i need some input on what to do with the sub area!!! here's my take. metal frame with a wood base to put allthread through to hold the box, foam between the floor and the base

the depth

first diagram. angle iron frame. not angled in the middle to the smaller area but it's hard to show what i mean

rivets

roof

I can get some pics sometime. Its not much worth looking at though, i know the motor is supposedly built with forged internals and stuff according to the guys son that owned it (owner died).

Car has rust behind the front wheels, bottom of doors, the rear window has rust around it, and the rear quarters. All the plastic and such is in good shape, its got the original paint (white with burgundy interior)

Lady also has 2 late 70s camaro z28s, both run but also had the wheels stolen, may get those depending on what my money looks like. ***** is stocked up on cars. I really wanted the 67 impala coupe she has, but she wont come off it.

First thing im gonna do is drive it to where i used to work when i get it, my boss used to have one but he had to sell it for something, gotta tease him. Lol

Btw, how much would you say one of those is worth, in the condition i described? Camaros are in the same condition, all original but rusty. None of the cars have t-tops btw.

Oh yea OP, i see you wrote 6.6 on one side, and Super Duty 455 on the other, the 6.6 would be a regular old 400 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Though there aint nothin wrong with a 400, theres 2 laying around here under my shop.

it's got a mild cam and a 2 1/2" stainless exhaust. that's the extent of the motor mods. when i need more power and better handling i'll buy a c5 corvette subframe and throw that and the butler 462 in there.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif key word is when. well this is a minnesota car that was poorly stored and the 'only' rust was on the floorpan (i'm guessing the drivers one was rusted and fixed with fiberglass) and the sill of the door. the hood needed it too but it had been bent so we got a new one that was rusty. so i say it's worth more than 500 less than 5000 but i'd have to see it.. and i'd be wondering what's going on with the motor if the body is that eaten up. i'll try to rephrase that when it's not 30 minutes after work on a friday

..need..more..bodywork! haha. what did you do to the motor?

floor is almost done

mm.. spl tiles

meh, other side

factory deadener back on. looks the same on the other side

 

[speedfreak28 10+ year member]

lol bodywork is far from done. Motor is .30 over 10.5:1 compression JE pistons, balanced and blueprinted, .525 lift 302 duration comp cam, ported and polished double hum heads, victor jr, 750 double pumper, msd 6al and the list goes on. Car has ran a best 12.60 at 108 to date on street tires. It was built to spray but I havent gotten that far. Ive got nearly 10 grand in the drivetrain and the car still looks like crap

forthe sub box you should just fiberglass the bottom 2 mold the floor then build off that??

This. Then lay some deadener in between the floor and the FB. Won't make noise. Will stay in place. Will use all available room.

Good progress.

didn't even think of that haha thanks. but could it be taken out without cutting up the box and glass? and will it stay in place firmly?

brakes almost ready to bleed

shelby rampage. this bitch is gonna be fun. 2.2l with some dodge turbo

external fuel pump because the internal one is inadequate. these things have the worst fuel delivery system. well that's pretty much all chrysler products //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
