cygnusx1 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I went to visit Mike (Buzz) to see the progress he is making on the old '77 that my friends and I built in high school. Mike took this car under his wing about 8 years ago after it had been sitting in a dark garage in the Bronx for 15 years. The car has a jewel of a motor in it that was bored and blueprinted. It has custom cut Venolia pistons making about 11:1 compression. The cam is a Nissan sports cam of some variety with a peak power band around 7500rpms. Mike, has been cutting, welding, stripping, little by little over the past several years. It turned out that the front end was a little crunched in a prior hit so Mike straightened it all out, replaced the crossmember, and fully restored the engine bay. The engine bay, fenders, roof, doors, hatch, and tail panel are all prepped already. The engine bay was his first paint job which came out awesome. Any day now the rest of the car is going to the spray booth, but first he has to weld in the Bad Dog rails. Check out the Ferrari seats we put in way back in High School. You don't hear many cars with an idle lope like that anymore!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
