Please Support Muscular Dystrophy
MDAC Canada
Once complete, we hope to use the "Thunder" to show off at car shows and cruises to help raise awareness and money for Muscular Dystrophy

Please note the new Car Domain interface, makes updating very challenging. I'll do my best to keep the site going!

Thanks A Lot For Your Votes. I Appreciate Your Support!

NEWS September 16 2008 Engine Tear Down
The 428 had some bad stuff going on within the engine. SO much for buying a used engine. What a waste! I'll keep you updated. 

NEWS September 12 2008 Working on the driveshaft
I decided to paint the driveshaft in a more "stock" appearing way. Reproducing the colours painted on the shaft itself.

NEWS September 10 2008 Engine is out again
A setback for sure finding that something is bad with the bottom end of the engine. So last night I removed the four speed. Tonight I removed the engine. Tomorrow it gets dropped off at the shop for disassembly. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe in 2-3 weeks I'll have it back in the car!

NEWS September 4 2008 Revised Stance Pictures
A series of pictures showing the revised stance. I had to bring up the rear of the car one inch (removed the lowering blocks) Still 1 1/2" lower than stock, but it sits level across the rockers now.
