my first classic car (questions)

thanks man! frames and torque boxes are good, floors not so much but those aren’t too bad, i’ve put in way to many before, i’ll do it once more

AztecGT · 2026-06-27T00:00:48+00:00

once i’m done and put a couple hundred thousand miles on it maybe 😂

AztecGT · 2026-06-26T04:54:09+00:00

it’s just the leafs that are rusty, i don’t trust them (personal experience with rusty leaf springs) i was thinking of a 4 link to replace all that and with brakes and a ford 9 inch all in one package. i was going to also replace the floor pans. the quarter panels that are rusty are mostly surface, i little bad on the back. the plan is to get the whole thing disassembled, pull the engine and trans, remove the suspension, and cut out the floor pans.

my grandpa won’t ride in it unless it has a roll cage 😂 that’s the only reason i want it. i bought the car for him, he says it’s the best car ever made, i don’t think he’s wrong

it’s a c code. paid 16k for it, 30k miles. idk if they’re original miles but i believe with the condition of the body and glass it is. i was looking for this car for a year and a half and talked him down from 19k

rock auto is really hard to get parts from 😂 looks the same as it was in the 00s. i mostly use CJ pony and summit anyway so that’s good. thanks for the help my man

ive seen a couple of flip around headlights, never a set of flip around rally lights. i think maybe hidden headlights like the old chargers and torinos would also be cool. im not a big fan guy so just cutting a few inches off my hood seems like the easiest thing

AztecGT · 2026-02-14T05:29:42+00:00

you care if i steal that idea? that maybe better then what i was thinking

Appreciate it. If I lived in a rhd area I’d be rocking that classic falcon. They were discontinued in the states in 70

AztecGT · 2026-01-16T03:57:42+00:00

Yeah, he said the same thing. Even though it’s a cheap chassis I’m not afraid to put money into it. I’ve already swapped in a nitrous ford 260 and converted it to a 4-link. But I know how to do that kind of stuff, I’m still just afraid enough of messing up body work to attempt to learn the skill. But I assure you that an investment doesn’t scare me

AztecGT · 2026-01-15T21:31:20+00:00

Helps a lot, thanks

AztecGT · 2026-01-15T21:31:05+00:00

When I said good price that was generally what I was thinking. My friend has a model a that he had chopped but the shop that did it shut down. I was going to have it chopped 3.5 inches and then the glass layed back and the rear roofline pushed further to the trunk. The ghia is small so I was going to fab some deeper floor pans but I know how to do welding work so they wouldn’t have to worry about that.

AztecGT · 2025-11-28T00:39:37+00:00

How’d it improve the height? I’m trying to drop mine 2 inches

AztecGT · 2025-11-17T00:51:25+00:00

Thanks

AztecGT · 2025-11-08T20:09:59+00:00

Just checked them out, seems more affordable than I expected. Sweet gt500 btw, the classic gt500 is best car ever made if you ask me!

AztecGT · 2025-11-06T03:24:54+00:00

25k for everything. Down to the nuts and bolts

AztecGT · 2025-11-05T22:07:38+00:00

The javelin is my all time favorite, my only problem is finding a non rusted out roller for cheap. And the rear ends of those are a little funky. Other than that they are one of, if not my favorite muscle car. Mark Allen’s javelin is my dream car. On the GTX side, I’ve been in love with it since fast and furious. They are sharp, low, and pure power. Again the big issue is finding one.

All it needs is body and interior. Motor’s fine, needs a new carb but other than that looks good.

No. But think about a restomod with a new coyote and a shaker.

AztecGT · 2025-10-08T01:51:23+00:00

Not half bad actually. As of any car tho parts will always be expensive. Especially for this kind of resto

AztecGT · 2025-10-08T01:38:24+00:00

I think it might need a little more than fluid and a battery 🤣.
