working on the fuel system now...making lines, taking them off, making new lines, taking those off, and finally re using the line you originally took off.

its been a LONG time coming but finally we have completed the build. Some of you may have seen in person at this years All Out Call Out; Novacaine is alive and well as well as the trash can.
Here is the finished product of the engine bay once we installed the inner fenders and tucked the wires.

once we were able to drive the car around, we got the suspension adjusted to a very nice ride height. Ground clearance is exceptional for the low ride height!

With this being a modest street car, a working stereo was a must. When we got the car there was no stereo or speakers, just the holes for them. With another 5 hours of wiring, we ended up with a very nice Alpine deck and a sound quality fit for a classic car.

There is no better look than original, so we decided to keep as much original parts as possible which ended up being everything! The interior is next to flawless and although its big, the stock steering wheel flows well with the build.

The car was purchased with cheesy green lap belts that just didn't flow very well so we removed those and installed black aircraft style lap belts for a better look and a way more comfortable fit.

With the car running good, it was time to test the waters...first opportunity was the All Out Call Out. The car made the drive and quite a few passes with zero issues. We couldn't be more proud of ourselves with the outcome. Also, the trash can made its debut as well where they were officially crowned "Beauty and the Beast."
Stay tuned for pictures and videos from the event as well as updates to the trash can build thread.
