Solid mounted the top, as well as installing my V8 frame rails. Removed all the old car noises and stiffened me up.



I also installed Singular Hood vents.







Bringing back the gimp mask.

Old ones make cool fridge magnets. Also serves as a constant reminder to my GF that I do what I want.

I love it. Yellow really is the best color.

Most accidents are hit and run around here, it seems. Between the uninsured, suspended license, illegals, drunks, people with warrants, stolen cars, and those with contraband in their vehicles, there's a lot of running going on.

Cops did not do **** about it. Neighbors heard a "crunch" but were too stoned to make moves..

So Sav sold me on the TrackSpeed kit. Time to disassemble again.



I'm having trouble deciding between the 62 or 67. The motor is built, but I really had no intention of going E85. What would I be sacrificing if I go 67 now and E85 later? Thoughts?

6258 will do 400whp, the only applications I suggest a 6758 for at this point are 400+whp competition cars or 450whp+ cars.

Motor is out. Pretty nasty.

Found out that I had broken a manifold stud. I'll be replacing that with a Helicoil unfortunately.

Also planing to putting a AN fitting on the mixer/heater core connection. Wish I could just cap this off all together, but it sounds like that may cause to much restriction when the car is cold.

On a side note: Does anyone have any recommendations on thread sealant for my leaky power steering rack?

Been getting a steady stream of new parts. Finally had the chance to install something!
