That's a fast lookin' specimen you have there.
Hope to see the gigantamous #'s at dyno day.
I think the exterior is always best for last anyways.

Thank you i also believe the exterior is last and well...thats why its not done yet

yes i hope my dyno numbers are impressive as well, thing is my rings havent even seated yet still smokes some so i better break this ol girl in. Also i have no different jet sizes so its gonna be kinda difficult to tune her correctly inbetween runs, guess imma just have to play with timing, which is also not fun since a lil too advanced and she likes to ping , oh how i hate 91 octane

*cracks knuckles*
Just so u know, not done with it yet, i'll be posting a before/after thread here soon (whenever i get the paint done)

BAAD paint
FU*CKED 400 in the engine bay (blew up on me two days later.. had a cracked block/heads)
Some rust damage
Crappy red interior..
I need to replace the front bumper/drivers fender/most of the gound efx. The bumpers and ground efx have cracks. The fender has a BIG rust hole. I also have some rust on the 1/4 panels (under the ground efx) that i need to figure out what im gonna do with (prolly just bondo since its under the ground efx).
I had some rust fixed on the passenger 1/4 panel lip (cut from a rust free donor car and welded in)

Kinda got ripped for $1500 ($1800 after all the loan fees and interest) but what can ya do? At least it got my foot in the door.. The 700r4 was completely rebuilt (had about 500 miles on it) when i bought it tho, thats a plus.

heh

EDIT:: 412.... *drools*
EDIT:: *notices the 700+ posts* hehe, sorry, thought u were a noob, wasnt paying any attention
