[rocketrod]

Mike and his crew do some amazing work! Can't wait to see additional pics and details of your build.

[buickfunnycar.com]

holy crap...what happened to your car man?:_paranoid

[Vegas69]

Wayne it's going to be one hell of a quality build. I have to ask....why did it need taken down that far?

[waynieZ]

Well it started out needing a complete floor ,then the trunk had some pinholes scatered a round . The tail panel had rust all a round the taillights. The quarters had been fixed badly. There was a small hole in the roof skin and It was well if we fix this then that 's not much more and on and on. I brought it to a guy in my area who does awesome work .He wanted $10,000 labor to put quarters tail panel floor and trunk. I had to bring all my own parts.
So I bought all NOS parts .I was ready to have him do it . Then I saw Mike's site and couldn't believe his work , for $3,000 more he provide the parts not NOS but the way he installs them I couldn't tell the difference. I sold the NOS parts and paid for half my work. I kept the front end NOS parts ,but the rest are from Mike. I spent a bunch more with add ons but its my one shot at this so I jumped in with both feet in the deep end . And I'm not sorry.
THanks for looking
WAyne

[waynieZ]

Here are some sub frame pictures Mike blasted the sub and found it had been hit on the drivers side . So he suggested we cut the crossmember in front of the motor and replace it with the set up they use to install a Rack system. Then he fixed any rusted mounting points . Then he welded all the seams solid, and ground it smooth. He powder coated all the parts It has DSE upper control arms with Xtall ball joints ,Speed tech lower control arms . All new Moog steering components with tall outer tie rod ends to combat bumpsteer. 3" drop springs with single adjustable Vari shocks and a dse front sway bar. Check it out its the first part for the car thats finnished!

[awr68]

Wayne that is going to be one awsome car! It takes a solid foundation to build something real nice...and you my friend have started out the right way!! :thumbsup:

[radrambler]

wayne

radrambler

[awr68]

Wayne I hope you like your avatar! :cheers:

[GMracer]

nice project, I'm from MA too, where you located?

[tones2SS]

That is awesome.
Sub frame looks awesome. I do believe you said it was DSE correct? You cannot go wrong there!!!!
I, too am from MA. Forgive me for being dumb, but where is Mikescustomcars loacted?
GOOD LUCK with the build.:thumbsup: :cheers:

[waynieZ]

Awr68 Thanks for the avitar, The last time I tried to put it up it was too big Thanks again.

redrambler no rendering yet I was hoping to get one some day. For last christ mas my wife had someone in one of the malls do a colored chalk drawing of it as a before. The build will be the original sub done as you see it the engine is a Bill Mitchel Limited addition 454 small block 600hp/585 tq ,it has a Dominator carb which I will try to swap to EFI when I have the cash laer. The trans is a Keisler Viper 6 spd with a hydrolic throw out bearing . Spec stage 3 clutch going into a Chris Alston Fab 9 with 31 spline Auburn pro posi with 3:50 (for now ) Mike iis making for me. I'm using an Air ride G bar 4 link with single adjustable Vari coil over . Mike is going to cut the gas tank front corners so I fit my Hooker Super comp headers and Magna flow 3" exhaust to the back. The wheels are Rushforth Livewires full polish 18 x8 5"bs front and 19 x 12 5" bs. Tires will be 245 -18 and the rears will be 345 -19s

Tha body is being reskined at mikescustomcars.com if you want to see more check it out under projects Wayne Mendoza Mike is smothing the fire wall ,and moving the wiper motor under the drivers fender. He is also puting convertable rockers on it 3 piece instead of two stiffen the body. He is also putting frame connectoers and tieing the sub frame to the rockers for stiffness. He powder coated my inner fenders and radiator suport ,and he is alining all my sheet metal. Which he does an awesome job at he welds the edgaes if needed.I have NOS front and rear bumper and al lot of new parts for outside. I also bought a set of Prodigee customs smoked glass kit. DSE elec RS conversion kit it is a real RS /SS but vacum sucks. The car is 53000 # match car all stored away.

Interior The interior is original to the car its in decent shape, but I would like to get some Marqese door panels and rear deck panel .Maybe later on.
Sorry for the rambling and I know I forgot a lot of stuff.

GMracer and Tones2SS I live in Fall River in the SE part of the state.
Tones2SS Its a factory frame solid welded and DSE and Speed Tech control arms.

