arrow, and I wanted something that was as close to bone stock as possible with little use.
Money really was not a factor.
and here is the car as of today:
[/QUOTE]
Some major weight reduction is underway, all creature comforts are gone (AC/Heat/Stereo) Interior is gone, motor/trans sold for some pretty good money, and some other stuff is also for sale.
Plans are kind of secret, as I do some street racing and plan to do Grudge Racing at the track. She's gonna be a trailer queen but still able to drive on the street.
Build should be finished in about 4-5 weeks from now.
Looks like a nice build taking place there! I can very well understand wanting to start with a clean unmolested car as I wish I'd have done the same thing when I picked up mine.
excuse my ignorance but what rearend did you end up going with and is there any place online where I can build one to my specs and than they send it to me? great build so far by the way can't wait to watch where this one goes!
I was all for hardbones driving and modding that car. What you are doing is borderline stupid. Sorry for the harshness, but I really feel it's true. This pisses me off. Maybe I'll come around. I haven't had coffee yet.

Its some place in PA - my builder knows them and they are really kinda specialty and dont even have a website. Kinda like a "Small shop that has more work then they know what to do with" type scenario I guess. Only reason I got it is cause he knows the guy.

Your opinion :-) I have my reasons, and anyone who builds stupid fast stuff will tell you that starting from something like this ends up saving you $$$ down the road.
There is no shortage of FBodys, especially low mileage ones really. It's not like it could have gone to BJ and auctioned for $50k or something.
So far, in parting out what I did not need, I have recouped close to $13,000.
The car cost me $20,000. A nice tube chassis car would have cost me double what I have into it right now after parting out.
