looks like it was originally panther pink
Hi, No the car was white. I got the extra pink doors & trunk lid with the car. The body man thought the pink stuff better so we switched them.
Hi, I have to tell you we started with quarters from Yearone. They were garbage, when i called to return them they said they were daily driver quality. The AMDs were much higher quality much thicker metal & full quarters. My body man cut one open and added some metal too close the door opening gap. The only thing i am a little unhappy with is the top of the quarter at the door opening is a little to wide. I hope this is all clear to you. To install them properly you must cut and remove about 6 inches of the drip rail & put it back. Steve

what front end kit are you using?
Awesome work so far! Where did u get your gauge panel?
And just wondering, dont mean any offense by it, could u consolidate this into one thread so we can kinda see it like a timeline.

Looking good....let me guess...440 Sources timing cover...dampner...oil pan and windage tray.....Comp Cams roller rockers and Indy heads....
Hi, No i bought everthing on Ebay from different people. I think the only thing from 440 Source was new Rods because they have 7/16 bolts. The rockers are Pro Comp. The heads, intake manifold,valley cover & pushrods are Indy. Steve
Hi, Yeah its a mess. Bremereric said he could get me some help. To your question the front end was all Caps Auto Products. After the comments from this sight about UC arm breakage i looked into it and sent the upper control arms back. I have too much money in the car to take a chance. The UC arms are Firm Feel they are gusseted around the ball joint. The Kframe, LC arms, & LC arm struts are Caps. As far as the dash i had my body man make it to my specs. I had one problem all the gauges were angled down so i had to take it apart and install boat wedges behind the face of every gauge. If you check the later pics you will see the difference. Thanks for the questions. Steve