Cool. I live in Walpole and work in Canton so I drive thru Stoughton every morning and afternoon going home. Small world.
Wayne, your wheels look NASTY!!!!! WOW!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[GMracer]

Wayne

[Rybar]

Wayne, really nice build. Like your choice of parts, and looks like Mike does some killer work. :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Thanks Rybar he does excelent work .He's an excelent fabricater.

[waynieZ]

I never named my project but this is the plate that went on it when I bought it so I guess thats it.
The story about the plate is this . I used to work 50 miles from home and I had to travel on hell road RT24 from Boston. ( anyone who uses it knows what I mean. ) their used to be this little BMW Z3 that used to fly by us in the work truck every day. We would be going 80 and she buzzed right by us.I got a look at her she was about 21 blond and gorgeous. We would look for her eery day . One day she got stuck in front of us and I got to see her liscence plate . It was from Ma. FNFAST I loved it .When I got home I told my wife about it . She said if you like it get it , I explaned it was a Ma. plate they don't do doubles.

Later that week A few of My buddies came over the house one was drunk as a skunk I was trying to think of a good plate . He was half asleep and didn't get in on the conversation. We talked all night with no ideas when we woke him up he blurts out . How about FNQUIK . He hadn't even flinched for two hours and comes up with a winner.

I mentioned it to my wife and she said get it if you want .I told her the state might not let me if they pick up on what it means. So I didn't even try about a week later my wife hands me an evelope from the registry , I opened it . It had FNQUIK on it and said it was aproved , she went and tried and they let it go . Thats how I got my plate.

When I put the plate on it some kid in a WRX that was no stocker came on the side of me and asked if the plate was right . I told him it was but it meant how my money was going sense i bought the car . He laghed and fried all four tires when he left. I would have had a better chance on foot to catch him lol

I have a lot of pictures of the build so far I will try to catch up to where it is now .

[waynieZ]

These are the first pictures I saw

My car has more done to it and I will post more . There are more pictures in the new projects under Not new and not just a frame off . It shows my subframe done and some other stuff.

[waynieZ]

Thanks guys. Pete your right a bout that his work is meticulous . A friend and I went to see a car in NY that MCC had done. The guy with me didn't believe me when I told him the kind of work MCC does. He's the worlds biggest doubter. I started talking to the owner and my friend got a creeper and looked under the car. He didn't even crawl out from under it and all I heard was
SEND THIS GUY YOUR CAR! . Right after that I made arrangements to bring the car, and I'm so glad I did. I know when I get it back it will be straight and last forever.

[waynieZ]

For more got to project updates look for Project FNQUIK Thanks Wayne

[waynieZ]

Recovery Room My wife put it in with the registry and they let it pass, and I was good to go .

Detroit Express Mike is the best fabricator i've seen .his shop is always clean, and he's so particular about his work. Everything you look for in a body man.

[radrambler]

wayne

thats incredible!!
this kind of work takes major skill and dedication
keep the pics coming....
:thumbsup:
radrambler

[waynieZ]

Thanks I can't take credit for the work, only for finding one of the best fabricaters for the job. He amazes me. I wish my timing would have been different so I could have used a lot of the new parts he designed their so sweet. Have you ever checked out his site?

[Hulley]

Kick freakin Ass! :hail:

[speedfreak]

Wayne,

Your car is looking kick ass!!!

Mike does awesome work.

[bigtyme1]

You can't beet the way Mike builds a car!

[waynieZ]

bigtyme1 Your right a bout how Mike builds them . The best part is piece of mind that its being dome right the first time. You see so many guys having problems.
Wayne

[Aschle]

They do outstanding work, no doubt !!! Keep the updates coming !

Jason

[scherp69]

Wow. Wayne, that's going to be an awesome build. Any updates? It's been a while.

[waynieZ]

Mike's been sending pictures of my parts being preped but nothing new other than that. I did just buy a fuel log and regulator, and a an Electric Life power window kit with the factory looking switches. That was kind of a impulse buy. I didn't plan on buying them until later. I hope to get an update soon.
Wayne

[89 RS]

Looking good. Bet you are excited about the car getting more and more done.

[customcam]

very clean build :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Looking good wayne.:thumbsup:
Are you gonna show it @ the SUMMER NATIONALS when complete?
Id like to see it person.

