Your Car - Page 2

400cu nice...have a friend that owns a 69 bird he put the 455 in, screams...
My Chevy truck is a hella've a setup, I replaced the old "three on the tree" w/ a 727 auto-torqueflight, the straight six with a "Canadian" 318 MOPAR engine, and added a turbocharger from a Buick grand national...besides a few kinks worked out great. Got a few scanned photo's.
So, what have you done to your 'bird so far?

Ok i'm new to the board, so this is a little late being posted, my daily driver is a 92 ext. cab pickup. My baby is a '69 Z/28 Camaro, that i'm currently working on. And her sister car '69 SS Camaro.

Ah dood, finnaly another muscle car owner on the site.


As you read I have a 68 Firebird with a 400. It is coming out of the bodyshop tomorrow with a fresh paint job.

Sorry wedawg that it took so long for me to respond to your question.

So far the engine is stock, mostly bodywork is what I have done to it. Maybee in 2 years I will be supercharging it. Look out vipers there's a real muscle car on the prowl!

lol...it's alright 68...
My '61 Chevy isn't stock, but its not a street racer either.
My real toy is my '67 Cuda. I have a 383 BB w/ a aluminum manifold dual four setup. I haven't done anything with the body yet, but have big plans...too bad I'm not wealthy..lol!

Well I got my car back from the bodyshop the other day.

Overall it isnt that bad , not quite what I was expecting (the color).

I am working on the interior right now and hope to be driving it in about 2 weeks now

Good deal '68, you got it back, but why did the color differ?

well the sample of the coor the shop gave me was on a white piece of paper, so it looked ALOT darker. And that is what I wanted. When the car was painted it wasnt even close to what I thought it was gonna be...

on a diffrent note, I broke the crankshaft on my S15 so it is toast! Now I have a 85 buick skyhawk.

Aww shit, that's kinda screwed up. You should get some digital pics so we can check it out.
Daily drivers, always have to be fixed, thats the trouble...I just got my 88 Thunderchicken back running, two bad fuel pumps in a row *arrggg*, freakin FORDS.

Hey now don't be knocking Fords....... I have one

and do you like it?

Is it reliable?

LOL, I bet not

No offense Kookie...lol
I have one too, but I also work on ALOT of them and they are generally crap.
The engineers come from a crackerjack box.

LOL

they are the pick of the bottom of the crackerjack box.

well make that a 2003 accent for my wife now.

and a 1985 buick skyhawk for myself.

How is the power in those Hyundai's?
I heared that if you turn on the A/C it "falls on its face".
