but thats ok, atleast its not a ford

(now that i look at it, i must be smoking cause there's a new hood on the car, and i thought it was a parts car...)

Hey STL1994,
The one in the backround is mine. I wouldn't use a car like that for parts, I'd at least get one with decent body parts. The worst thing about it is that it runs like a million dollars. The mechanicals and the interior are in first rate condition, but it just looks hideous from the outside
(edit)I almost forgot to post what my car used to look like. Well here it is

hey deadbird, what kind of intake system is that with the open-air element? i never saw that before, did you custom make it?

thanks!

89ragtop- thats rare these days to see a piece of crap body on a solid motor. you should of seen my old 86 V6 camaro, it was a piece of crap! the motor had a cracked exhaust manifold so it made a coolo loud noise that was its only "mod"

but the body was dented up, no rust, miss-matching paint, the interior had nice front seats, but besides that, the interior was wrecked too. cracked everything. did i say it had a leaking non-factory sunroof? the headliner sagged like 10 inches filled with water and drenched the seats whenever it rained

dependable car, but i wish i could find the VERY few pics so i can laugh at it.

vortech,

That's a 90° factory elbow on the TB I just bought (p/n in my previous post) with my MAF sensor attached to it and a 3½ opening K&N from Jeg's. Nothing very unique, just a temporary rig so I could drive it home after getting the motor back in (again).

 

I wanna compete on this note!! (sad, isn't it..) I'm not sure if you'll be able to see why from the quality of the pics (they were taken in fairly poor lighting and have been brightness compensated to a usable level), but this certainly isn't the greatest looking paint job.. and there's a dent you can't see in the pics (mostly refinished but noticable)







Notice the stripe size on the rear bumper cover and spoiler, and the primer on the top of the rear bumper cover? maybe it's not as bad off as some peoples', but it isn't doing all that well yet either =P

Black Beauty: does that car have different headlights now? I just ask because that car is in a post on another board in a group of pics showing it with headlights from a Monte Carlo or Chevy Truck..

 

From bad to worse

 

Deadbird, how did you go about gettin rid of all those damn hoses above the passenger side valve cover? It looks awesome without all that crap on there.

Road, Thanks for the compliment
fortunatly I live in a state where passing emissions it only something you talk about people in other states having to do. All of my AIR stuff is gone. I origanally planned on putting it back on,, but said to h-ll w/it,, the way I wanted to do it to keep it clean was too much work and considering I have had this motor out 3 times would've just been more crap to take off each time. This is what it looked like b 4 I pulled it this last time



That was almost complete at that point. If you notice also,, I have hid every wire possiable, the factory wiring harness is put in so damn nasty it drove me nuts, I've even ground the runners at the base so i could turn the injectors to the inside so you cant see the wires to them. Once I get an air box of some sort made the MAF will lose it's temp. wiring.

 

i wondered where all your wires where..that looks clean. great job. i wish i had thought of that.
keep it up man.

Here's my 82Z while putting on a new bumper cover and lower ground fx. The lady who had the car before draged the front on a driveway or something and ripped it all up.

 

This is Joel075's. He put that it's a BEFORE pic, so I'm assuming there's an after pic somewhere.....

I'll throw this picture of mine in the contest, This was in July of last year, it's painted now, and yes that is bare metal. I can get away with it since there is low humidity here. Can you believe I drove that all the way across town (about 10 miles) to the body shop like that without gettin pulled over? I still can't
