I raptor the whole under side and the whole inside of the car plus tire wheels
rolled rear tire wheels


Ive done all this work in my parking lot and in a shop, tell you what a pain in the *** its been...

I am doing a full frame restor my self and this is my first time so if you have any suggestion please fill me in..
 
flat black hood
flat black bumpers
flat black 69 valiant grill
 
man u have some real cool neighbors to let you do that kinda teardown in a apartment complex
 
Hahaha is really that bad in place im from the country im station in wa and no one really said anything but i made sure my **** was clean and you couldnt tell i did a tear down i coverd the car every night with a cover hahah
 
Looking good! Keep up the good work and keep us updated with more pictures.
 
O ill keep pics coming and updating, I got 3 mo to get as much done as i can before they send me to korea for a year...

Now i dont know what i wanna do... I got a 8 3/4 a-body rear end with 4:10 gears and a spool but i was looking a moser engineering and thinking about putting a 4 link but then again i just bought $600 custom made leaf spring and relocation kit and slider ewwww i hate choices.

But im a kinda debating between a moser ford 9 or there fab 8 3/4. Here my choices sell my stock a-body 8 3/4 with 489 center section with 4:10 with spool the is a fresh build and get a ford 9 from moser set up with disc brakes or sell my housing and keep my center section and buy there FAB 8 3/4 with disc brake setup..
 
I went with RHS heads i have mix filling about them I did a port job with 2.055 valves and i got pretty good flow numbers but for a lil more money i think trick flow alum heads would be better IMO so i could have ran a lil high CR

Lots of work,looks like your making good progress.What heads are they?
 
I am debating between custom bucket seats out of a 94 honda reason being they are low back bucket seats and alot lighter then ORG or keep the stock 72 bench seats... Im not building this car to sale or make money off or to be matching number im building it to be my car and unique.
 
I am powder coating every thing in silver vain, hinges, suspension, steering linkage, rear end, transmission, driveline, ex ex

The engine im going to pain sublime green along with the head and paint the oil pan and valve covers flat black. the gold **** on the oil pan wipes off you might as well buy the summit racing mol is so not worth the money
 
The set up im going is 15X7 in the front and 18X10 or 17X10 in the rear.

Go with the Honda seats, they are lighter and I feel more relaxed in them.

Just an observation from the cheap seats here ....

Silver vein is an awesome color but with those high and low spots throughout, it's not going to be very easy to keep your suspension and undercarriage clean.
 
Im going sublime green body with sublime green dash. I got a AAR six pack FG hood that Flat black, I will be powder coating the 69 Valiant grill flat black with with flat black bumpers.

Im still debating on if im going to do all my window trim and and door trim flat black, I shaved all marker light and might do the same with the door handles.

I like the silver! Are you going back plum crazy with the paint?
