i will also include tomorrow in this thread as well.....

well today i didnt get as much done as i wanted but am happy with what did get done. steering rack was dropped down 1/2in and the torque convertor was installed. Did some more final bracing to the motor mounts... and built one complete header for the passenger side.....


altenator is not mounted... just hanging there...... this pic was taken befor the rack was lowered...

I LOL'd when I saw the headers, and again when I watched the video. This thing is awesome, I wish I had the patience to build something like this. I love it

That is some really cool work you have done so far.

thanks guys for the compliments, it really keeps me going! i havent had a complete break down yet where i've started throwing sh!t so i think i'm doing pretty good so far!

anyway... i went and mocked up my radiator yesterday and found out that its going to be a very very tight fit. i will have to run a push stlye fan due to having noooo room on the engine side of the radiator. i should be getting my waterpump today, so maybe to night i will work on it a little. otherwise this weekend for sure!

Hell yeah that car is going to be crazy after it is all done and you rebuild the motor up. It should put down great times.

yea for this year i just want to get it good and straightend out with a stock 350... then later in this year i will throw my nitrous kit on it and wack it atleast a 125! so i am looking for a baseline 1/4 mile pass and then see what it can really do later on!

well since i am using a 9in... i am borrowing my buddies stock '94 gt wheels.... and for the front i am going to use stock saturn wheels.... ideally once i get some more cash flow(after this hoilday week/weekend) i would like to get some kind of pro stars or something for the rear and then try to match some to the front. and i will be running slicks.....

What if you tried some sort of "V mount" setup like some of the drifting/Import guys run?
