Hey fellows,
Great Site!
I’ve been lurking for a little while now so I decided I should introduce myself and say hello.
I have always been into restoring GM Muscle cars, but usually to factory correct specs.
This time I’ve decided to go a different route and am planning to do a resto-mod with some suspension goodies and this site looks like a great place to learn the ropes.
I will definitely have my work cut out for me as the platform that I’m using is a ’68 Pontiac Tempest Wagon. Don't laugh, I think it can be done :lol: can't it? :eek:
I don’t have the budget to build a full tilt car like the beauties you guys have on this site, but I’m hoping to build a fairly nice sled. Power will be a healthy 454 BBC through a Beefy 700R4 and 12 bolt 3.73 posi rear. That’s pretty much the extent of the pieces I have thus far, so the suspension and brakes options are still wide open for now.
I’m sure I will have tons of questions as I get goin. Hope you guys will bear with me.
If it turns out decent, I’ll probably go the same route with my basket case ’70 Chevelle.
