PROJECT REBUILD 1992 #474 Thread

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I'm starting this thread with the purpose of showing the rebuilding and re-birth of 1992 #474. This car was wrecked at the drag strip when the right rear tire blew at high speed. The car ended up riding atop the guardrail, bending the frame. The passenger side frame rail was damaged by the guardrail as well as most of the floorpan.
The car will be rebuilt and re-born with a replacement LT5 and ZF trans. It is currently Bright Aqua with light grey interior. The new color scheme will most likely be Medium Blue Metallic (an 87-89 color) with black interior. It may even sport a white GS stripe down the middle....maybe??? Still thinking about this one.
Mods will be 4:10 gears, port/polishing, OBX headers, Hurst shifter and eventually a Marc Haibeck chip. It will also sport a set of Dymag GenII's. 17x13 and 17x11 with meaty 335x35x17's on the rear and 315x35x17's on the front.

Picked up the car today at Dominic's home in Chicago. We wrestled with a few things for a while but finally got it loaded and back to Indiana. Here are some pics of when the car was wrecked and also a few taken while picking the car up today. I plan to buy anything needed for the rebuild at Carlisle next month. I'll post periodic updates as the build progresses. I don't anticipate the frame and floorpan repair to be done until sometime in September. At that point, the progress should be fairly rapid.
