SxExCx- no way! almost the same color too. post more pictures! and specs.

It would have been easy to sandblast it, but like anything else that would cost more money and I had to weld all the trim holes shut so sanding it was just simple.

LS would rip this car apart haha. I'm sitting between 3 options. 1.) ITB's with a solid engine build 2.) Full NA build with forged pistons 3.) turbo with 318i intake manifold. I really want to keep the m10.... need something bmw left in this car.....

It's a 1966 SS with a 327 out of a '69 Vette which was 375hp stock.
It has:
-Holley 750cfm carb
-Edelbrock Victor intake
-mild streetable cam
-Hooker headers
-350 trans

As you can see the engine bay is pretty bare. I deleted pretty much everything but the motor.
-no audio
-no heat
-no AC
-no power steering
-no luxuries at all

I just wanted the most simple setup since I only drive it during perfect weather.

Finally had a morning to work on her. Been very busy with school work and life.

Still just stripping paint. Pretty happy with the trunk now almost NO bondo! all the hours of sanding paid off. This is just can primer to keep all my work from rusting. The majority of it will be sanded off.
Bought this roll bar off ebay for 40$. I'm debating cutting the bars to the back off and extending them further so I can utilize them to make a new tower for the rear suspension.

Thanks it will only get better. The rear should be in about 15mm and the front 5-6mm so I can a lot lower.
