WELL SOME OF U MIGHT KNOW ME ON HERE, BEEN HERE FOR A MINUTE, ASKIN QUESTION BOUT MY OTHER PROJECTS, BUT NEVA SHOW ANY OF MY BUILDS, SO I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND WANTED TO MAKE A THREAD WIT MY OWN BUILD SO I WENT AND BROUGHT THIS

86 CAPRICE CLASSIC BROUGHAM







DO ANY ONE HAVE THIS TRIM PIECE FOR SALE OR KNOW WHERE TO GET IT? LOOKIN FOR IT, CANT FIND ONE





PLANS
-NICE LIL BUILT 350, CAM, INTAKE, CARB, VORTEC HEADS, HEADERS
-40 SERIES FLOWMASTER EXHAUST(2.25 WIT TURN DOWNS)
-REMOVE ALL TINT
-EURO FRONT HEADER PANEL SWAP
-BRANDYWINE PAINT WIT OFF RED CANVAS TOP
-INTERIOR IS UNDECIDED RIGHT NOW, BUT WANT TO DO A ITALIAN LEATHER BROWN COLOR WIT TAN OR PEANUT BUTTER SUEDE INSERTS
-DOUBLE DIN CD PLAYER, 2 VISOR SCREENS, 2 HEADREST SCREENS, 4 12'S
-22 OR 24 INCH 3PC'S (DONT KNOW WHICH ONES YET), LEANING TOWARDS THE 24'S

THA GOAL IS TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND CLASSY BUT I WANT A LUXURY FEEL TO IT...

DO U THINK CHANGING THE INTERIOR SEATS WOULD THROW THAT OFF? I WANT BUCKET SEATS, WAS THINKIN BOUT SOME NEW BMW SEATS WITH THE 10 WAY MOTOR BUT DONT KNOW BOUT THA BACKSEAT OR SHOULD I JUS STICK WIT THE BROUGHAM SEATS AND HAVE THEM RE-DONE?

good project to start with....on the seats i always luvd the broughm pillow seats...them bitches so comfortable but i feel ya on the buckets but unless u plannin on runnin a center console or a floor shifter and you got the split bench id keep em and juz re-wrap em..i think the split benches in boxes look good unlike other cars like gbodys..like em in caddys too...but sounds like u got a good start on wat u want

u gonna start wit the motor work first? and on the double din you gonna have to eitha move the air control unit or build sumthin for it if i rememba correctly they juz like gbodys wit a single din deck and the air unit rite above it

o and not to tell you wat to do wit your car but on the top if you go peanut butter guts and brandywine paint a peanut butter top would look clean too ta match the interior (that kinda ol skool and wat was dun back in the day n still think its clean) JMO tho and an idea for you to think about

yea, i might jus end up keepin tha split bench, i was gon get tha seats from a 745 bmw but tha dude wit tha car wanna sell tha whole parts car and there is nuttin i can do wit the rest of it, and its jus a body and he still want 4,000 for it wit a wrecked front, when i was willing to give him 1,000 jus for the seats, i can jus put that money into gettin my interior done over

and yea, tha motor gettin done now, its gon take a lil longer then usual because i got tha dude thats doin it teachin me somethings while he work and he got to work around my work schedule...but i say in about 2 weeks, everything should be up on it...he tryin to talk me into not running vortec heads and jus keep tha heads i have on there now, so since i really dont know engine work like that, might not go vortec

i wanted to go peanut butter top or white at first but alot of people on here said a light colored canvas top would be hard to keep clean, and i want to go canvas because u rarely see them on boxes any more, everyone on vinyl...jus a lil sumthin to set me apart...but imma always keep that in mind, might switch it up to vinyl when it get time to do my top over

guess it depends if you park outside or in a garage on the top stayin clean..i had a white top on my box way back n the day n neva had a problem wit it but i always parked in a garage and was always keepin it clean..guess personal preference

and im the say way bout motors i juz started learning realy bout ema nd was there and watched and learned when my mechanic took my engine apart so i knew wat was wat to learn...and ya mine goin slo to cuz i gotta wait til he get off work to work on mine on the side so it slow goin but ready to drop in now so hopefully i'll have mine runnin this week

good luck with your project homie
