I have been sitting on this project for awhile now and finally decided to keep it. Some of you have seen it at the rental. For the moment its getting paint. Who knows where it goes from there.
I scored it for 2 grand from a good friend of mine Ray, who is a brother to a member here (puttingupwithroadrage). I would love to do more with it than just paint, but my budget sucks at the moment. If anyone wants to donate parts i wouldnt object. I have another friend of mine Alex (aimmotorsports) putting it in color once the prep work is done. Hopefully this resto and his custom can land him some much needed side work and he can take his shop further and someday become a sponsor.
I dont have any progress pics as of yet but it is apart now. A few members can attest to the crappy paint thats on it now (cobra tom, fiveohcrazy, parkesmustang, aimmotorsports and 91trunk). I seriously looks as if it had been applied with a roller.
The car ran a best of 14.3 on drag radials with just a light dusting of the tires and a 3k dump. It only has a few mods, so it may have more in it. The motor is stock speed density except for an intake silencer delete, 14 degree timing bump, headers, dumped flows, a pro 5oh shifter, 3.73 gears, underdrive pullies, and the drag radials. I am sure it needs a tune up and some o2 sensors, so there is more in it from just that. Plus the shifter would not let me bang 3rd. I was told this issue is common and stems from the shifter being misadjusted.
here are a couple of pics from the rental.
