Well I finally decided to start my post on my little coupe I bought to convert to a budget V8 conversion hot rod. I am plan to build this little coupe and make it nice but do it on a budget. Here are the pictures of the car I am starting out with.
Looks like your starting out with a clean car. Winter will be hitting the hills of West Virginia pretty soon so I better start on my also. Good luck,have fun and keep us posted!
Thanks! I felt the car was a really good start and I really wanted a four eyed coupe. I have more pictures I took because it had some pretty funny stuff done to it when I got it. I knew all the goofy stuff could be undone and it would be a nice car. Here is another picture. I'm going to try to add more.
Here is another!!! I like the 5.0 fender emblems better.
You also have to love the huge bass port for the fo 6X9!!!
Mike did you ever figure out what your going to do with the drivetrain out of that cute coupe?
As of right now everything is still in the car except the 7.5 rear end. I have already put the 8.8 in it and the 7.5 went back into the parts car. I plan on pulling the motor and trans. complete. Are you interested in it?
Yes Mike I would be, since I have friday through sundays off now my schedual has freed up quite a bit, if you also need a hand or two please let me know.
Yeah Mike I can bring the wife and drop her off at LRS and dissapear with you,that shoud keep her busy for a few hours =P
Don't if my pocket book would surrvive, but she'd be happy alright, I might have to get a night job after that.
I was planning on leaving the motor in it until I got all my other motor parts in order but it is keeping me from doing some stuff to the car I want to get done. I don't have the room at my house to pull the motor myself so I am going to have to haul it some where to pull it. Most likely I will be pulling it at Scott's. I would say once I get it out it's yours. Depending on his schedule and what he has going on in his shop I would like to pull the motor in a couple weeks.

I resemble this remark!!!! You can leave me in the good hands of JMac and I can get all kinds of good things for my car ;)
Oh there goes the nieghborhood, ok I guess I'd better start looking for that 2nd job then =)
