All that I have left is getting the grille painted and put on, fixing a brake line, and tranny cooler line, exhaust, front turn signals, foglights, and then plates and insurance.  Getting excited!  I will finally get to drive this thing on the road since I havent yet, lol

Thinking it needs my Draglites put on it though!

Ok, this car is going to be done 3 days later than I was hoping. Tomorrow I need to paint the side trim and put it on on sunday. I did finally get to drive it tonite, and its actually not that sluggish. Its definately not making a whole lot of power, but its not bad. 2nd goes to 75, dont remember where it gets out of first. It feels really weird not shifting while driving, lol.  I do know now that if I fill the fuel tank all the way up, it starts pouring out the top, so something is wrong there, hoping just a dryrotted evap line. I do have a new tank if its something else.








BTW: photobuckets new site sucks

Been awhile since I checked this out...man, that turned out nice. I wish I had a paint booth and the skills. And time. And patience. And money...and..and..


Great work...keep the pics and progress coming.

Got the false trunk floor finished, except for the carpet.  That will wait until after I get my autox car ready for the season.  I also got the side trim painted so that will get put on tomorrow.

This has full boston accoustics pro series 6 1/2" components, 3 1/2" coaxle's in the dash powered off the head unit, 12 year old pioneer subs, Kenwood DVD, JL audio 1000.1 and 300.4 amps.  Unfortunately I'm having trouble keeping the 1000.1 from shutting off.  Havent figured out whats wrong with that yet, but I know its not voltage since I put on a 200A 1 wire alternator.  I know I heard something rattle inside that amp when I picked it up, so I will take it apart when I take all this apart to carpet it.

What's the dimensions on the sub enclosure....I'd like to make something for my 'Bird when I get to that point. I like how clean and tucked yours is...still getting access to the spare is a major plus, too.
