Your car is looking good! I hope t see you at LS Fest next year. Finished my 66 on wed then drove 500 miles to ls geting over 21 mpg. There were no other fist gens there so I would like some company next year. Wish I had the skill and money to do the quality of work that you got going. I met sixt5 there. We talked about his build.

 

maybe we can all meet up next year!

 

I hope to get it done by spring but just found out that the plant I work for is closing so we'll have to see how money is. Post your guys builds on this thread. I need motivation

 

Baggins mine is Project Ugly Betty Ill up load some picts from LS fest tonight. I have no idea how to link this build thread. It is on this site though. Very sorry to hear about your plant is closing. I built mine on a budget and didnt get to do everything I wanted but I believe they are never done.

Curious, why did you go 8.8 and not 9?

 

Mainly cost and because i already had the housing and multiple gear ratios. I figure I'll have around $1400 in this rearend compared to probably $2000+ for a 9". Im thinking 33 spline axles and the new moser wavetrac should be stout enough- Guys have gone into the 7's with 8.8's

 

I'm running a factory 9" with 31 spline strange axles. I shouldn't have anything to worry about with my 430 ish hp

 

I'm looking to make 1000rw so I need a stout posi unit. Apparently the wavetrac is the ****. It comes with a lifetime warranty too

 

Im just about out of adjustment on the front coilovers... I'm hoping it'll come down a bit once everything is in

Not a whole lot going on as of late but have picked up some new parts




Also a 31x12x4 intercooler

 

Come on Baggins Springs a coming! I had to run the zo6 intake to clear my stock hood

 

Nice build! I will have to show this to my father in law. He picked up a 65 last month and is doing a budget build on it. Nothing like this though. Looking forward to more!

 

Spring is here and the car still isn't done, I know... Hoping for some good progress over the next couple months and shooting for June to be driving it.

Thanks for the compliments guys
