Have I mentioned I want a 5.0 Coupe recently?


Sweet car!!!

To quote Hooptie"I hate you!!"

If it does a 9.99 I will be pleased, but expect a bit better than that. My last BB coupe went 10.70's w/1.51 60' with a VERY mild combo on a 150 shot. It was driven daily. I do not think mid 9's will be out of the question. This is pushing the street thing a bit but I am older and a bit mor wise this time. Lots of PB&J dinners to finance this one though. thanx for the compliments!

Damn...

I hope Pre-87 tailights are gonna fill those holes.

[466coupe]

But of course! it is staying all 86!!!!!! (on the outside) Yes it has the 86 dash and interior also to answer your next question. I just can't wait to hear someone ask what this four eyes is lookin at. (lol)

[466coupe]

It even has the 86 GT style hood stripe with a twist.http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/33248/2.jpg

Sweet I never thought of removing the winshield and back window to cut down the wind resistance :lol: :lol: . Just kiddin lookin good when you think it'll be running. :)

Thanx for the compliments! I should have it together my spring '04. This one will not be a rush job as I want to make sure it is right. I am on money hold (sound familiar?) for the expensive stuff, but I have enough to keep me busy for a while. I try to make it a habit of working on it at least 20 hours a week. Now if I can get my girl to come out there and help..............

Two thumbs up. :D

Car looks great! I'm considering a 460 for my new project. What were some of the major difficulties you've ran into doing this. Headers, brake booster clearance, trans and motor mounts, drive shaft...etc.

Any good tips or shortcuts for someone considering a big block?

What color silver is that, and would you have the code.
I think my 86 will be painted silver too.
Thanks
