project 79

[SlowJoe]

well my wifes oldest boy is 13 and wants to start learning about cars and wants to build him one for when he gets old enough. i picked this 79 up from waypastcrazy today. i dont really know what running gear we are going with yet. i think we are going to focus on the body and paint right now. besides this will be a 2 year project. here is a few pics.

i got smoked tail lights and a 8.8 to. should we paint under the hood same color as car? and i do not know about 85-86 nose on it?

[waypastcrazy]

I personally like it when underhood is same color. U should put a big block in it I have block crank rods pistons rings heads and gaskets. And an xtra solid roller 285@50 721 lift cam for it. Lmao!

[jonosranger]

it will look mean as hell! But i got to get that vibration out of motor!

[jonosranger]

The heads are off the motor due to leakin valves!

[swammi]

just got the car and have a 30 over 351 efi sn92 paxton supercharger in mind for this thing what do you think?

[SlowJoe]

Still going to be slow! Lol

just got the car and have a 30 over 351 efi sn92 paxton supercharger in mind for this thing what do you think?
The 351W is a good plan.
The "SN92" Paxton is not. :( (very old technology)

edit: What did you do with the 17" wheels that you took off of it?

[Dale McPeters]

I agree with Matt the SN92-Paxton is not a good idea...
You would be better off with a newer style Paxton or Vortech.
Such as a 1220 with Si impeller or a Vortech V2-Si real street kit or even a V1-S trim. They won't cause as much IAT heating issues as the older paxton design and the impeller speed limits will be a lot better on a newer unit. :D

[SlowJoe]

I got the wheels u need them?

[tayzoid1]

what size, backspace, and tire size on the rear? ive got the same wheels and needing to go biggger. how much did you have to demolish in the fenders?

[tayzoid1]

and btw what every happend to that cowl hood?

[coupe]

I got the wheels u need them?Well... I always liked them, but not really enough to buy them. In a nutshell: If you're giving them away, yes. If not, no. :D

[SlowJoe]

I will take a 1000 and you pick them up. Yall do know this car has changed hands again. Dont think it has the greg welds on it anymore.