[waynieZ]

Thank You 89RS and customcam I'm very excited its getting closer to being done, It will be a while yet.
tones2SS Thanks I will bring it to show but I,m not sure if I'm going to wait until it all done. I'm dieing to drive it as soon as its runningt, but something in my heart wants to wait until its done. I had to retire last year because of back and leg problems so the money came to a screaching hault. So it will take a little longer to finnish.

[tones2SS]

[Kendall Burleson]

Killer car man that great work you are going to love it .

[waynieZ]

Thanks Kendal I Have been looking at EFI for it . I'm hoping to find one that someone isn't going to use.

[eqt555]

WOW! I thought I took on a huge project, yours is insane! I kept the roof,firewall, and trunklid. And I kept wondering why I didnt just buy a Dynacorn shell. Nice pic with the fivedollar bill on the wheels, shows the depth well. Should be bad ass soon!

[waynieZ]

eqt555 Thanks guys

[CamaroPat]

Absolutely amazing build! I wish my budget allowed me to go that in depth on my car. That will be a top level machine when it's finished, the best skilled labor and the best parts combined to equal much more than the sum of their parts. I can't wait to see the finished product, or even just more progress. Be proud! :thumbsup:

[Steve1968LS2]

Very cool build and way to go on the bodywork, it's going to be way better than new.

[waynieZ]

Thank you guys. Its been quite a while but the finnished product will be worth it. I've been picking up some parts for the fuel system. I'm hoping to see the car soon. Thanks again for checking my project.

[waynieZ]

Steve I forgot to mention I got to see project Orange Krate when I was up at Compitetion Specialties to meet Tony and his wife when they were checking out Karma. I was hoping to get to hear Orange Krate run but I had to leave before they moved the cars back into the shop. The tail lights look good.

[tones2SS]

WaynieZ, glad to hear that the car is moving along. Any updated pics?
I was dying to hear Orange Krate as well. Pete says it sounds nice.
Maybe I'll hear it one of these days when I stop by again.
That is going to be one killer car as well.:thumbsup: The taillights did look really good.

[waynieZ]

Thamks Tony no update pictures yet, Those are some nice tail lights.

[waynieZ]

I have a small update. I recently picked up a Classic Fast EFI setup from a member on here. I'm not sure if it will make it on the engine right away, but I've got it when I need it.
I also have a picture of My Fab 9 all welded up . Its only one picture but progress is progress !

[jayb53guy]

I just read through all of this, pretty sweet! That thing is going to be sick!

[waynieZ]

Thanks I hope so .

[awr68]

Love to seeing the progress Wayne!! :cheers: :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Thanks Anthony

[Lenie]

Nice build Wayne, lotta work but man whatta ride it's gonna be:thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Thanks Lenie .. All those fireworks you hear today was how I felt when I got the brand New Fast XFI . It has the ECU and all the harnesses.
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w11/Hardcore454/BVNdtuwBmkKGrHgoH-CEEjlLly3cCBKRUdk.jpg

I have two intake setups one is a Victor E with setup for EFI. It has a Holley 1000 cfm TB with all the sensors. The other is the World Motown manifold set up for the Dominator that came with the engine. It would have to be setup for EFI. I also have a Fast 4500 series TB it flows up to 2000 cfms. I would really like to use the Motown and Fast TB But I was told I might loose low end drivability. Anyone who tunes these let me know if this is a bad idea and I should stick with the small TB my motor makes 610 hp. As always thanks .

[awr68]

Nice score Wayne! Need to resize the pic though for the full effect! :cheers:

[tones2SS]

Congrats Wayne. Good deal.
Good thing to good people!:cheers:

[waynieZ]

Thanks Guys Tony how was Summernationals? Anthony if you can resize it be my guest Thats the size of the picture that was on E Bay. I tried to resize it on Photobucket with no luck. I ',m not that good with computers . Besides I think this is one of my wifes from another life it never does what I tell it to. lol

Hey Wayne. How's it going?
The Summer Nats were ok. I went Friday and Saturday. A lot of the cars there are "stuck" in the 80's. They all have the "old school" Cragar wheels with big tires out back that stick out of the wheel wells. lol I think the only pro-tour car I've seen there was Morgan's '68 convertible Camaro. AND that was last year.
There were some really clean cars there as well though. I hung out with Ben Hermance and his buddy Mike (SSYNISTER), who is also on this site on both days. 2 great guys. You really didn't miss too much. Some great burnouts though.
Are you going to the Custom & Rods show?

[waynieZ]

I'm going to try to make it. Last year I got there late sunday. But I still saw some nice cars.

