The pictures I have now are a little later into the process, I will have some older pics later on.
Here is the finished subframe and motor mounts where the SB 305 will set.
The 305 is being put in with the TH350 transmission hooked up. Before this motor, the car had a little 3.8 V6 motor in it out of a truck. We wanted to get that thing out as soon as possible so we could throw the V8 in there. We had no knowledge at all about the other motor except that it was all seized up.
The car is loaded up to be taken to the E&M paint booth.
Shot of John Jacobson from Ed's Body Shop keeping a close eye on the paint. He worked to perfection. I could not find any shots of our our other body man, John Chiari. Although he is not shown he still gets much credit for what has been done.
The car was dropped back off at the house and was rolled off the flatbed.
15 inch Torque Thrust II wheels. The fronts are 7 inches wide and the rears are 8 1/2 inches wide. Good beefy look.
Sony Xplod 3-way speakers. Put out some mean bass.
But then I decided later on to add a bit more kick! I bought two-12 inch Sony Xplod 1300W subs. Powering them is the Sony Xplod 1200W amplifier. The subs and amps are enclosed in a custom-made sub box that my dad, my brother and I had built. It slides perfectly into the back space of the trunk! Behind the Sony amp is an MTX amp that's powering the Sony Xplod 3-ways in the back window. The installer is a friend of mine named Marc Copeland that lives near by.
Got the bumpers done at Nuchrome out in Massachusettes. BIG MISTAKE. Got them back very late. We had to put air shocks on because the bumpers dropped the car pretty low.
Shot of the 305 under the hood. Has the 825 Quadrajet carb which puts out some pretty good power. Since the primary barrels are pretty small, my cruising MPG's are between 20 and 22! I'm really satisfied! I have the stainless steel under the hood which adds a good look to the motor.
The rest of these pics are just random shots of the body.

Here is a shot of the custom made gauge cluster made by A1 Machine Shop. Also a look at the Grant wheel.
These seats were made by my grandmother who lives in Florida. People find it hard to believe but its true.
Here's a glimpse of the undercarrage and the Flowmaster 40 Series dual exhaust. They add a great deep sound but they are still legal. The 50 Series was a little too loud. The exhaust was done by D&D in Bridgeton, NJ.

These last pics are of the car at the Pumpkin Run car show out in Mays Landing, NJ.
This is a shot of the crew that had their share of ripping into the car. From left to right: John Jacobson (Body Man), Todd Clarke (Owner), Dayne Clarke (Brother of Owner), Jeff Clarke (Father of Owner). John Chiari (Body Man), was also a part of the reconstruction. I will have to find some pics of him later on.
