She is up on jack stands now.  motor and tranny are out.  Going to freshen them up and put her back together in time for spring.

UPDATE 11-21-08

Pretty much updated the interior.  I will change the red stripes to gray soon.  I had the upper door panels and rear seat covered again this time matching same material as the OEM front seats.  Also another shot of the 3 point rear seatbelt for my daughter.

 Scroll to the bottom and compare stock to the first revision to the final product!

 

Let me know what you think!

Page 3 shows some of my old G body cars.

Page 1 shows the contrast between the original car and the final product. ENJOY....

Here are a few new shots.

The paint is so deep and glossy those tree reflections are from a tree on the other side of the street.

Poor quality pics but had to show off my little girl helping me detail the car today.(5-2-2006)

Brakes

The front brakes use pieces from a C-5 Vette. The rotors are 13 inches and have twin piston PBR calipers.

I just installed my rear disc brakes today(1/10/06). They are from a 1998-2002 F body. They have 12 inch rotors and PBR calipers. Basically they are just like the enty kit from Baer Brakes!


I decided to mount the calipers at the 9 o'clock position to clear the frame and make it easier to mount the ebrake cables. I had to make a little relocation plate to move the bottom mount of the shock inwards about one inch. I need to polish the calipers so they look new and clean up the 7.5 rear. I did install new bearings and seals while I had the axles out. I have detailed the rear end now, installed new Edelbrock adjustable UCAs andnow the Ebrake cables are attached.

Interior

These are seats from a 2002 Monte Carlo, console from a 98-02 F body, Cutlass 442 upper door panels and my homemade stereo delete option. (JK I am in the market now for some tunes.)

Page 2 is huge with several pictures spanning the buildup process along with text describing many of the phases. There are several pictures of the front brake swap there also.

 10-6-2008 UPDATE

 

 

I have added a rear 3 point seatbelt.  Grade 8 bolts and a small cut of the rear package shelf.  I will add finished pics soon.
