I actually hope to improve on the tune some as well as rear suspension (which is already a 4 link) and go to some Optima Street Car Challenge events and have some fun.

Want to get her hooked on driving the car as much as me.
Not sure why, but it reminds me of the movie No Country for Old men because it's got a semi-creepy feel to it. In a good way I mean.

Those harsh shop lights make the color on it look a little off. The best representation I could find for it's real color is that rear shot. It's obviously a bright red but it has a real faint gold flake in the red as well that you only notice under sunlight and it makes that red pop like crazy. Then the silver stripes have a more prominent metallic in them but again, it's crazy brilliant in the sunlight.

It's a fun car; more of a 10 foot restore than anything. If you get really close you can start to see things here and there that make it not truly show quality but nobody ever really notices them unless I point them out. It's a quality restore and it has poly body mounts in there so I'm pretty sure it was a frame-off restore, though probably not a full rotisserie job.

Ultimately, it's nice enough that I'm not embarrassed taking it to local car shows but I know I won't win. It also has enough imperfections that I'll drive it whenever I feel so inclined without worrying about rubbing it with a diaper when I get home.
That is one fantastically restored car.

Cool rides. Mine won't have the cool factor of some of your older classics, but I just got a new (to me) joy ride of my own. Got a 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium about 2 weeks ago. Low miles. Enjoying it. First mods will be tires, wheels, and suspension to help the straight line traction a bit. I want to eventually up the power level, but trying to hook up what is there better first. I figure tires, shocks, and upper and lower control arms in the back should be a good start.

You guys are lucky, Mrs. Radar is the exact opposite.
Got her a hotrod toy ’57 Ford and when she drives it, which isn’t very often, she drives it like a grandma, burns the shit out of the clutch driving it everywhere 2nd. But her Jeep Liberty she drives like a maniac. Drives me crazy.

I have to have an automatic (700R4) in mine so the wife can drive it and when she does, she limp wrists the thing so badly that it legitimately makes the car angry. The shift points/shift kit are set for a little more aggressive driving and when she goes out there and soft shoes it, it makes those shifts even rougher than they already are. At this point I'm half tempted to just drop a Muncie rock crusher in it so she just won't even try any more.

Then I'll take over and she'll get all bitchy because I ran the tread off it. Woman!! It ain't a ****in' hybrid! It's a noisy, smelly, ill-handling, hard-starting rattle trap with fewer safety features than our daughter's Power Wheel. The only saving grace is that the designers were kind enough to make sure that the steering column actually pierces your chest in the event of an accident so you won't suffer or have to fully grasp that you just murdered a unicorn - it's the Chevy 'euthanasia' package that came standard on all late 60s era muscle cars.

It gets 8 MPG and needs premium fuel. It can't be taken out in the rain and even if you wanted to take it out in the snow it probably wouldn't start. I've spent more maintaining it this year than I've spent in the 4 years I've owned my Sedan and that thing has 80,000 miles on it. There is NOTHING sensible about this vehicle and I'm getting shit from you right now for breaking the back end loose?!?!?! Get the **** outta here with that...

it really also depends on their labor rate
Here's some photos:

Here's the full trunk view. I went at the right side because that's where almost all the rust was. Obviously it looks pretty awful because it's through that spatter paint and into the original red but if you look on the left there you can see that the pan itself wasn't really compromised, just a shitload of surface rust (though see at the top? Those two holes were painted over so this clearly isn't a new issue).

Spoiler!


Here's just a shot on the part I've hit with the wheel:

Spoiler!


Spoiler!

See, you can see another spot that they'd painted over with a some pitting on the track. There's obviously a little more rust I'll need to get of there but again, the vast majority of it is pretty sound, even at the worst spot.

Finally here's some of that scalloping that's under the paint I was talking about

Spoiler!


At some point water was getting in here worse/more often than it is now (the trunk seal is good; I think it's getting in at the glass or maybe even from underneath when I get spray up into those holes from the road). They painted it and covered it so I just had no idea. Structurally everything feels fine so I feel like if I can get the POR-15 patch kits and a new thing of spatter paint, I can clear the rust to stop the process, patch the floor to make it watertight back there again, put the POR down to prevent any additional rusting and then re-paint it and put in removable carpet panels to finish the look while also giving me the ability to monitor the floor pan going forward.

Ironically enough to me anyway, there are 2 things right now about the car that I get a kick out of personally.

It has a RFID key fob push button ignition.

It has 5 speed intermittent wipers which while may not be used much, this is a driver and who can live without intermittent wipers?

Fuel injection and 17" wheels to come soon.

I should add its a 5 speed with 4 wheel disk brakes already.
Which Fuel Injection kit?

I'll eventually put a C6 in her '57 but I've got my Jeep to work on so she's just going to have to wait or buy one for it herself.

Figured i'd share some pics with you guys since i always talk about it and never show you guys anything. Here's some progress pics of a few of the cars in the shop right now. They're kinda shitty pics, but the shop was all closed up and everything was jumbled inside, which made it hard to get decent pics. When i get time and cars aren't so crammed, i'll post more.

Just progress pics, so nothing super cool yet. None of these cars are the car that i made the "naming" thread about the other day.




^ '67 Mustang for the customer's wife. Basic resto job with some nice, user friendly upgrades. High end suspension, good brakes, 347 stroker. Nothing too fancy.

This one here is a 65-6 Coupe. Also a 5.0 Coyote motor....but this one is Twin Turbo'd. Not much to see on this one yet, the beauty of this car is underneath at moment. Would have to get in on a lift to give you something to look at.



The Turbos are mounted on each side of the trans, which is what you're seeing here.

Won't that drive air temps up and kill a lot of performance? (not an expert on turbo location, I just know how they work and like them bcuz MOAR BOOST!)
