Been busy with holidays and a vacation. Polished it up a bit. I got a lot of the grime and scuffs off from it. I need to cut it a little deeper when its ready to come out.
?Stacking up some stuff here and there.
Down to the shortblock, fuel and cooling system.

Still looks good, a microfiber pad some good compound will get it. I use IGL and their compound is dope with an MF cutting pad or rotary/wool. My TA gets compound/polish/coating next.

Finally got the axle narrowed and then measured for axles. Slammed the diff together. I can finally get motivated and get to rocking on the car.

Haha. I have a few scale pics for this one. Just waiting until I have a fair comparison to see how much weight it has lost! I gutted the doors, did lighter brakes, steering column, door panels and dash, and narrowed the axle with the gun drilled's, there wasnt much more to cut. They did most of the work. Im really hoping itll save 200lbs. Because at 1,7xx it would be the same weight as the camaro needing 1,000+lb drivetrain and fuel/turbo system.

Northern performance cars on facebook. I dont post too much about it on the business page but I have a little album on my personal page. Add me there if you want. Kenny Dangler.

67644 1,750lb blue tooth pads. I like it well. Just need to be cared for and placed on a flat clean surface. I like them a lot. They are a good value.
