Andy, ill still be seeing you in my rear view ;-) But there are plenty of cars on the street, that you should have no problem beating. including mild modded terminators. Most around here arent modded much, so you should have an easy time taking them on. Even show some vettes whats up

You can beat up on my and the Marauder any time (at least until she gets blown). As long as the cut-outs are open so I can hear that exhaust. I love it when Joel beats up the Marauder as his car sounds sooo good!

Sounds good Eric, haha. It is pretty loud now with the cutout open. I can only imagine how loud it will be after the cam. Good think I have a quiet catback in case I get annoyed with the raspyness going through the cutout.

Almost have better luck beating vettes, too many old people not touching them. Get to know how your car drives will win you more races. Im by no means that fast either. Still need to do the spray. car would have more done to it if I wouldnt of discovered my motorcyle....

You weren't cold though! I didn't realize how cold it was outside until I moved my truck back in the garage.

If I can excavate it, the LS1/T56 might just make it to the "turd gen" but that could be tricky, since it was hit by an avalanche of useless parts......

Somehow I think you'll manage to get it uncovered. My only mod this year is tires. Seems weird not to be adding anything to the car.

It's black now! I went with a medium gloss, it's going to really blend in with the black interior. This is alot of work, that cage was hard to paint inside the car. I spent more time masking everything off I think.

yeah man, that looks good to I guess It will look nice with the black interior also. Obviously the tranny isnt back in there yet, judging by the shifter? You end up selling it and ordering a new one? I had heard you were thinking of doing that. Anyhow, i cant way for better weather so i can get the car out and make another trip your guys way. All my car buds live in des moines! Sucks!

Trans install Saturday morning. No I didn't get rid of the trans. I got the carpet in today, waiting on seatbelts from someone. I bought some from a member on here earlier this week and he just tells me today that they were grey not black .
Here's a few pics of the carpet in.

Jacob, I see you finally found the thread...
I got my new tires finally mounted on the car last weekend. This saturday may be exhaust modifications, or turn a wrench or two on jacob's hooptie while he is out of town this weekend. Heaven forbid We uncover // find the motor for it.

Nope! Well actually clutch is installed but trans is not. I'm finishing that up Sat morning. I lost my help on putting my trans in, so I decided to start on interior. It will be a miracle if this car ever get put back together!!! I get depressed everytime I walk past it
