86 TC protouring project

Hey guys, Finally decided what route to go with for my 86 TC, pro-touring look, most likely 351w backed by a 5 or 6 speed, car was originally a TC but came with a SBF already installed, planning on having the body done this summer, got some rust to take care of and need to stiffen things up, will post some more pics when i get some more work done.

Looks like a great place to start! Definitely keep us informed with pics!

In case you haven't done so yet, check out ProTouring.com (an OK site) and Lateral-G.net (a GREAT site). Both are dedicated sites on Pro-Touring cars of all sorts.

What are your plans when it comes to suspension, front and rear?
Are you going with E.F.I. or Carb?
Really intrested to see how this turns out. Look forward to seeing the car with wide wheels and a low stance.
Thanks for sharing!

lateral-g looks like a nice site, but the other brought up some generic placeholder with suspicious links.  can you check the addy?


oh, and to the OP, about your black bird ...  carry on.
