Ok so to break it down i have owned this 1986 SS for some years now. I bought it and brought her home and immedietly started work on the body as the paint was ROUGH! Originally a burgandy car with factory stripes I sanded it down and went with primer grey. Next i added the current rims which a re 15x8 Pacers. Following that it had to have a cowl hood so I ordered the hood as an early birthday present to myself. After seeing the black hood i knew i wanted the whole ride black so into black primer she went. Next the motor was replaced with a 383 stroker and long tube headers and the custom side exit exhaust i have become a little famous for amoungst people that know me was added. Less then a year after during a routine tune up the engine let go. so out it came and the car sat for years in my dads garage. I lost interest and finally the spark was renewed one day. I decided to build a 350 for it and started with a salvage yard engine, totally went thru it with all new bearings and rings plus the engine shop did their thing with it. Also added a comp cam and lifter package with new push rods. All the while this was being built i opted to black out the interior. Yes I went the cheap way with spray interior dye but it looks ok for now. once its on the road i will install all new interior that is made in black so it will look better. Currently still have a few minor things to finish before starting the engine for the first time but now too far away now! Here are some pics as it has progressed.

 

Wow you've come a long way with your car. It looks nice, I like the exhaust coming out before the tires like that. When it's all done you will have a ride you can be very proud of.

 

You have a nice ride in the process. Cant wait to see a finish product.

 

Thanks guys, its definitely been a labor of love!