[04Prox2]

Hey Wayne. How's it going?

I take it you saw mine on Saturday than?;)

[tones2SS]

I take it you saw mine on Saturday than?;)

It doesn't look familiar. Was it on the hill opposite the burn out pad? I think me and Ben might have seen it?:cheers:

[04Prox2]

Nah it was in the courthouse parking lot, I was more of less making fun of my 80's look that you described:lol:

[jeff5347]

Hey guys just got back after being of the site for a bit. Looking to get my 68 running again after 2 years.
Fnquik, that is one good looking ride so far. it must also be one heck of an expensive build too.
Tones i was at the summer Nats and meet Ben a few years agao. His work is incredible. Yea ya know i told my wife you dont see any rides that are of Pro touring quality or of todays style. Lots of nice cars but was disappointed to not see any unique suspensions or engine builds. Crap loads of stangs though.

My wife said no one wants to bring there high dollar builds like on this site because of where it is held. May be true. Tons of mud this year.
FN keep up on the pics i bet it will turn out better than you will ever expect it to.

Your wife is right!!!! There was a lot of mud, because of the rains and the burn outs when they wet the tires/burn out pad.
Yeah, you NEVER see any pro-touring car around here at all. Morgan had his '68 por-tour Camaro last year and won some type of an award. RIGHTFULLY SO!!!:cheers:

[KSBRKTRACER]

Wow.......I thought I was doin alot of work.....looks like it will be a very nice car when done.......!

[waynieZ]

Yes it should be sweet , Mike does some awesome work. Seeing those pictures make me miss it even more. I would love to take it for a ride even in that condition it was a nice car.

[tones2SS]

I agree Wayne. They do some great work there. Can't wait to see the finished product. You must be really anxious. Do you know if there are any updates on it?:thumbsup:

[DOOM]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

update!!!!!

[GMracer]

agree! I want to see more!

[waynieZ]

Thanks for asking guys but nothing to report. Mike is finnishing Rich's car then he promised mine is next . He has it all mocked up . He has to remove the sheet metal and undercoat the inner body then weld up the sheet metal and set all the gaps . He's also making rear brackets to mount my Corvette Z51 brakes with the Corvette parking brake. Thats one of the things I'm sycked about the factory parking brake. I don't like the driveshaft parking brakes. He's also smoothing the firewall and painting it and the bottom with Sikens paint . I had asked him to move the wiper under the drivers fender I have to see if I have the money for that. I was worried about going for it in the winter but I don't care if its a blizzard when its done I'll put chains on my Tahoe. I need to get to work on it to get me out of this funk my mind has been in for a while.
I did order my Fast XFI Harness and duel sync distributor Friday . It should be here this Friday. At least I'll have some parts to play with.
I liked the pictures of when Rich put his sub frame and rear together and pretended to drive it . So I put my trans with the shifter on it and sat next to it. My wife beat me with the broom. Of coarse I WAS in the living room at the time. I figure it will be safe to back in the house in a few days .lol
Thanks again for asking it feels good to even just talk about it .... Wayne

He's also making rear brackets to mount my Corvette Z51 brakes with the Corvette parking brake. Thats one of the things I'm sycked about the factory parking brake. I don't like the driveshaft parking brakes. He's also smoothing the firewall and painting it and the bottom with Sikens paint . I had asked him to move the wiper under the drivers fender I have to see if I have the money for that. I was worried about going for it in the winter but I don't care if its a blizzard when its done I'll put chains on my Tahoe. I need to get to work on it to get me out of this funk my mind has been in for a while.
I did order my Fast XFI Harness and duel sync distributor Friday . It should be here this Friday. At least I'll have some parts to play with.
I liked the pictures of when Rich put his sub frame and rear together and pretended to drive it . So I put my trans with the shifter on it and sat next to it. My wife beat me with the broom. Of coarse I WAS in the living room at the time. I figure it will be safe to back in the house in a few days .lol
Thanks again for asking it feels good to even just talk about it .... Wayne

Very cool Wayne. I hope to see it in person when it is complete!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[68MaroSam]

Wayne, that is going to be a awesome car when done. I wouldn't suggest doing anymore setups in the house. As for your Z51 brakes. I am doing the same exact thing. I bought the whole brake assembly with parking parts also. I was going to work on that last weekend. Then my friend brough his 69 over and now I am doing floor pans on it.

