Holy crap...flat black...my only weakness...can't stop drooling...

I'd call it the "Stealth Bomber"

 

haha yeah. stealth bomber sounds fast, and this car may be quick compared to the 4Runner, but anything else on the road... nope! it needs heads and cam. possibly gears and a 5 speed.

 

That looks awesome. Good job!

That's funny about the Batmobile comment. My brother used to have a Trans-Am WS-6 that was all black, dark tint windows, etc. His license plate read BATMBLE

 

Had to pull that pic over to this page,.... cuz it's WORTHY! hahaha. Looks great! Not for good, RIGHT? You did say 'Bullet' green, right? Or was it that lighter one from 67-68? Looking at this, I'm guessing the darker one, lol.

Yeah, batmobile, .... BUT, Stealth Bomber is closer.... YET, .... MAD MAX should be it's name, no? hahaha.

Coming along quick, Michael.... Nice work on all the prep!

 

I think it looks like the GTO from the movie The Punisher



Yeah the prep was the longest. I dont know how people do it, my hands still feel tingly. In perspective, You know how the state fair has those vibrating foot massagers? I feel like I was on one of those for wayyy too long and the feeling is stuck in my hands.

I spent about 7 1/2 hours sanding and learned a lot about the car at that point. Theres NO bondo on this car what so ever. 100% steel. The original car is Dark moss green. The Fenders, and passenger door are original. The Driver door is a lime green color ( unfortunately i dont have my original window tag, but there's a company that runs the vin and can send you a remade one for $200 bucks ) The trunk lid is not original ( calapyso blue ) and the front and rear valance are reproductions as well. The driver door does have a small pinsize rust holes that I sanded down and filled, but thats the only rust I found.

My passenger mirror is also a FOMOCO mirror! ( kind of an uncommon option on classics ) But yeah. I also cut the tail pipes off because they were ugly. As far as exhaust goes, I'll be doing Quick time performance exhaust cut outs, a magnaflow X pipe, Spintech 6000 pro streets, and a tail pipe that dumps right inbetween the gas tank and leaf springs on both sides. Should sound pretty good. But for now, I need to focus on the shock tower being fixed. then I can do suspension exhaust and put the hood on.

 

I had to bypass my heater core yesterday due to it leaking on the interior side of the firewall. Kinda lame because it ruined my brand new old chico sierra nevada sweatshirt I literally had just bought :/ Oh well. Super easy to do, simply connect the water pump and the intake manifold and call it good! everything works great and no leaks anymore.

I installed some of my goodyear hi miler hoses. I need a passenger/passenger inlet/outlet radaitor to use my lower hose. I plan on upgrading it eventually anyway. so we'll see.

 

Just ordered my mufflers and X pipe for the stang. Also picked up some QTP exhaust cutouts off craigslist for 60 bucks as a pair.

 

Wow, lot going on... And yeah, it looks really good. Glad to hear it's not a rot-bucket! GREAT news actually Can't wait for that Green paint and black rims/black trim(???) Gonna be sick..............er! haha.

Exhaust sounds BA! And will sound BA as well, I'm sure.

 

Im gonna keep the chrome trim when the car gets painted dark green. The black wheels will add a nice touch either way.

Yeah my mufflers and X pipe shipped out already. I love summitracing!

 

No updates for a Monday? Man I thought I had something to look forward to today!

 

I partied all this weekend :/ typical 22 year old thing to do. hahaha

but I did get my X pipe which i found on my doorstep sunday, probably been sitting there since friday since I wasn't home all weekend.

my mufflers get here on wednesday. I'll have the exhaust done over the weekend most likely

 

Nice! That's pretty quick shipping!

 

Summit racing has by far the best shipping system to northern california. Especially if your in the rocklin/roseville/granite bay area. They ship just out of sparks, nevada. No matter how big the order, you can pretty much expect it next day if you order it on a weekday. ( small stuff ships on saturday sometimes, but not always )

 

Got the exhaust done on the Mustang. my god its a monster now.

 

VIDEO, C'MONNNNNNNNNN! lol.

 

Working on it! Its dark out lol

 

Hahaha.. OH man, sorry... I just meant, ..."I would LOVE to see and hear this thing now"... as in, 'asap', not NOW, now, lol. I hear ya... gonna be a nice one to stop back in and listen to/take a peep at!

 

Sweet can't wait to hear it!

I'm confusing your 4-Runner thread with this one now. I just checked in here and was confused looking for the post about the heap you found at Hayes... Must be getting old...

 

Haha yeah my plans today are to make a video of it. Good thing I have a tach installed that way i can do fly bys and 1-4.5k revs legitimately.

Yeah I found a nice 98 4Runner on craigslist. 5 speed, v6, 210k miles, silver, and pretty clean. but its in san mateo and I dont know when I can go down there :/

 

Better hurry or you'll be paying $2,000 more for it at Hayes in a couple days!!
