  1. tough call on the graphics. i usually don't care for them but i have seen some that look good.
  2. that cage looks really good.
  3. very nice
  4. i can remember very well though that monte carlo was an absolute powerhouse. i don't think the weight difference is that much between the monte carlo and chevelle.
  5. i remember this car was a factory 4 speed. When my dad and uncle swapped the motor and trans into the 71 malibu they cut a section of floor out of the monte carlo and used it in the malibu. i know the monte carlo was an original ss 4 speed but the 454 may have been swapped into it before my uncle bought it.
  6. hmmm intresting i never knew that. i suppose at some point my uncle's car probably had an engine swap. the car was totally destroyed by a drunk driver but the engine and 4 speed we're swapped into a 71 chevelle. it was definitely a 454 so probably an engine swap at some point.
  7. very nice.. impressive work
  8. i can remember my uncle having a 70 ss in the early 80s. that car was a monster, factory 454 with 4 speed. There's no doubt those cars could have been tweaked and ran high 11s or low 12s.
  9. x2 ^
  10. its coming along nicely..
  11. very nice.. i like the interior.
  12. thats why your on a whole other level building these cars.. i enjoyed the galaxie build and I'll definitely be following this.
  13. that engine looks great!
  14. i would do the aluminum.
  15. nice maverick! your lucky at finding these rare cars.
  16. very nice build..
  17. thanks. i also enjoy trading with you and talking with you.
  18. im not looking to do nothing serious, i don't have the time for that. im just wanting to build a toy. I've got a 66 nova post with a 434 in it that im about to restore somewhat. im most likely putting a 327 back in it. i figure a mustang with a junkyard ls and a turbo will be fun and won't break the bank.
  19. nice i can't wait to see what you do with this.
  20. extremely cool... i love old drag cars..
  21. i had pondered doing this to my 66 nova but im retiring it from track duty and picking up another mustang.
  22. im about to build another but this go around it'll be a turbo ls. I've got a buddy that drives his to and from the track, 80 mile round trip. it runs 5.40s on a 29×10.5 and still has power windows. its a stock bottom end 5.3 with a 140k miles. it has a little head work, texas speed cam, kooks headers, intake but i cant remember the brand. and a 80mm turbo... 400 turbo trans. with a brake in it.
  23. looks pretty close to me.
  24. 6.30s 1/8 mile... driving the car to the track and back home.
