African Muscle Cars - Forum

Here are a few pics of the 'little chev' at the moment.No doubt as the project progresses, i will be adding and asking advice.Let me know what you think.

Very nice car and project. Horrible rims..for me

Hey gordini, i totally agree about the rims!They are just there so that she can roll, thinking of some nice deep dishes for that baby!

Welcome to the forum, nice project, is this a clone build or the restoration of an orginal?

Hi ZA perana, this is a clone build that i'm busy with.I've got a sweet 350 motor that is going in, the tunnel has been cut aswell.Just waiting to find the correct box.Would like to go 4spd Rockcrusher, but as you well know, scarce as rocking horse sh%$! A good few guys that I have spoken to sugggest going auto.What are your feelings?

sweet Streetfighter looking good thus far agree a set of deep dished wheels will bring out that "muscle"

A auto is fine and all,but for that Firenza to really scare you,go manual !!!!!

Thanx bigblock, gonna try and hook a manual up.Does anybody know what other manual boxes would be suited to the 350 motor?I have read that the Toyota Supra box (R154) is a pretty sturdy piece of kit, worthy of handling around 550 HP.Anyone got any experience with this unit?

I would definately go manual!

I just love these cars. Manual for me might as well be scared on a daily event!
