Bigrick31's 00 CVPI build

[henticules]

Wow Rick. I've had a few old black & white myself, but this is a whole new level of BAD@$$. I hope you can continue with it.

Here's my 2 cents on the motor; It is my understanding that the big block 429/460 motors are almost identical in width and very close in length and height. If your state or county doesn't require an inspection or annual emissions check this might be viable (in Cali, NY, PA, Michigan and parts of Ohio this will be hard, EPA laws dictate that if an engine is swapped it most be the same model year or newer than the vehicle getting it, and it needs to use all of the emissions equipment - e.g. you will need a 2000 or newer engine to be legal). But hopefully you live somewhere you can skirt these "rules". The advantages to the big block are ridiculous torque and HP, very cheap and a huge selection of performance parts. Disadvantages are it weighs a lot and will probably need rebuilt. The 460 (7.5L) can be found in different stages of evolution in the F series trucks all the way up to 96'/97' and some of the OLD lincoln and ford cars too.

Keep up the awesome work!!

Well finally got my painter buddy drunk enough to want to paint the car we were just sitting around yesterday hanging out and he was like dude let's paint your car!

So I go out to my car today to find this

So im either looking for a vehicle that has a tow hitch the height of my knee cap or some little punk who thinks its funny to mess with my car. If only I could train a monkey to shoot a gun Id put one in a cage on top of my car and have him shoot anyone who comes within 5 feet of it I am so sick of this sh!t!

When you're done with this and are tired of it, I'll buy it off you. I'd love to undertake a project like this, but don't have the tools or space. Since you're making it exactly how I'd do my CV I'll just buy yours //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. Just do me a favor and keep the Ford front end lying around (unless you're doing a Marauder front end). Is your front bumper resting on the curb??

ill be selling the IRS eventually. I think im gogin to try and find a rolled cobra and swap the motor tranny and suspension into my car but first i think ill chop the top. But with my IRS all you have to do is notch your frame a little and weld in a crossmember for it then just bolt my jag IRS in,

Went to a show this last weekend. A buddy of mine who has a paint shop down in So Cal called Sik Kreations came up to the show and he did some air brushing work on the trunk of the car he started at 2am in the hotel parking lot where we were staying for the show.

He finished up about 5:30am we went straight from this to the show

My car parked next to my buddies chevy

The local LEOs loved the car Matt took a pic with them.

I'd really like to see this finished, is that primer or a base coat along with a flat clear?

We used sims trim black single state paint for the car. I spent maybe $100 on the paint job including paint masking tape plastic and DA sanding disks. No clear coat the car will most likely be jet black when it's finished but that's a long ways off.

You mean there's no audio yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ive still got to add a fuel cell in my trunk, body drop or channel the car and chop the top before the audio goes in.

So a base coat with no clear basically? A $100 paint job is right in my budget haha

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

Yea basicly it also helps to have a friend that's a painter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
