Finally the ol chevy II was rolled back in to the shop to get finished up. Basically all thats been done so far is the motor and transmission has been put in, but more importantly the body work is finally done to the point of good enough. In other words i'll be cruisin in flat black primer....oooo yeah.

3 star ride....now thats hurtin, cmon gotta be at least a 4 star

november 28/05:

well, i pulled the ol girl off the road and put it in the shop for the winter...not by choice tho...the tranny packed it in sometime in october(mustve been that 7500rpm open header burnout at work i did)ah well the gas milage was shit..not a bad summer i spose tho....running high 12s at the track was great but i know it wouldve done at least 12.60 if it wasnt missing so bad at the top end. even if it ran 12.60 itd still be too slow for me, so its in the shop now getting some attention...time for some mo' power.

more to come.....
