I dont think the coil will like it there,to much vibration

I'm not sure how it will work out.
I've seen it on a few muscle cars so the worst I can do is try.

My battery came!! Next week, she'll be starting up

anyone know where to get the t connection of an el dizzy?

I just need the t shape connectors for my dizzy and to put it at tdc still. Once that's all done, I can just buy some battery wires and then she'll start up :) I need to figure out where my return lines on my carbs are though. All I have left to install for her to turn on is the wiring from starter ...

I would probably torch the strut bar, and bend it up a bit...

I've been thinking of that.
I'm just not sure what to do about the clearance :/

How low did you get out of that?
I've been thinking about cutting my tunnel and welding. I'm looking for a 3 inch or s drop.
I wanna be as low as my last 510

I know it has been done 1000 times but I want to lower my rear but I'm not sure how to without hitting th diff and etc.

I want 3 inches or so. I heard just with 2 inch you hit the dif?
I want to see what I can do without having to cut and weld the tunnel under the back seat.

pm'd.

I want some seats but don't know what...

I've been thhinking of some either old recaros or some racing seats...

Also, if anyone did a battery relocation to their trunk, let me know how you did it!

Here's some pics of updates.



SOME ONE SELL ME TWO HEADLIGHT RETAINERS

I have one of those harbor freight guns. Did you have any issues with it? I haven't used it yet. Was planning on using it for primer. I've got a SATA for color. It worked well for me! Unfortunately, I did have orange peel but it was pretty minimal. I had an hour or so today so me and my friend put ...

Wow.. it looks great! How did you spray it? Rattle can or do you have a gun? Just a harbor freight gun and air compressor. It went well in my opinion. At first I thought i had a lot of orange peel when it was wet but when it dried, it smoothed out pretty nicely. Thanks! When it's in the sun you can ...

I think it looks good. Make sure you've got enough coats on it :) I'm sure i did!! Well here's the finished product. just a few things left until the engine goes in! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e316/dat510mo/engine%20bay%20done_zpsakyesi4o.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e316/dat510mo ...

So i painted but it did not turn out too well for my first time so I'm gonna sand it tomorrow, do a bit more work and then reshoot it friday with the clear to perfect it all. On my old 510, it was my dream to paint the engine bay gun metal with a mint valve cover with the car being blue. It'll be a ...

perfect!
thank you

I'm not 100% of how it works and unfortunately, the few pics i found while doing research were crap and couldn't even depict it.

Anyone got any?

I just want to make sure I'm putting everything in the correct spots. lol

Some updates. I will be painting this week. I ordered a bunch of new things. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e316/dat510mo/prep%20engine%20bay_zps7dxpoqhf.jpg I do new some headlight rings to hold my head light in place if anyone's got some. I also need the water outlets on the oil filter side of ...

Finally updated this lol

Hey guys, So i was moving and a lot of things happened but now the car is finally back home. I ordered nos mounts and now I'm just gonna get more prep work done so I can paint my engine bay. Unfortunately, the car was in the rain with no head and just a plastic tarp over the engine bay and car cover ...
