The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

[RustyHornet]

I figure unless i find a sweet hook up on used parts or wheels itll be rollin around this time next year. This project is really just a practice of patience.

What you need? I’ve been selling off a bunch of my Poncho stuff....

 

[RustyHornet]

RH in the house....

Creepin.

 

[IndianaSoloMcfly]

With all the extra stuff and just life in general I have done NADA to my car. I may have lost the spark.

It comes... it goes... it'll be back

Yeah I think it will. Just a lot going on right now.

headers, exhaust a bucket seat , a radiator and rubber for 15" rallyes would certainly mark a good chunk off my list

Wish I was in a better position to offer up my exhaust system... are you looking for original style buckets or would aftermarket do?

Any seat really. Im just short one, i could honestly settle for a bench.. i can think of about 1000 things i need really.

Been really enjoying the beast this winter. Freshest pic I have as of a few weeks ago. Have about 400 miles on the 12 bolt and disc brakes now. WOW those brakes make a HUGE difference!! I finally made it over 70mph with the 4.11, 4000 rpm at 72! Have all the trans parts now to stick the Tremec TKO-600 in. Super excited about that!!!

Damn. I literally just sold the bench outta my car... If you want comfy and supportive, look at Summit Racing, I’ve got a set of ProCar Elites by Scat in mine, drove all the way to Florida and back in a weekend last year, never felt uncomfortable..

 

[IndianaSoloMcfly]

Eh all is well! Ill find one, if you decide to ditch any parts or whatever shoot me a message first i can probably use it. Missing most of the interior. Its a good time

I have zero spare interior parts, mostly just engine parts. Well, I will have a steering column at some point, non tilt floor shift. Just have to rebuild the tilt I have to go in mine.

Car looks BA btw. I love them things.

I have been looking at those for months, havent pulled the trigger.

The Bee has the absolute worst factory buckets, only go halfway up your back, no headrest. I would need to have them re-upholstered in factory material to look "original".

Creepin.

More like lurking in the shadows

You will not be disappointed. You’re more than welcome to have a seat in mine before you order.

She's got a good looking stance

Thank ya, sir. Dropped 2” all around. Sometimes I wish it was back at stock height with some more off road tires... I’m sure I’ll bag it someday so I can play in the dirt and then drop her down for the road racing.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Still haven’t ridden in the lemon....kinda disappointed....

 

[Super Bee]

Wow, those look great. I may just take you up on your offer.

I need to run down to Morry at Seat Cover Center and see what it would cost to get them re-upholstered. . and how long.