[awr68]

It's good to hear that your car is next to be completed! It's been a long wait, but as you know it will be well worth it! No doubt it will be better than new!! Keep the chin up...it won't be too long now! :cheers:

[camaro2nv]

Im sure it will be worth the wait. They do awesome work. I look forward to more progress pics. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys I'm sycked to think about getting it back. I know the work will be excelent like all Mike's work. He's so particular when he does the gaps and fitment which is one of the most critical parts to a build. I'm glad he's doing mine.
Tony and Nick your on when I get it I'll let you know so we can get together.
Mario No time line yet but Thats a club I'll be happy to join.

[waynieZ]

Thanks Sam . Their aren't any updates on the body but I just got my main harness and dual sync distributor for my Fast XFI Friday. We'll atleast I can read the instructions . lol I would like to get the instalation CD they sell but $30 is a lot for a 30 cent piece of plastic sense funds are running lowwwww.

Very nice Wayne. You are going to have one nice piece there. When do you expect it home?:bow:

[waynieZ]

Mike is working on finnishing a car now that should be done very soon. Then he promised mine is next ! I haven't even seen it in over a year accept in pictures. He's 840 miles away. Last time I saw it I left from my brothers house in Florida but I can't win it was still over 500 miles from there.
I'm getting so anxious to have it here to get working on it. I'm like a big kid waiting for Christmas morning to come. And my wife will attest to the fact I'm like a big kid ! The waiting is so tuff. Wayne

Should be a killer car.:cheers: :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

When I get it back I'll give you a buzz. But it will be cold by then. I finally got to go to the cruize night at Patriot Place . Some real nice cars there . The weather was great low 80's sunny .I don't think the next one will be that nice, weather wise. I put on a lot of miles walking to checking them out. It was a good time.

Nothing yet. He's still doing Rich's car. It must be close to being done. Thanks for asking ! Wayne
Tony when I went to Patriot Place it was loaded with cars. Quite a few I hadn't seen before.

[DOOM]

Hi guys:_paranoid is ther somthing new.. is the car finished or??
I have soon wait for tree years know..on my car
Kjell

What are you trying to say Kjell:_paranoid

[waynieZ]

Don't feel bad Kjel Mine was suposed to be done June of the year you came here to talk Mike to do yours. He needed time to finnish one that summer.

[Vegas69]

Three years past due is ridiculous. I've been seeing more and more posts in regards to his tardiness. Sounds like he does good work but over promises and under delivers.:thmbsdwn: Hang in there buddy.

Sorry Guys,...
Im not trying to hurt your feelings Mike it was just a funny comment from my point of view.I do still believe in your work... :)

kjell

[tones2SS]

I do believe Mike's Custom Cars does good work. Sometimes things do not go as planned. I'm not taking sides here. Good luck to all!!:thumbsup:

[nvr2fst]

Wayne looks like things are moving forward. Hows the garage plan coming along.

[waynieZ]

Hi Dave The loan for the garage gets signed Dec third.
Todd it isn't 3 yrs it almost 2- 1/2 but I let Mike finnish another car the first summer.
I saw some parts from Rich's car they look like glass. He'll be excited to see them.
I've been picking up some more fuel system parts . All I need now is the hardlines and hoses and fittings, wihich is still quite a bit. I think I'm going to run 10 -AN feed line to the front and 6 -AN return hard lines with black teflon braided hose for connections.

That will look AWESOME Wayne. Good luck with everything.:thumbsup:
I would really like to see your car when done or even half way done. Mike's CC does great work. (I've been tossing the idea of getting the deluxe shell of the '69 Camaro that he sells. The one with the doors and hood and trunk lid. When I get re-hired and back on my feet, of course!!):thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Your all set then Tony. Mike has one forsale its got the extra wide tubs and his frame rails in it. I think they let you either 355's or 385's out back. With tires like that you can hook up with some big power.

[Vegas69]

Wayne, a 6 AN return is small. I'd match the feed line or better yet plumb it like Jody does. Return right at the tank. I'd just insulate the fuel line very well in high heat areas.

How's things going Wayne. Is it ready to head north yet? Just checking in. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!:thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Hi Chad Had a great christmas, my daughter has a foster child sence she was 4 days old. This is her first Christmas. Forgot how much fun it is with kids in the house, I think I ws the biggest kid there. She turned one Dec. 8th.
Nothing new on the car Mike got that Flu thats going around and was sick for a couple of weeks. So he still has to finnish up Rich's car ,then mine. Thanks for asking.
I hope you had a great Christmas and you have a Happy safe New Year.

