Babyblue - Updates & Bath

[88Vic]

Looking good mang. I'd take off the door and bang it out with a sledgehammer so it's not inverted so much until you get a new door. Also I think it'd look even better if you blacked out the fake chrome under the tailights.

That's a good start, gonna look great when it's done.

That is banged out. All the dents are banged out, we even torched the metal. The "Chrome" will be painted like the rest of the trim. But right now I'm working close to 50 hours a week. getting a kawaski motorcycle. So the work on "Babyblue" are being held off. I am giving her to my fiancee. So right now it's getting it running good and safe.

Ok if the Bank don't Fail me. Babyblue will be parked, as I start driving a 01 Chevy S-10 (Don't Hate) it has a 4cyl, and has 180K on it. They are asking 2500 on it, and with gas prices I'd be a fool not to jump on it. While I'm switching my DD, I can begin the teardown of babyblues motor and decide if I'm going to go with a mustang motor, so I can easily just slap on a bolt on supercharger. Note This is going to take place over the next few years. Seeing asa how I don't see the point in speeding money on the supercharger anytime soon. First off is the bodywork, and making sure all the safety features, like the brakes and everything work good and ain't gonna break down b/c Babyblue will become my fiancee's car when she moves in with me.

This is the "smoothed" center piece with new tails... I'm going to sand the center piece down a little more and when I have the car repainted the center piece will be painted to match

2-3 Weeks

Alright, I put her back on the road She's driving like a beaut. I need to do some transmission work it seems to be lacking the acceleration she used to have. But in 2-3 weeks I'm headed out to E-ville to Glissons to get the passenger doors and passenger fender, while there I have to get a bumper and valance for my uncles 00 Ford Ranger.

I'm wanting to get a 4.6L from a mustang, will the grand marq tranny match up with the motor from a mustang? After that I'm going to get a Supercharger for it.

Now I will take some more pics. asap.

Oh and bad news I went to the demo's saturday night, and I seen a car that looked very familer. My stepmom's 86-87 LTD Crown Vic, it was destroyed... The good news is while it didn't get passed the 1st heat, it didn't have the turbine rims on it.

Change it up

Aight, I'm wanting to move my "aux backup lights" from the bumper. I'm wanting to place them in the center piece that I recently smoothed. I have 4 drawlings (mind you it's 6am and I can't draw) #1 is stock, 2 is two rectangle lights, 3 is four, and 4 is two round "euro" lights.

I'm leaning towards #3 at the moment just because I like the thought of it. I don't think round would look good, and I think #2 would leave too much space.

[88Vic]

I think a combo of #1 and #2, two wide and long backup lights would look good.

[The Famous Lee]

The stock takes up the majority of the space. I might go with the round ones... b/c my extra set of tail-lights I'm going to make them up to fit old impala tails in it.

I just got me a new GM pereformance parts, 2 ton jack, and 2 ton jack stands. For about $16 bucks each. Plus a new pioneer cd player I couldn't go without tunes now in a couple of weeks I'll do some work to the car. mainly body work or just the shocks

[The Famous Lee]

Could really use some help... I do believe I'm going to go with round ones

[The Famous Lee]

Aight I tinted the tail-lights, now no place around here sold that paint to smoke them so I just bought some 25% window tint and slapped it on. It was my first time doing tint and didn't get the applicator spray stuff so it immediately stuck but it's ok I'll fix it later on. It looks great though I'll add some pics soon

[The Famous Lee]

Aight got something different for you guys, tinted the tails and added a 24" thrush glasspack. Sounds great, and you can feel the difference.

[The Famous Lee]

Ok more plans, going to get a 2nd glasspack, and remove the Y-pipe, that would mean mounting the two glasspacks both built by Thrush will be mounted right after the Cats. I will thing mount a couple pipes behind both glasspacks so the fumes don't come into the cab.

Now while I'm not constantly working on Babyblue, I'm working on a 95 Chevy S-10 4x4 and a 89 Pontiac Firebird. The S-10 is just bodymounts, bellhousing, and 4x4 repair. The Firebird is a complete Resto-mod.

[88Vic]

Are you gonna get an H-pipe after the cats? From what I hear the 4.6 motors sound too raspy without a crossover if you have glasspacks.

[The Famous Lee]

I'm just mounting them after the cats if I don't get it sold. I'm putting her up for sale b/c my fiancee is fucking cheating on me
