yee haw project brown eye lol

good job rago brown eye is looking decent still not ready to race against me though ha ha ha

Woot woot! Look for progress pics in the seriously near future! I had a small stump in the road recently, but as soon as my next check comes in I got everything back in order.

Well, let me go ahead & spill my guts on a few things that are happening at the moment. 350 swap, larger front sway bar, altitude adjustment (not saying which direction though, lol), drag bags, lightened bumpers, tucked front bumper, polishing wheels, 90/10 shocks up front & undecided out back. I'm buying some tails off of Juiced when I get paid, & I am debating on dropping in some Eclipse buckets with my B&M shifter. I'm gonna also check around for some boxed lower control arms, rear sway bar, & 3.42 gears. LOL it sounds like a lot, but I got tomorrow & Tuesday off. If the weather permits, a lot of this will be checked off my list by Wednesday.

74442guy, I might not be able to beat you yet, but I think a 150 shot could even things up a little..... maybe.

we bought some tubular rear control arms off, they were nice. has solid brass bushings and sway bar mounts. i think i have em posted in the suspension or links somewhere. I think they were less than $100 bucks

We drilled and tapped the bushings for grease certs too.

Thought you was coming down today?

Realized it was Valentine's Day. I've spent most of the day going through a couple of bottles of champagne with the wife. You available tomorrow or Tuesday? Let me know & I can come down either day.

For know though, I got some business to attend to.

yea im always avalible

So I was moving Brown Eye around the shop & crunched the driver side door today. $%$##!!&*!!! $$%#$@!!! Looks like she's due for a color change sooner than planned. Hmmm..... Project "Black Eye"? Sure is starting to feel that way.

Hey! You saw that dark brown Malibu I had-I was pulling for the BROWN!!

Black? Really? Really? C'mon mane. ZZZZZZZZ

PS-sucks about the door.

Well black primer for now at least. I'm up in the air on colors though.

I've been tossing around 1970 Shadow Gray but maybe add a little pearl


or maybe Sunburst Orange. (Don't mind the ugly car, lol)


Here's what she will probably look like next time I post pics though:

Go with Shadow Gray! That is SHARP!

But of course...I'm a bit partial to 70 Chevelles...lol.

I think you should stay with the brown eye color but make it more modern style paint

If you stay with a brown color, Furd had a nice shade on year 2000 or so Taurus.

Otherwise, I vote for the Sunburst Orange. It's different.

LOL, artist's rendering.....



If I do Gray, it will get the 73 base stripes either in black or white. I'm just not in the mood to try & draw them into the picture. If I go Orange, I haven't decided on hood stripes or just solid. Also note that the interior is black with blue accents & there's still tan parts that need changed. Not my choice, but done by the previous owner.

I am pretty bummed about the door, but it doesn't look like there is gonna be a crease. Well at least I can hope not. The passenger side had some minor scratches & the paint wasn't perfect in the first place, but this was the nail in the coffin.

do you have a GREEN car in your stable now ?? LMAO

I AM A VERY FIRM BELIEVER IN THAT CURSE NOW

As a matter of fact........



^^^ I don't have any pics of it yet, but Dan has a few of them on the project thread. One green 73 Malibu now with a blue SS fender, LMAO!
