The Car
This is how she exists today.
El Plano
Once I graduate from Santa Clara in 2006 I'll take over my parent's garage and i'll rebuild the engine and work it into a 331 stroker with afr 165 heads - 1.7:1 rockers, bbk's new manifold, and the street able e cam. I'll get her repainted an over glossy white. Everything that is chrome will be powder coated gun metal grey - everything from the rims to the badges to the exhaust pipes to the key holes to my license plate frame to the little silver things on the roof. Exterior style wise I don't think i'd go further than 5.4 badges, i like subtleties and for my car to be understated. I've got all of the interior peices fixed and cleaned. i intend to get some custom rims made that will look like my stock 10 holes but 18 inches. i'll swap in some disk brakes. also i'll get another top motor and that all working again as some of the roof's frame has broken. looking into roll bars and eight point cages too for safety and uniqueness.
we have the exhaust finished up, highflow50 talked me into magnaflows with bbk long tubes and the h-pipe with cats.
so far i've got a new wc t5 with custom gearing, 3.55 rear end w/ trac loc, a brass 3 core radiator, koni suspension, a 160 amp alternator, optima battery, k&n on the moroso fender wall inlet pipe, c&n 76mm mass air meter and pipe, new heater core, canvas roof, aluminum drive shaft, flex fan,steeda three point strut tower brace, a/c delete and one hell of a sound system.
clarion dxz935, two kenwood amps - both 350w for the speakers, six kappa speakers - 2x6.5s and 3.5s, basslink subwoofer. I wanted to wait on the stereo and build up the motor sooner, but i just had to listen to my tunes.
This is my home peice Melt. He keeps it real and is my sidekick during repairs and upgrades. The best way to describe him is to coin the phrase, the Cramer to my Sienfeld.
