Just finished spraying it this morning. I hung the fenders on it and set the hood on so I could take some photos. There is still alot of work left but at least there is finally some progress. It's not perfect but it's better then spending $5000. I only have one tiny run.

 

looks good.. set it down and roll it out and get some pics..I love 85-86s and with that big motor and turbos it will be wild!!!

 

I'm going to put all the weatherstriping, wing, chute, and everything else on this week. Next weekend I'll roll it out and get some wat better pics. Still needs the shortblock built, hot and cold sides coated, engine bay painted, and engine painted. I'm hoping for 11's.

 

yea 11 hundred an 99 horse powa

 

Very slick paint job. Good work.

 

I was actually thinking about going all black, with black wheels myself next winter. Keep posting those pix!

 

I just wanted an evil looking car that no one on a cruise night wanted to mess with. All black looks sweet!!!! I'm even thinking about podercoating the carb hat too so it doesn't stick out as much.

 

that's what I'm talking about .

 

powdercoat the carb too!

#ad

 

The intake, valve covers, oil pan, and block will be black. I was going to powdercoat the carb but Heath said it would take awile. The wastegate and BOV are already black. I pretty much want everything black!!! Black is such a menacing color. Plus, it's the new chrome.

 

Here's some better pics. The front end is just set on so ignore the gaps.

 

DAMMMM!!! that looks sweet man...I would love to have that car....

 

Is that the beast with the big block?

 

Yep, 449" BBF. 88mm for now but upgrading to a 101 next year after I get it running. It's going to be slow though, I bet it won't make 600 horses. I'm shooting for 11's. Let's see some pics of that fairlane!!! I love those cars.

 

Would look even better if you could move the high beams back so they are even with the lows.
