Those parts are just going to cause you a bunch of headaches...I can help though. I have a low mileage 1976 400 that you would be much happier with and I'll trade you straight up?

No?

Now get to work and get that luxury LeMans together, it is
my favorite car on here.

All the best on you build.

Gold would be cool. Not a cookie cutter color...but mine is purple so be careful with my opinion.

Save money and just paint the back because that is all most people are going to see anyway.

Travis said "paint? Who needs that! It don't make it any faster anyway!"

That's a hell of a dish in those slugs.
What's the static CR you're shooting for?

Cadillac had some very nice shades of Gold. I've been considering Gold to replace the pinkish sand brown(yuk) on my 84 GP. Perhaps some dark bronze for accent.

Cant wait to see what this monster does.

Hey Firechicken we havent seen you on the board in ages. Hows your 'bird doin?

Sorry for the delay in updates. Been a long road so far!! Car is at the chassis shop and what started as some "updates" turned into a "cut it all out and start over" hahaha.....it's for the best though. The car needed it very bad from years of abuse and bad choices hahaha.....

The project is moving forward constantly, and things are progressing. Here are some pics from the chassis shop today, 6.0 cert 25.2 chromoly, double frame rail, etc etc..... There is still a lot of bars to go in, and I'll have more pics next week hopefully.




Thanks to Dial Chassis in Seminole Oklahoma for the great work!!!!
