New in South Florida - major project nearing startup

Post by #802PalmBeach »

Hello everyone and thank you for approving and welcoming us. My lady is in the process of joining the forum so we can both search and share.

2012 L77 6.0 Palm Beach Police #802 purchased 6/10/2021
very bad condition / trying to get it running for my daily

I will be uploading a few pics and videos of our progress for anyone that cares to check it out. Long and interesting story with this one, will be a mild and humble daily driver built solidly on a very low budget.

Aiming for low 8-second 1/8th mile E/T on a stock motor with light bolt-ons (hopefully / eventually)

It's Roland and Tara in Miami, Florida. I work on, with, and around these types of cars for a living. Learning a lot and trying our best to turn our "new" Caprice into a useful, dependable, and very enjoyable main transport for the family. It's not in good condition at all, but we are not discouraged.

Good luck to everyone with theirs! :)

These are the only random ones for now - I will try to upload the video with a different device of us actually working on the car.
