i was gunna ask if you were pulling that motor otu and giving that whole engine bay frsh paint. while your motors getting rebuilt maybe paint your block to match your car. this things gunna be sick when its done. anyways good luck with the rest of your build i gotta get my project pics up lol.

I'm sorry, but this seems like a lot of work to have a rebuilt titled car. I'd never consider doing this for the title issues and the fact that your welds will never be as strong as the original unibody. Why didn't you just buy a roller for $1500-2000 and switch all your stuff over? You could have then parted out the rest of the car for even more money. You'd have a clean titled car and more money in your pocket. I give you kudos for doing it, but it seems like the worst option when you compare it to others.

because this was easier. if i was looking for a roller, i would probably have to drive half way across the country to get it, cause i couldnt find any V8 rollers around my area. then i would have to swap all my stuff out....etc. way too much work. this was much eaiser. and if i got a 6 banger, i would have had to change all the wiring, fuel tank etc....the welds are strong enough, it is square and true. everything fits good with a some effort, in the pics they arent all straight yet cause i didnt take the time to align them, cause they are all coming back off for paint.

trust me, this is much easier. this is not the first F-body that we have rebuilt. and the last one was hit much harder.

yes, it was. it wasent hit square on the nose like mine was, but it was hit on the right front wheel, and it shoved the shock tower under the dash, collapsed the a-pillar and pushed the side of the tower into the motor. everything was pulled and replaced just like mine, and after we got done aligning panels, and doing some masaging on the inner structure, everything ligned up perfectly and it drove straight as an arrow. it just takes some fenagling with these cars. but everything can be made to fit and drive like factory with enough work and patience. i probably have 3 days straight of nothing but moving the inner fender around fraction by fraction just to get the hood to fender gap perfect. but now it is, and it still drives straight, so im not complaining about the work involved. details matter IMO. and i have something to show for it in the end. i could have taken the motor and swapped it, but IMO, that would have been more work just making sure everything was in its place, and im sure i would have chased up more gremlins doing it that way than jsut fixing what i got. and in the end i can say, i fixed it. it looked like this, untill i got to it, now it looks like this.

geez. that would have been one car i would have just gutted and forgotten about. I would have parted it out on ebay and bought a new one. but props to you for taking the time and initiative to attempt to bring her back to life. i cant wait to see the end result!! post pics along the way
