I put mine in the air today. Motor mount swap, exhaust rework, and likely rear cover and rear main seal

I did the same thing, but don't think I put down quite that many miles. Also put on the new wheels.

I put mine back in the air today for the turbos and manifolds to come back off and get ready for the roll-bar install.

Nice looking ride, Brett! Is that a car you're going to hit the streets in?

Hey guys, I'm moving to the Shreveport/Bossier area in April. Is there a pretty good F-Body scene up that way?

It seems to describe my excitement well.

Thanks man, you don't have to rush it though. I don't even have a windage tray, pick up tube, or pump to throw in there yet so it'd just sit around.
I got one you can have. Just give me a ring, you'll have to clean it out though. I bought a new one

Yeah, I've got a 75/25 blend that I'm okay with. Honestly, I'm still better with just the flux core; mainly because I've had so much more practice with it.

I'll weld anything you want. Just let me know.

How's the medicine coming? How much further do you have?

It's just some exhaust mods, so Im not sure what will be best. Ill let you decide when it comes time.

It's all good, just busy. I'm almost done with my first year, then 2 more

Yeah Hilton has a nice welder. He didn't used to but now he does. I don't think Hilton will ever buy a cheap welder again.

Actually, the pontiac hoods are pretty functional. If you remove the baffles they pretty much put the air directly into the bottom of the filter. The SS hood on the other hand is an engineering disaster. But it looks good

Day late and a dollar short. Bought a rcsb s10 and ordered a carb, intake, mounts, and headers already. Just waiting on everything to get here. This is the 2nd attempt to drop a 6.0 into a s10. Last time it was a cammed and supercharged lq4. this time it will be cammed, carb'd, and nitrous fed.

01ssreda4 what about screening the ss hood? Bud said his IA temps dropped 15 deg and noticed they it was functioning better. Have you tried this?
My car should be dine with a temporary mirror the company ordered the left twice instead of the right.
I got them to tuch up the brake calibers.
