99blazer · 04-05-2010, 08:59 PM

Thats what a first car should be.

JDMTyler3326 · 04-05-2010, 09:03 PM

NICE I had a 66, love it.

Scapegoat · 04-05-2010, 10:52 PM

needs wider rear tires and rake

motorvated · 04-05-2010, 10:53 PM

I agree Scape..deff needs some bigger meats out back.

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 07:40 AM

haha thanks guys, an yea I'm going to get some bigger tires sooner or later but I'm going to focus more on performance for now.

HickRocket1258 · 04-06-2010, 08:51 AM

What motor you have in there? And it doesn't need bigger tires in the rear if it isn't putting out the numbers.

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 08:52 AM

It just has a stock 305 sbc.

DriftCrash · 04-06-2010, 10:41 AM

Wow that thing is clean, I had a 79 impala wagon and that thing was so beat it wasn't funny.

I think it would look nice with a set of wire wheels and dropped, but then again I'm biased toward lowriders lol

lownslow95 · 04-06-2010, 10:48 AM

Looks clean. What engine are you going to put into it?

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 02:13 PM

I'm going to leave the stock 305 in it for now an put a cam in it, but then I might swap it out for a 350 sbc.

c0nfl1kt · 04-06-2010, 02:21 PM

Needs a big block IMO

lownslow95 · 04-06-2010, 02:23 PM

Yes. 8 MPG in that thing is a MUST. 454 or bigger.

+1. The bigger the earthquake it causes the better.

motorvated · 04-06-2010, 02:28 PM

LOL @ wire wheels....

Big block FTW.

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 02:31 PM

Nah, man. You need to make a commitment and work towards it right now. That car needs a big block. Period.
