BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

Honestly, I’m not a fan. I would’ve kept the Cobra. At least Gloves is happy.

Today after class I worked on the front and rear glass channels. They had 40 years worth of paint and window glue in them so it was quite a bitch, but in the end they had no rust and looks great. I have no school/work Wednesday so im gonna strip the rest of the roof and the sail panels ill put that in epoxy primer so seal the metal. Im gonna spray the glass channels with the pepper gray metallic used on the movie car and have the glass put in next week. Its not gonna be painted for a while, but putting the glass in will allow me to put the interior in, then I can put the windows up and not get the interior all dusty while doing body work.

Interior pieces are $$$

it wasnt too bad, for EVERYTHING, from carpet to door panels, seat covers, to dash trim, to sound insulation, to seat foam was $1800

Wastin no time huh? Nice work dood

Damn! That is cheap, for my impala I priced like $3000+ That was when I put the project on hold :lol

yea thats whats great about the classic stangs you can get anything for them(you can even buy brand new 67 fastback shells) and most of its reasonably priced.

I don’t know how I feel about a ‘replica’ car or what ever you call it, but this looks like its going to be an awesome build thread. Good pics and info so far.

A lot of vintage car people gripe about clones and stuff like that, In my opinion as long as they aren’t passed off as the real thing then who cares.

Fuck me I need a heated garage :frowning:

I was watching cable tv too:excited :lol
