Re: Project Junkyard Dog
My wife thinks she can fix the seat cover, and I'll cut the foam from the 4dr seat to suit my driver's bottom cushion and firm it up, and I'll use the rear bottom I just got, and should be ok. But thanks for the heads up!

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Seat is fixed, but that's all I've done thus far. I did score a set of 15x7 centerlines for $80 though. I also weeded my mess out, except for enough pieces to build another 3.8 turbo longblock and 2 Metric 200s. Made a little cash, and a LOT of room!

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Does anyone have some old Nitro Joe stats, to see if anyone has ever run this combo before, and if so, how fast they got?

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Thanks Mark. I was curious.
I should add to this project, that not only am I doing it on a budget, except for the small shop attached to my house (which is only big enough to do engine and trans work inside), the rest of this car is being built in a carport, in Montana. Mother Nature decided my weekend should be spent indoors, 35mph winds and rain/snow are no fun to work in. So, if I can make this happen with no shop and this budget, ANYONE can! |

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Not much to report, except I came a across an MSD 6-BTM and 2-step off craigslist for $160, and since this thing can shift itself, I sold my ratchet shifter for $100. It's still snowing, so I am at a mild standstill.

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
I don't see where you mentioned the transmission. Did I miss it?

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Billy Nees - Thanks for the heads up on the front seat rule, you can't use a bench from a 4 door sedan. Tha's what i was looking to do with my 65 impala. Oh well, might as well use the buckets or find a split 2 door seats.
