so for any of you that have helped me out over the years I thought I would give an update. the new motor and trans are in. 383 with HSR and trickflow heads. also has long tube hookers with a true dual exhaust. so many things that still need to be done before it is drivable, and since I don't have the money to finish right now I thought I would start getting the paint back in shape. here is what the hood and eventually the rest of the car will look like.




old and busted


new hotness


I still need to clean up the wiring among 500 other things on my to do list, but I think I am going in the right direction finally.

 

its looking sweet man !

 

just for grins this is where it all started

 

Looks good...I can't wait to see that beautiful car back on the road.

 

Lookin' good, Curtis! That car is going to get a TON of looks when you're out cruising.

 

ick who picked the trick flow heads out for you? the new AFRs is all I would have bought since you're paying a lot of coin for this motor. Probably going to be down 40hp at least over what you could have made.

 

time and money I wish I had

 

Lookin good!!!

 

Where's the 8track player! I'm dissapointed!

Any step that gets a car closer to the road is a step in the right direction.

Coming along good! Maybe on the road in '08?

 

Looks good man . did u get it repainted to?

 

the only thing I am going to repaint is the nose and chin spoiler. I just went to town with the clay bar and rubbing compound on the hood and rear deck. doing a couple of panels at a time. waaaaaaay to **** to do the whole car at once.
