Collage of pictures documenting the evolution of my Zombiefish, still got a long way to go but wow what a difference!

NICE! I'm envious of those that can start a project and actually work to complete it. I can take 'em apart and then...
P.S. I like the steel wheels but understand the need for the different offset/size rims on it now.

Thanks! I'm running out of steam when it comes to the interior and paint tho lol. So far it's been a mindset of if it don't make it faster, handle better or more reliable I'm not worried about it. Took alot of measurements and search to locate those rims to fit the 275/60/15's on the back and I needed some more room for disc brakes on the front. I personally think the Foose wheels are a good match for it, since this is resto mod/rat rod.

You have done an amazing job with your car. What did you do to the suspension?

Thank you! It's QA 1 level 2 handling suspension up front with QA 1 shocks and hotchkis leaf springs in the rear with a pinion snubber on the 8 3/4 rear.

Brandt, did you start building this car in NJ?

Lol because of all the rust underneath? No my dad bought it in NC in the 80's and it was already in rough shape.

No, because a neighor’s friend named “Brandt” bought a 1973 NewYorker that I had and he pulled the 440 out and put it in an old black Barracuda (1967 or 1968 if I recall). He got it running and then disappeared from the neighborhood. I thought maybe you were him and moved south. Anyway, good luck with your project!
