Well guys here it is. My 67, 136 car. I finally got to get the first miles in on the car. Owned it for 3 year and only drove around the block a few times. Tonight was the first real payoff.
Doing it slightly pro touring style.
A quick list of specs are
Full ridetech coilover suspension.
Willwood brakes, 6 piston up front, 4 piston rear.
Chassis bracing for rear shock towers and lower control arms.
New 3" exhaust with x pipe and porter mufflers.
Stainless steel headers.
355 with LT1 heads, edelbrock intake, msd 6, fast ez efi. Engine was rebuilt in the 90s as well. Unknown cam. But seems to run well.
M21 4 speed
10 bolt 3.08 gears.
US mag rambler 18s, Firestone firehawk indy 500s
Autometer gauges.
Just a good basic hotrod. Runs good, pretty fast, it's loud and it handles and brakes well.

It was painted in a late 90s with a non gm red. Its a 25/30 footer. Someday I'll do a new motor, a tkx, and some paint. But overall it's good enough for now. Hoping to do an auto cross in mid August. Still getting a few bug sorted out right now.

Your car looks and sits great. I had my car 9 years before I was able to drive it so you are way ahead of schedule. 😁

Thanks all!

Looks great. If you are going to autocross you might want new seats! And maybe a harness. Find a deep bucket like this and you will be OK with lap belts: Procar Rally Lowback Seat | Procar by SCAT | Custom Seating Solutions

You can get them with headrests and different patterns. My buddy had these in his Camaro and they were comfortable for long trips too. I went a bit more mild and have their Elite with the Lumbar adjuster.

Lol, I am sure autocross will make me want a whole bunch of stuff!

I like it! Nice to see you getting to enjoy it.

Ain't it great when you finally get to take one of these cars out for the first time (or the first time after a long project)?

Sweet ride…nothing wrong with a 25 footer…..I love mine

My 67 is a 25-30 footer as well. Sometimes has its advantages out on a cruise and not being paranoid over another paint chip. Car looks great, enjoy !

Looks good. Nice stance.

I still have a little adjusting to bring up the rear end maybe 1/2 an inch or so. Maybe bring the front end down a bit.
Ordered a buffer, pads, compound, 1000,1500,2000,2500,3000, grit sandpaper and bunch of towels.
Have to see if I can actually make the paint shine a bit. Should be fun.

 

[Binford]

Made the front page! Woo hoo!. Ha.

Spent a couple hours buffing on the paint some. It's turning out halfway decent.

 

[Humberd]

Progress 👍

 

[Dan65ss]

Looks great! Drivers are the way to go. Drive, burnouts, rinse and repeat.

 

[Kopfjaeger]

Sweet!

 

[Binford]

Buffing the paint is sure bringing the shine. It's really probably becoming a 10 footer.
