Pirate Bman

Hello folks, name is Brandon, I'm 20 goin 21 on the 22nd, and I currently drive my 95 V6 Mustang with a 5-speed. I am developing a project to convert it into a 5.0 with a cobra r body kit I got for my 18th birthday. I'll be repainting the car myself and doing most of the mechanical work myself. Anything I can't do yet or alone I'll be getting a hand from my dad who's had experience building up cars.

My other car and project on the go as of now is my 00 Pontiac grand am, started as a mess about project where I tore down the block, mostly because the repair manual I was using said I would be able to remove the cylinder head while it was still in the car, how ever it neglected to tell me how to get everything in the way off first, hence the tear down and rebuild of the upper portion. Now I'm close to the finishing stages of sanding and am getting ready for paint! I plan to reshoot the black base coat but add a crimson red pearl tint to the clear coat.

So there is my intro post hope to get some useful tips and friends from here thanks for the ad!
PS Don't crucify me for this but, I was goin to trade my stangs for a corvette. the last dream car I have yet to obtain, but I can wait.

Oh and here's my Mustang and grand am . The g.a. is further along, that's just the most recent picture.

Welcome to the forum Brandon, glad to have you.

Good luck on your projects, and no shame in your dream car, I'd take one too if I could afford it.
