Default Last fall to Spring changes.... Check it out

Bored and sick of waiting to finish the car to post some pics. When it's all done I will post some vids and pics.


Pic of when I bought it last fall:









New wheels:









Then I Broke a pushrod which bent a valve:




Since the motor is out, why not put some paint on it and change the wheels again:











and........ Black:












As for the motor. Bought some PRC LS6 heads, custom Thunder Racing cam (similiar to a T-Rex but a lil more aggressive), LS6 intake, blah blah blah. Should be ready to drop in Sunday I hope. Tranny has a TCI 4200 stall and has a 9in. w/ 3.89 gears.


If anyone is interested in maybe buying this car, PM me and I will give full details of the car and what I'd like to get for it. Im just tryn to finish the car so I have a car to take to the dells car show pretty much. Lookin to get into a nice, clean, quite Daily.

I'm sorry, could you repost that without the avatar? It just won't let go of my attention, so I haven't read a word you've written.

Update:








And these which I cant use since my new heads are center bolt valve covers. Go figure. and the intake is the same color as the valve covers, the color just looks that much different in the sun. Also my camera phone sucks.
