My First Car

[sixtnine]

Hey Guys.

My name is Vance. Thought I would post some pics of my first car that I have owned for nearly 21 years. Its a Z clone with a 406, TKO, and 12 bolt rear. Baer brakes and some front end pieces I bought from DSE. I have been watching this site for quite a while and really enjoy it, so I thought I would share my project. I have been known to talk a lot so I will be brief with my plans for this winter. A DSE mini tub and more than likely their new sub frame are going in the car. Also the floors and tunnel were SHOT along with a bad outer wheel house install before I bought the car years ago. I bought a Goodmark one piece floor to put in. As for wheels I have scratched my head for at least 2 months. I am definately going with a polished lip/ dark grey center. Any input from you guys would be great. Thanks for viewing.

Vance, what was your car before I see it has a BB heat set up, was it a BB car once before,

[sixtnine]

Steve, my car is originally frost green, dark green comfortweave interior with X44 trim tag. I switched the heater core to a big block core because I like the look plus it gets the heater hoses away from the valve cover.

Oh, by the way thanks for all the compliments guys! I have some dismantled pics of my car. Should I post here or on project updates?

[Steve68]

Cool, I have seen some SB cars with BB parts and the guys have no idea what they have,

I Noticed You Said Something About Different Wheels, Are You Going To Keep Or Get Rid Of The Torq Thrust Cl205's?

Love the car. Very clean and great colors. Take a look at the Forgeline wheels with either gun metal or black centers. I got mine from Frank at Prodigy and I love them.

I have sold the Americans to a friend. Also ordered Forgeline VR3P 18x10 fronts, 18x12 rear in gunmetal from Frank a few weeks ago. I was waiting til my wheels got here to give him props. Met Frank back in 96 at U.S. Camaro Club nats in Pigeon Forge. He is top notch in my opinion. Right now my car is in multiple large pieces. Hope I am drivin by April. When is your car gonna be finished Tracy?
