Well, I figured I'd continue this build thread in the build thread section, instead of the NewB intro forum. This is my 67 S-code, 4 speed coupe that I've owned for 10 years.
Or, at least that's how it looked back then. Roof paint badly faded, front valance munched, ugly (imo) torque thrust rims, and the cracked block 390 couldn't crack 14 seconds in the 1/4 mile, which is why I'm not wearing a helmet in this pic at Sac Raceway. Here's a more recent photo:
I am building this up as a "restomod". I already detailed the engine, trans, & rear end info in the NewB thread, so I won't bore you with that again. Here's what I did yesterday - all the parts came in for my console modifications, so I got out some hole saws, took a deep breath, and started cutting up my beautiful and expensive console to add power window switches, cupholders, and a line lock button. My Dad used to always say, "Measure twice, cut once", but I think I measured about 10 times before I started drilling. I put a hidden button in the ashtray to turn on the line lock system, so that if the console button gets accidentally pushed, it won't do anything (safety 1st!). I think it turned out pretty sweet.
