one thing to think about is a custom sub box. they are easy to make and look better than just a box in the trunk. a quick visit to home depot will have everything to do it. wood, sheet of fiberglass, resin. some people use fleece instead of fiberglass. i pm'd you some pics

As for the wheels keep the 03Cobras on it, looks sick. As for the ride height once you start driving it it will settle down probally another half inch so you may want to bring it up a little to allow for that.
The lower 1/4 is fixable probally so no need to replace it and you could probally get a body shop to knock it out for you for cheap if it really bothers you in the future. I thought you already got the heads back and were selling them?

it is NOT fixable. it is bondo from the first time the car had a blowout. thats what i love about coilovers though,i can change the stance in 10 mins all the way around! the heads are still over there, they are putting them back together finally. soo, maybe in the next week or so i will get them back. IM STILL PISSED OFF

the job shouldve took 1 month tops. this is rediculous.

well i broke down and bought some TFS TWs and Comp Gold roller rockers. i couldnt wait any longer...

also i got bored and painted my block red...

and a few random pics of the car sitting low, as well as my new truck i got today!!!

1bad67sbf · Jan 23, 2011

i have an 84 f150 (they are great) what year is that?

slow90coupe · Jan 23, 2011

1978 with a 302... my grandpa bought it new. he bought a new one last week and didnt have a place to keep it. he also couldnt push down the brake pedal on this one anymore, so i bought it from him! i love it!

1bad67sbf · Jan 23, 2011

looks like its in great shape. 4x4?

slow90coupe · Jan 23, 2011

nope just a little 2wd... i plan on lowering it a few inches, putting some flows on it, and getting some adapters so i can put the Greg Welds on it. then.. it would be a fun cruiser!

1bad67sbf · Jan 23, 2011

that pic i sent of the speaker box in the truck was in my 84 with some 2000 something dodge seats. i wanted my brother to put some fat tires on the rear of his 81 2wd but he sold it before he did much to it.

You know it would be alot easier to drive it out of the garage with the motor then push it out without the motor... HINT,HINT

indeed
maybe this weekend... or for sure by next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am close. i am ordering all new sensors tomorrow because of some problems i was having before i tore it apart.

slow90coupe · Jan 30, 2011

well, i got my heads yesterday. i cleaned them up a little bit today and got bored, so i mocked everything up... the motor will be going in this weekend if everything goes as planned... startup vids with open longtubes to follow

i put in a new ignition switch and a new cluster bezel today too.

and a few pics of both of my rides...

slow90coupe · Feb 5, 2011

well... we got the motor assembled. the only problem we ran into is that the stock valve covers wouldnt clear the Comp RR's. so tomorrow i am getting some ford Racing tall VCs. the motor is almost all the way in now, and, if things go right, it will fire up tomorrow. theres not TOO much work left to do at this point. just a lot of time consuming things left. well, heres the pics i took over the past 2 days...

im dumpin it!

Icecold · Feb 5, 2011

Again your progress is outstanding. Looks great!

One of the cleanest and nicest builds I've seen!! I bet it will sound great with the BBK long tubes and dumps.

Can't wait to see the start up clips!

RAYZEN CAINE · Feb 6, 2011

Is she runnin' yet?

1bad67sbf · Feb 6, 2011

Boosted92LX · Feb 6, 2011

Boy, that engine sure looks good in the car! I'll bet you're so excited to hear it run you can't STAND IT! Congrats young man! Let's see some tire smoke pics, next!

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?
