What's amazing for me is I still have stock glass everywhere, stock brakes, stock k-member, posi-trac no spool, stock gas tank,
Those could get me in the 2750lb range.
And then, I haven't cut out any cowl, fenders, trunk, brackets, ripped out wiring, etc. etc.
That means some other car's I see on here must be like 2500 lbs and they just keep it quiet
Also got to put the LTCC LS-coil conversion thingy in today.
Topped up the Transmission fluid,
Grabbed the Mobile1 for the engine and realized I have no oil filter!
Have to wait to start her up ... it's been years so what's a few more weeks

Fluids filled
Fired right up first try!!!!!
Now I just have to secure wires and harness that I have flopping all over the place, and hit the track for some shakedown.

It's been about, oh, 5-6 years since this ran last. It was a great feeling firing it up today. I stink the no-cat stink.
