Hey guys, was just checking to see if anybody was close enough that I could meet up and learn some things and see it actually done on a car.... Anyway, here's some basic plans for me at this point... It is going to be a street/Pro touring setup. The car right now is stripped down to bare shell and subframe is completely disassembed. I plan on having the shell dipped to strip it off clean (alkaline dip, a place in Toledo, OH does it). Suspension upgrade plans at this point is new Bilstein or KYB shocks all around, 1 1/2" drop in the rear, 2" drop in front, Hotchkis 1 1/8" sway bar, and Poly bushings all the way around. Going to put in a tight steering box (around a 2.5 lock to lock). Have a Wilwood Dynalite 4 pistons front disc kit already, will be putting discs in the rear as well. Would like to go with 18" x 8" wheels up front and 18" x 9.5" wheels in back if I can get away with it. Want to keep stock rear fender wells. Motor will likely be a SB like a 383 or similar (might just try doing a LS1???). Undecided on transmission at this point... possibly 4 speed Manual or may just stick with an Auto. Other than the normal body work and paint that's about the most of it except for upgraded seats and instrumentation.
Markus, I'm in Angola, IN (very NE corner)
Thanks