[tones2SS]

Hey Wayne, I meant to ask you. Is Mike doing the complete car or are you doing some finishing stuff yourself?
I can't wait to see your car in person. Mike does GREAT work!!! Take care buddy.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Wayne, that is cool she has a foster child. My wife and I got state licensed last year and got our first two kids at once Nov 15th and they were awarded to their grand parents Dec 17th. We had a 6 mos baby girl and a 3 year old boy. It was a really neat experience. We totally loved it. They were extremely good and cute kids.
Hope your car gets going soon. I am sure you are collecting some really cool parts for it.

[waynieZ]

Tony when I get it back from MCC it will be a full roller, sub frame and rear end with G bar new and all finnished. My friends Buster and Spaceman (Steve ) will help me do the rest. I have most of what I need to finnish it. When I get the casah It will be painted by Jennings Garage here at home. He's had some show winners and cover cars, plus we've been friends for 35 years. Sh** thats a long time. I can't afford a new interior so I will start with the original for now unless I find a sugar mama! lol
Sam Were hoping she will get to stay here with us, she's been here for a year. Got me hoping she stays for sure.

[waynieZ]

Hi Guys its been a while sence my last update. I E mailed Mike he said the inner body has been under coated and is ready for him to weld on the sheet metal. He's going to try to get it ready for August if everything goes ok.
I made a sweet buy on E Bay today I bought a V.A. front runner for my motor. It was already a sweet deal and I used Bing.com (which is ending soon ) and got $92 back from them and $32 from E Bay cash. So that softened the blowon my wallet. I was watching it for a while but held back from buying it beacuse I still need a lot of other stuff. But it got the best of me. I always wanted one. I watched one go by on here and it killed me.
So thats the news the sports and the weather !

Good deal Wayne- Should look great on the engine!- Rich

[waynieZ]

My Front Runner got here today. Boy this thing is purdyyyy I have a new toy to play with for a while.The guy I bought this from, on E Bay is such a nice guy I had asked him if he would ship it for the selling price. Before he could answer me I pushed buy it now. So I agreed to pay the shipping. After I paid it he sent me an e mail saying he would send me a check for the $40 shipping. I already agreed to pay the shipping but he did it anyway. You won't run across too many people who would do that.

[prostreet69cama]

Wayne.

Looks like you will have a very nice car. Mike does awesome work.

How is the coating on the front runner pulleys. My buddy had a set a few years ago and it was coming off where the belt ran. He had his rechromed.

[waynieZ]

I talked to Mike he say he will try to have the body all welded up this week. I can't wait to see it.
Prostreet69cama
This set up was mounted on a display engine and never run so I'm not sure how well they will hold up. I hope they last.
I picked up a deal on AAW's website in the cleearance section. I bought a DSE Optima batery hold down for $120 its the polished one. They have the brushed one for $89. Its a pretty good deal. Any body who needs one should check it out.

[waynieZ]

Wayne... What rear setup are putting in the car?

[waynieZ]

Mario I have an Air Ride four link with coil overs and a Chassis Works Fab 9 with big Ford ends.

[DOOM]

Did Mike do the same Fab 9 as mine?

[waynieZ]

Mine is going to have the back brace and the brackets for the lower links welded on insted of the spring perch brackest. If I remeber thats the same way you went. My wheels are going to have a 5" back space what back space did you go with?

[68MaroSam]

That is awesome Wayne. I can't wait to see pics of the beast. :thumbsup:

Yep Mike set mine up for the Quadra link.. I will be setting the rear end in next week to start the offset measuring prosess. Getting ready as we speak to start welding up the tubs!!

[waynieZ]

I'll be watching for your updates.

[DOOM]

I did forget to ask you what color you were going with:question:

[waynieZ]

Mario, thats one of the hardest things to decide. I like the orange that Chris Festler put on the 65 Mustang fastback he did last year I think its a Lamborghini color. I also like the red on the C6 Corvette. But its a tuff decision.

[DOOM]

Mario, thats one of the hardest things to decide. I like the orange that Chris Festler put on the 65 Mustang fastback he did last year I think its a Lamborghini color. I also like the red on the C6 Corvette. But its a tuff decision.

