Default It Is Finally Alive

Well it is finally Alive...
My Build has Finally Come Together and It Runs
First off I would like to thank My Wife and Dad without all of their support I would have never taken this on....
Next in line is Tony (aka Hardcore) He was a MAJOR help with my Build/Install/and Tune. Also without him I probably would have not chosen to take on this size project.
And my Friend Shelby whom I have built many a car with and he always shows up to help with whatever mess I get myself into..

After many months of working on the car installing the roll cage/ fuel system/ shifter/ rearend upgrades/ Guages/ Wideband and
Waiting on my Motor to be completed and all of the parts to come in from some great venders and non Venders Special thanks for all of their help on this build..
MRE Power Products ---Engine Builder
FTI---Trans and Stall Builder
G-Force---DriveShaft/ Trans Crossmember/ Locker and a few other things...
Lonnies Performance Automotive--- Entire Fuel System
Nasty Performance---Valve Covers/ Plug Wires




Unfortunately I still can't drive it due to some drivetrain issues but thanks to Chris @ G-Force for his help and should be good to go by this weekend.....

I don't know what the RWHP is yet I am waiting on a driveshaft I had to have remade so I can actually drive it and take it to the dyno. If I get some # I will post them up..

Thanks A lot. I never thought I would be able to do something like this, but My grandfather passed and left my dad a little money and he said he wanted to help build what he never could when he was younger so we went for it..

Thanks glad you like it. I actually like the Fast painted much better than just the way they come but everyone is different and that is what hot roddin is all about.
