Hey Everyone-
I just introduced myself a couple days ago on the forum and wanted to show some pics and tell my plans for my 67. Currently the car already has:
Nicely Rebuilt 350 Engine
350 Turbo Transmission
12 Bold Posi Rear end
4 Barrel Holley Carb and and Edelbrock Intake.
The interior is Super Clean
It has a JL Amp and 10" sub with wit Custom Auto Sound Head and cd changer.
It also has a Hotchkis rear suspension.

The car was beautiful as is and got it for a good price... It's already a head turner, but want to give that extra something to make people go WHOA....

I hooked up with Jon at Driverz Inc, and he has helped me immensely with tech and upgrade info. The car is currently in paint. I'm having a Matte black finish put on the top starting at the pinstripe. I received some 19x10 and 18x8 Rushforth Rated X Wheels (I attached a couple pics). Jon also hooked me up with Speed Tech Upper and Lower control arms with QA1 coilover adjustable shocks. I also got some Fesler Billet hood hinges and some Modo Innovations Pedals from Driverz. When the funds allow, I'm going to replace the stock Discs with Baer Big Brakes all the way around. I'd also like to replace the steering wheel in the near future too...

Here is a link to the pictures:

I'm hoping to have everything done by the 7th for the John Force Holiday car show out here in SoCal... I'm pretty anxious as it's my first time showing a car. I'm pretty new to the classic cars and can't thank Jon and Driverz Inc for all of their help... Customer service is huge for me and he's definatley helped out. Anyways, here are the pics of the car before the paint job and I will post more as I continue with the project... I thought it was fitting to name it NightTrain as I'm going for a Dark, Fast look for it. Thanks for checking it out!

Looks like you definitely had a nice starting point. I am really digging the wheels you chose can't wait to see them mounted up. Did you get front or rear upper and lower control arms?

What's the name of the wheel and where did you get them?? LOVE them:thumbsup:

I got the front uppers and lowers. I will post pictures next week when I get them Installed.

Thanks for the compliment:). I really like the look of them too. The wheel is made by Rushforth Wheels and they are called the Rated-X. Here is a link to their site. http://www.rushforthwheels.com/ There are a ton of different options in sizes and finishes that you can get. I ordered them through Jon at Driverz Inc. He's the man when it comes to getting perfect fit wheels. PM me and I can get you his phone number. I'm sure he will help you out with any questions that you have.:thumbsup:

We should have nighttrain out of paint this Monday. Bumpers and all the trim are going to be gloss black too, should be a nice contrast to the matte black painted two tone! Sinister for sure....

There will be some chrome on the car but the stuff that is going to be black we will have powdercoated.

Very cool. I like the "sinister" look. Cant wait to see it completed, Keep us updated

Very interested in seeing the matte black with those wheels. Looks very nice so far.

how do you keep from snapping those wheels when you nail it?

guess some do not know how well and the craftsmanship in a Rushforth Wheel

Sure it can, just needs the proper prep. Ever see a car with painted bumpers?

any updates??? i need my car porn.... motiV8r has screwed me up for life!!!!!

Nothing yet... It got caught up in paint... I'm itching to get that thing back... We have a show in Orange County next week and a ton of work to do... I will post pics HOPEFULLY on Sunday. Can't wait to see the wheels on that car.

where in OC are you headed? didnt know there was a show next week.

Tim

It's the John Force Holiday Show in Yorba Linda on the 7th. I'll be heading out there with Jon from Driverz with his 55 and one of his other good customers. Pretty stoked cuz it's my first show. You can check out the details for it at www.socalcarculture.com. Thinking about going?

sounds good, i may just check it out. im just glad his shop didnt burn last week in the fire.

Tim

nice,how much drop is that?

The previous owner cut one coil out of the back and two coils in the front. The front was cut just a little to low because the wheel rubs when you turn at certain angles. I'm planning on replacing the front suspension so the front coils will be replaced and it will have adjustable QA1 shocks so the height can be adjusted. I'm also replacing the top and bottom control arms with a tubular Speed Tech suspension.

any updates??? i need my car porn.... motiV8r has screwed me up for life!!!!!

I finally got the car out of paint and posted some pictures for you all to check out... I think it turned out SicK!!! I get the wheels and tires tomorrow, and I started to install the control arms. I will post more pictures as I get the stuff done. Here's the link again.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were those wheels (each)..?

I love the look of Blacked out bumpers...What is considered to be proper prep for paint to adhere to chrome bumpers?

dave if you have to ask you don't want them hahaha i got a set also see my post here on whiplash
