My 79 Pace Car Resto mod build

[Unclesams_SVO]

I bought my Pace Car 4 years ago from a member on this site and it has been sitting ever since. My goal was to at first just make it a nice driver but then I decided to make it more of a modern restoration (similar to my SVO build). So I started looking at different engine/transmission options from coyote/navi/pushrod, etc. I had a couple donor GT500's slide through my fingers over the past couple years.

Well last week I finally got my hands on the engine I wanted from the beginning, it is a 5.8 trinity from a 2014 GT500 backed by a T-56 and Mcleod twin disk clutch. I still have a long and expensive road a head of me, but I am a patient guy when it comes to a project car (SVO build ).

This past weekend I also picked up a 85 t-top roller (also found on this site) that has just about very piece (minus door glass) to swap out my rusted sunroof to a t-top .

I was inspired by both the SINIS built Pace Car and the Cobra Jet Pace Car and hopefully mine will eventually look as good as those cars do.
