Project "Old School" has begun

[Sonic03snake]

Well, we took advantage of the nice weather this past weekend to finish gutting the old mans 80 coupe in preparation for its trip to Team Z in the next month or so. All the sound deadner and seam sealer scraped and removed, funky old fuel system gone, and all rodent houses destroyed. This car has been sitting for over 10 years, now it will be reserected into a nice little street n strip car with a 32V carbureted 4.6 cobra motor. setup. We only found 2 very small holes in the floor pans, the rest is light surface rust. Not bad for a car that has sat in a field for the last 10 years.

I think that's a steering wheel from a 78 Bronco.....it's worth a few bucks in good shape.


Looks like a lot of work....good luck and keep everyone updated.

Thats a factory wheel in there. They used them in several other applications too.

[White5.0]

Looks like someone went a little haywire with the engine bay painting!!!

Team Z does unbelievable work and this car should turn out really good with a chassis shop like that doing the foundation!

That will be very nice! What are the plans for the tranny and rear?

[Sonic03snake]

8.8 rear, either a C-4 or TH-350.
