JakeMetz63 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Swap a turbo 3.1 or L67 in there. Your car does look nice.
rockfangd Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 very nice. i really like the dogbone mounts.
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 And to think you wanted to sell it....
Addicted To Boost Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Nice. Swap a turbo 3.1 or L67 in there. Your car does look nice. I disagree- people NEED to stop wrecking and chopping up TGP's.
97loudcut Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks guys.. no engine swaps for awhile though!
JakeMetz63 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 As much as I like TGPs, that 97 cutty is a much better looking car in my book.
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Nice. Swap a turbo 3.1 or L67 in there. Your car does look nice. I disagree- people NEED to stop wrecking and chopping up TGP's. it's not like the chopped up TGP's have a better fate..
97loudcut Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Mine as well preserve the engine atleast.

kuntzie Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Yep. I'd butcher a rough TGP for the engine. ive done it a few times
ZoomZoomFan Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Budweiser is the official beer of Nascar, 077s are the official wheels of W-bodies. JK man, your car looks freaking badass. I've always liked it.
ihateallmustangs Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Add dual outlet bumper and exhaust to that list. These things look horrible with single outlet bumper.
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 there isn't even a picture of the exhaust...but hey I think single exhaust looks just fine
terryk2003 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 hey now...those door sills are by Awebb @ Terry...he made the sills, but the decals were all my idea!... anywayz...looks like she's coming along quite nicely...can't wait to see it lowered with the wheels on in the spring!
black_97_ls Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Car looks good, projects look good. Can't wait to see it all finished.
97loudcut Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Car goes into the shop today to get the Eibach's and KYB's on in front. Shop quoted me @ $200 for it all. I think that is a fair price. Pictures ASAP.. probably tomorow.
FordBoy Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Looks great must be nice to have money for all of that. Here in hicktown usa i dont see much. Cant wait to see the finished product.

I think that is a fair price. Pictures ASAP.. probably tomorow. 200 for just the front? not too bad i guess, but are you doing the rear yourself, or what?
97loudcut Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 Installed.. I am very happy! Not to much drop, it sits perfect. Deffintly feels alot better up front though. Yes, I will be doing the rears myself. Matt, you might want to look into all the work in doing your front springs yourself. Its quoted at like 2-3 labor hours. Your going to need a ball joint removal tool, pickle fork for the tie rods, and a spring compressor for the springs. So yes, $200 is fair.
jeremy Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Installed.. I am very happy! Not to much drop, it sits perfect. Deffintly feels alot better up front though. they should settle a little lower too....
kuntzie Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Your going to need a ball joint removal tool, pickle fork for the tie rods i never once used any tools like that on my car 4" c clamp for the tierod 5' iron bar for the ball joints... and that way you dont tear the ball joint rubber. and yes ive done that about 30 times or so in the past year (not the tierods so much ,... maybe like 7 or 8 times for those)
