Well I went out and got another one. Decided it was going to be too much to go backwards with the other one since I wouldn't be able to use much from it. Kept some stuff from it and should be able to get the new bad ass 9in done up fro what I sold it for.
Plan is to finish stripping it down, rotisserie it, get it blasted and in primer. This one is actually going to get paint. Got he color picked out and I'm trading the body work and paint for hours in a turbo kit he wants. So it shouldn't cost me too much in paint. He works where they do 10-40k paint jobs.
New setup should be 408, Glide, 80-88mm, AC, and talking with Steve Moris planning for 800-1000 on 91octane.
I really want to drive it to the track with the AC on, beat up race cars on 91 and drive it home. Hopefully somewhere in the 5's would be nice. Having to go to a 29.5x13.5 slick for this track. Guys with ladder bars going 5.60's wrecking there. So what do you guys think ? In over my head ? Between the $$ and time, this may take a while. I have lots of parts stored so at least I have things to do for a while. Hvae lots to think about like where to stick the AC, or IC for that matter. Wonder which is the bigger twist for me, the AC or paint :lol:

You might want to check the engine mounts. Just a suggestion. Actually, most of that rust looks like surface rust, except for maybe on the rear wheel flares. Looks like a lot of work but it looks like fun. Personally, I prefer coupes over fastbacks except for 69/70.

I'm with you 100%. I could have bought a 67fb for another 2200. I just don't like them. But for the fats and skinny look, you can't beat a coupe. FB's just don't look that good to me with wings or chutes.
It's fairly rusty. but that's what a Ca has come to now a days.Unless you find a desert car. Which I tried. Drove to AZ where a guy had a "straight" 67 just to find out the roof was caved in. A little pissed on that one still.
That's actually pretty damn funny Andrew. So far so good. the wife puts up with a lot. I'll have some of the pics of new parts up soon