Is Mike painting it ? That Vette red is perfect for that car.. The Lambo orange is a tri coat,big $$$$$$ color....:faint:

[waynieZ]

No I don't have enough to have Mike paint it. I wish I did. The C6 non metalic Red is leading the color choice. I'm leaning towards something easier to touch up beacuse I'm going to drive the car. Before it was taken apart I used to keep it drivable all winter. When ever the road was of clear of salt I would get it out and go for a ride. I'm hoping to do the same when its done.

[DOOM]

Great choice Wayne!! When your ready for paint you give me a call! I have to take care of my fellow MCC guys...:cheers: Do you have a shop picked out yet:question: If so ask if they use PPG..:lateral:

[waynieZ]

Mario Thank you . I do have a shop picked out Jenning's Garage its a friend of mine. We've been friends since I was 16. He does any accident and paint work for the family. I'm pretty sure he uses PPG but I'll check to be sure.

[68MaroSam]

It is so cool to see your car get to this stage. That red is a gorgeous color. This is an awesome car. It is almost there.

[DOOM]

Let me know when your ready!!!

[waynieZ]

Well it been quite a while sense my last update. This is a good one. I got some great news from Mike at MCC yesterday. The car is close to being done. He had told me he would take care of me for the extra time he took doing the car, but this is way more than I expected. The car was supposed to get the EDP stripped and epoxy primed and undercoated. I didn't have the money to have Mike prep it for paint. So He's going to prep it for paint for me to make up for the extra time he's had it. When I get it back it will only need blocking and paint and the body will be done. Plus he said were square on what I owed him. I can't beleive it. He contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I needed the trans tunnel raised for the T 56. I asked him how much it would be to do it because I saw that Rich ( 67ragtp) needed the extra room.. He said he would take care of it. This will help me out so much.

Mario has offered to help me out with the materials to paint the car, I don't know how to thank him. It feels like this is finnaly going to come together.

Here are some pictures of my parts.

[waynieZ]

Thanks guys. I'm "gitty like a school girl" hearing that from Mike. I always try ot be patient . All of your builds helped a lot. I've learned a lot and changed the way I had planned to do things because of posts you guys have made. I'll probably be looking for more info when I get it back home.
Rich; I'm leaning towards the C6 corvette solid Red with black stripes. I Think !
Thanks For all the kind words.
Wayne

[rixtrix1]

Guess the garage got ready just in the nick of time. Now you get to start havin a lot of fun, just a doorway away. I look forward to following the assembly. How good of Mike to take care of you. Bodes well for him, and his business. Thanks for sharing.

Just found your build, and went through all 22 pages, it's gonna be an awsome machine. I know of Jennings garage, he does top notch work, can't wait to see it at Sam's.....:D

[Leadfoot1]

...So i guess you can change your signature to something more like ;
''ITS SO GREAT!!!! Its AT MMC's!!!!''

Lol!!

Good for you W! Good things do come to those who wait!

Lead.

[waynieZ]

I guess that means Ed Mc Mann will come back from the dead with my $10,000,000 check. lol

[DOOM]

Am I missing something here Wayne? New shop??

[waynieZ]

Lead meant that it's getting close to being home.

Mario When my wife and I refinanced last year I took some extra money for a garage. It started smaller then it ended up, but like any good project it got out of hand and will end up being a nice place to work on the car.

Thats it for now.
I picked up an old bench top blast cabinet for $20 that needs a glass and some work. I'm going to play around with that when I finnish my honey do list in the house. I need to finnish buttoning up from the garage build. painting and some mouldings. The weather has gotten a little better in the temp dept. Gets the blood pumping.

I may have missed it in this long thread, but what I the plan for the paint? You are getting it back in primer, and I think I read that someone is donating the paint? What kind of paint? Do you have a shop lined up to paint it?

Car looks awesome!!!

Thanks everyone. I'm nipping at the bit here, we have had a couple of decent days and its making me very anxious. I was trying to find an enclosed trailer to go get it when its ready to come home, no luck. Looks like it will be a U Haul open trailer . I figure I'll put the cover on it and wrap it with the plastic they wrap boxes on a palet so it won't flap around.

Glen I have a shop here in the city. A friend of mine does excelent paint work. He's painted the Z28's I used to have. He uses PPG paint. The guy that is so generous to help me out is Mario ( DOOM ) He's helped others out with parts he gave them that they otherwise would have had to buy. I can't thank him enough.

Sam Thats an understatement!! I go to bed and before I know it I'm laying there with my eyes open thinking of things I need to do. lol

[waynieZ]

OK BOYS WE HAVE A PICKUP DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
