I'll post the complete list of pictures when it is completed. It's not an original color, (citrus green metallic with added gold pearl) originally a '76 L82 4 speed car. It had been beat to death, and had lots of accumulating problems due to rust, poor maintanence, etc. We didn't want to go the total stock restoration route, (been there, done that before with a '67 Camaro RS convertible) It can be very painful to spend $25K to end up with a $15K car.
Work completed so far:
1. 454 engine built and ready for installation
2. S-T-10 rebuilt ready to go in.
3. New F41 rate springs all around
4. All urethane suspension bushings and mounts
5. New calipers, rotors, pads, lines and master cylinder
6. New tie rod ends, ball joints
7. Rebuilt control valve, slave cylinder, and steering hoses
8. New radiator core support
9. new 4-row radiator
10. Paint, emplems, lamps and lenses replaced
left to do:
Rebuild A/C system
restore interior
new weatherstrip
install engine and tranny
fabricate sidepipes, (have fiberglass covers ready)
Hubby has been working on this for about 6 months, another 2 or 3 and I'll be burning up the streets.
(we ran the engine specs through Desktop Dyno, should make 480 HP, 510 ft lb.) Total street monster!
