Default finally, pics/video of cali's baddest LT1 :D

Okay guys here goes... Took the car for a little spin down the road and got my buddies camera to take some pics since mine is freaking out. Sorry about the gleam and fog look in some of the pics. My buddy was trying something new with his camera or he was previously taking glamour shots of himself... Either way i've got a video of the car idling later on down there somewhere.... Years of work finally coming to this. I have to connect a few wires to make my tranny temp gauge work and put on some interior panels when i'm done (like under the steering wheel) but other than that she's complete and ready to be scaled..... I'm working on uploading the video right now and it'll be up in a few minutes or so......

hahahaha no cleatus is not my real name. My engine builder had those work shirts made up for me as a joke.... they are nice to work on the car in though...

Yeah you're telling me that it sucks that I didn't make it to the shootout.... I just cut it too close and rocked 2nd gear out of the TH400... I'm thinking about a switch to a glide....

I am currently running dual 4" exhaust.... 4" inlet, 4" outlet dynomax bullets about 8 inches from the collectors with 4" turndowns.....

and before someone asks "what's wrong with your ears" I'll explain. I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA and I had blood drained from my ears before I got permanent effects of "cauliflower ear"... I had the beginning stages so i had the surgery done...
