and a extra hour tonight so I pulled the other head off.. I was still sick so I really didnt feel like laying on the concrete..
had a few hours tonight dispite working close to 50 hours this week and being sick (STILL)
Racetronix F-LS1 Fuel System RFPK-001
richmond 4.10 gears
richmond install kit
DEPO HEADLIGHTS
Quality is excellent and they come already whistler modded
billet grille with blue bow tie
also got the hid kit for the fog lights .. gonna have to make a relay block relay count is now at 8 and counting for under the hood lol
Havent gotten much of anything done on the car in some time. My back if fucked and I am working stupid hours.. but I am going to see a spine specialist on Wednesday so maybe I will get to get some work in in a few weeks.. LOL
I did pick up some more goodies today tho
Took a bunch of Vicodin and Flexeril and go some work done last night.. not much but it is progress
Got the car up on stands
modified the bow tie and got it onto the grill and grill in
pulled the headers
gonna clean them up a bit
Thanks to TransAmy for all the help
Cant wait til my back is better so I can make some real progress..
went to the Spine specialist and he gave me even more drugs ( arthrotec ) to take twice a day with my Vicodin and Flexeril and I have to do physical therapy for a month before they can do an mri or my insurance wont cover it.. I think I am just goona go see the Chiropractor if I go three times a week for like a month and twice a week for two more months it gets better for about six months but then I am right back were I started and $25 copay per visit adds up fast
I hope to get some more work done tonight and tomorrow night
probably gonna do the pump and hot wire it 4
Thanks for looking
Jeremy

If you have the exhaust already off and the car up in the air, dropping the tank is easy. But if you haven't done either of those its up to you if its worth removing the exhaust or just cutting a hole.
