started the delta ss http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/716267
so far, its been smooth, we cut a bit out from the crossmember, but she looks reeeeeal nice under the hood.
we have a olds 10 bolt rear with 2.73 posi goin in, she is gonna be a monster, lol.
mods will include(right away) tune to remove vats and tweak performance, cold air intake, pacesetter headers, and true dual exhaust(magnaflows).
later we will probably go with a cam change and a converter.
we are building this for a daily, so the gas mileage is 1st on the list.
what do ya think? we are contemplating going with 15x8 wagon wheels with 245 width tires and factory hubcaps to keep the sleeper look going. we also have a set of gnx fender louvers to go on, so there will be a hint of performance if you give it a second look.

and as far as slot boat, just remember jeff schwartz's 82 cadillac...

You should put down the crack pipe and step away from the plasmatorch. Seriously you must really like that car to put that much time and money in it. It WILL catch a lot of people by suprise when it's on the street if you leave the outside stock looking stock. What are you going to use for a fuel pump? How are you going to get the cable driven speedo to work?
