d4's PACE 427 Build Thread

[750hp]

Well done Darryl. Funny you mention your second car being an XY Fairmont. Here's my first car, which I still own. It's had a couple of mods since I bought it as a one owner 250 auto...

Good on Ya' Craig.......XW and XY Falcons.........I bet there are a few of us on the forum who regret selling their " Old Falcons"........ Who would have believed the dollars a good one will fetch these days !!
Back on track......Looking forward to more pics on the Pace build. I have an LSA with 6 speed sitting in the garage..... May be a candidate for a " Pace" project some time ? Murray

"a couple of mods" to the 250 auto --that'd be an understatement

XK pv pos, XL pos, XM pos, XP , XT, XY ute, the XP thru XY was a good honest family sedan . The fairlanes of that later era would be a better pick as the body shells were zinc chromate dipped -- Oooh! sounds like nasty stuff and kiddies of today probably wouldn't be allowed to ride in one for fear of some toxic allergie reaction ?

Focus on the Cobra build

[Jethrow]

All this talk of old Falcon's reminds me of the Sandman Panelvan I let go in '95 for just $2K .....

It's definitely the one I should have kept

I should be getting some more update pics later in the week. I'm expecting to see the front section of the Chassis fitted to the main body.
The LSA is becoming a very popular engine for the Pace builders.
I'm still stickin' with my EFI 351W, but it's still early days and if for some reason the 351W goes all pear shaped an LSX would have to be top of the list??????

Chassis Update.

[Tonus72]

Looks beautiful Darryl!!

[d488y2]

The AP crew have finished my Chassis.

[guye]

Nice Darryl!

Build Update, the AP crew have done the Main body fitment and alignment to the Chassis.


Let the Bling Begin!

Yes!
Hopefully soon the "lid will be off", and you'll be celebrating its completion!

[Lexluther]

Nice! No bonnet scoop? Or does that get cut out later

I'm getting AP to do all my body cut outs. I will be bolting the bonnet scoop on later.

[Tonus72]

Looks good mate

[Russell9318]

Love the colour Daryl, looking real good

[d488y2]

Thanks Russell, I'm still not sure if the car will stay that colour.
Your build is looking Bad A88 in Black!

[d488y2]

Build Update, Base kit is almost finished just a few cuts out to go.

[Donunder]

These AP cars just look "right" from the very start don't they?

[Russell9318]

Darryl, that profile pic just says it all, it is sensational, the colour is sensational. My minds eye can see this on the road in all it's glory with a very subtle stripe and lots of bling and some eye candy in the passenger seat.
