Could the LT1Stinger possibly have windows that roll ALL the way down? With the lowered roof line and smaller amount of glass required it should work out well. Has this been done before?

YEAH! I'm on top of page 12!!! This is so cool!

I believe that is the case, Choptop's windows do go all the way down (they don't leave that little 1/2" piece of glass showing). I recall Archie discussing that somewhere along the way...

if the hatch back were to be it could have 3 pieces of glass one big one in the middle and two on the sides like the 86 and nemer daytonas and laser kinda ugly but you never kinow what the arch man is up too keep the pics flowing arch!

Just one day to go.

It was a pretty busy day today. Because of the nature of what we got done, we didn't get too many pictures today.

We installed the balance of the body panels today and only need to install the decklid and hood. We also got some of the interior installed and completed all of the interior wiring and testing to make sure everything worked.

I originally purchased this car in 1991 & it hasn't moved under it's own power since then. It was a 4cyl. automatic car then with what was then high mileage (35K). Right after I bought it I removed the engine and sold it. After that I never got around to putting an engine in it until now. But, NOW it can be considered a "low mileage" car.

We also bled the Big Brakes and Clutch today & test drove it a short distance.

Tomorrow we complete the interior installation and a couple of exterior things and clean it up for the show.

Then I'll take a bunch of finished pics that I can show you tomorrow night.

I hope you like these..... & I hope you like the finished product that I'll be showing you Thursday morning.

Archie

Hmmmmm.. I noticed that you used a 1984 taillight wiring harness... The '84 models were the only ones to light up all 6 lights right??

(Maybe that is one of the 3 secret things?? lol)

Archie, I noticed that the sail panels aren't installed yet. Do you trim down the stock ones or will you make your own version? Just curious how you do it with a notchback.
BTW ~ The car is looking GREAT!

I've been wondering about that for a few weeks now.. I can only see cut down 86/88 GT's types in my mind..

Haze, yeah I guess all of the 6 bulbs light up, but I don't remember the corner lights in the bumper lighting up? I thought they were just reflectors in the formula late model coupe bumpers just like the aero bumpers. Are we seeing a reflection from a flash or were the lights added? Either way it's sweet!!! Good Luck getting it ready and for the show Archie! Can't wait to see it this year at the shows.

That's the panel under the trunk lid, and yeah, I think that's normal.

All 6 light up on my '85.

The bumper lenses look like flash reflection to me.

Hmmm...

Archie,

You basically answered my question about the wiring/computer system as being a product of Street and Performance.

Please tell us when you get a chance if you are using the 92-94 style electronics and ECM, or is it the 95-96 with the finned aluminum ECM. Also, can you please tell me if you are programming the ECM, or are you having S&P do it?

Finally, what brand/type scanner do you use to double check all of your readings on these things? Will you be running a mass air flow?

Sorry, I haven't had time to check PFF today... been working my butt off.

Posting these from the shop before I go home for the night. Car is almost done, just a couple of things to do in the morning.

This car is so cool, that even I'm impressed.

Archie

Tomorrow, when I post up ALL the pics of this car I hope none of you are dissappointed. I know that This is the best one I've done so far.

Well there you go guys.....no funky 2-piece decklid!

Looks nice.....I can't wait to find out what the 3 surprises really are.

BTW.....I'm glad there isn't a spoiler.....that would ruin the new lines this thing has (wouldn't look right).

Archie, you owe me one pair of FTL Jockey's or you can just throw in a 4-core rad for me if you like.
