Hi again! Thanks for the compliments guys, but believe me, the picture lies!! It looks ok on distance, but there is a loooong ways to go, to get it right.
Did not paint it............just gave it a wash!  :D
I am happy with the wheel / tire combo though, for now. Backspace rear is 4-1/2, and yes, it does rub a tiny bit now and then, not much. I rolled up the lips, so i could leave it with the stance i like, and still rotate the wheels, hehe. The rear quarters had some big ass lips!!!! Year one skins, mounted by Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, with only a mig welder, and no angel grinder!!!!

Don´t know what the seats are Marius, if you want them, they´re yours....in september!!  :2thumbs:

QuoteLooks great! What's it gonna look like done?

Hmmmm, i am not sure if i dare to tell :D :D ...............oh what the hell:

Body will be original appearing, but with shaved driprails, quarter extentions intergrated in body, and front wheelwells lifted a tiny bit, so i can use better looking backspace, on the rideheight i want (wich is very low), with no rubbing. Hood, trunklid and front valance in carbon fibre, with a "69camaro style" front lip, intergrated in the mold for the front valance.  Color i am set at, at this point, is a 3 tone white, with grey 69 style stripe, with a little viking painted on the side, where the R/T normally is, in the stripe. Also working on a deal with special windows. Flush mounted front /rear, and side windows without the little triangle window. Just a little triangle support, like on modern cars.

Engine and drive train: 611 fuel injected, drysump, all aluminum Hemi, with 6 speed sequential, dog engagement Quaife gearbox, with pump/filter/cooler. Mark Williams modular rearend, with pump/filter/cooler, and a XV suspention, modified to a 4 link/ wattslink setup. Front suspention from XV. Brakes are XV on all 4 corners.

Wheels will be 335/30- 18 rear, and 275/35-18 front. Toyo proxy R888 tires, on 9,5 and 12 Fikse rims.

I will name the car " The Norseman"  :D

What i am looking for, is the Pro Touring/ Silver State Classic/ semi race look and stance, with proper finish and detail work. :shruggy:

QuoteDamn, that thing looks awsome! I wouldnt change it.

Sorry Ryan!!! :D

CB, i´ll go out today, and get you some pictures from different angels :2thumbs:

Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

You will need to roll the lip, to avoid rubbing. Mine are rubbing a tiny little bit if i go over a speed bump to fast, or something like that, but otherwise no problem, and mine is way lower than yours. A hammer from the inside, and a 2x4 on the outside to hold against, will do it  :2thumbs:
