Ps. Please excuse the goofing around before I got in my car...lol

 

***UPDATE***08/05/09

The rear end is finally getting build, almost done.  Even have a set of Edelbrock Anti-hop bars on it.  Here are some pictures of it.  Will post a before/after burnout pictures and video later on.

 

 

***UPDATE***07/04/09 

Finally got my parts for the rear end.  Auburn Pro Gear for 8.2" 10bolt rear end, Richmond 3.73 ring and pinion, Richmond rear end Mega rebuild kit, and rear disc break kit.  The break kit is on backorder though.  Oh and I finally got my brake booster painted too.  Here are some pictures of the parts.  I'll update a bit more once the goodies are installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

***UPDATE***04/16/09

The exhaust had been on the car for a while.  Much improved in power, torque, and reaction.  I'd been busy and procrastinated.  I'll post up the pictures soon.  As for the rear-end, probably gonna be a while before I can do that.  My everyday driver had been totalled and just bought a new car...

 

***UPDATE***01/18/09

 

Bought some new stuff for the car.  The new exhaust system is ready to put in.  Just can't wait to feel the change.  Got Hedman Elite ceramic coated headers, Jegs brand Flex tubes, Jegs X-pipe crossover, 3" pipes from Jegs, and Dynomax Ultra Flo Welded mufflers.  Here are some pics. 

 

 

***UPDATE***11/14/08

 

Just upgraded my powersteering gear box to one from a SS since mine was dying, might as well upgrade it.  Also changed the headlight to Sylvania 4000k, much brighter and a little white tone.

 

***UPDATE***11/01/08

 

Did some touch up of the grill and repainted the headlight bezel.  Washed the car today, so took a couple pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

***UPDATE***10/21/08

 

Just got my car back today.  Engine runs great, so much fun.  A little problem with the power steering right now but still runs great.  It's gonna rain here for the next 2 days, but after that I'll take some more pictures and videos of it.  Gotta break in the motor...meaning lots of driving...AWESOME!

 

 

***UPDATE***10/14/08

 

Switched to a 4" air cleaner.

The Bowler Tru Shift system had been installed.  Also added a 1" Carb Spacer.

B&M SuperCooler transmission cooler

A couple shots with the rev limiter, some chrome pulleys, and plug wire loom installed.

 

***UPDATE***10/07/08

 

The car is in the shop, the motor and tranny are finally dropped.  Took forever, but not complaining now.  Bought a couple more things: MSD Soft Touch rev limiter, B&M lock up converter, B&M transmission cooler, Bowler Tru Shift throttle correction system, and Monroe MaxxAir shocks.

 

 

 

A couple shots of the old motor and tranny.

My motor just got done!!! Gonna be getting a new rebuilt 700R4 with it too.  Also decided to get a bigger HEI distributor, new MSD plug wires, and upgraded my carb to a 800cfm Edelbrock.  Since my last update I've also switched my dash radio to an Eclipse CD player.  Took some pictures already, will post them soon.
