:beer: , im going to try my ass off to have it together and on the dyno by next Tuesday the 18th!
nice save!!!
good idea about mounting the gas tank backwards, i never liked seeing any of the fuel stuff exposed, always thought it ruined the look of the car.

Cars coming along great. You plan on leaving it at that ride height? Also like the black saleens even though i love the AFS reps
Hard to believe it is the same car from the first post

Thanks bro :beer:
after the motor goes in the front is going to drop significantly, and i have coilovers to adjust to get the height im looking for.. as for the rear, once i get a little gas in it, and the springs settle, it will drop a little as well.. so it should have a good stance in the end
i was back and forth on the afs wheels, i may get them just to get them, but seeing as i have black accents all over (tail lights, windows, on motor, my license plate, few other things), i think the black wheels go with it good.. so im still up in the air about it.
Not sure if i posted it or not, but this is my license plates for it:
i know with being at about 650 hp, its not really going to live up to that license plate, but soon enough lol.. when i ordered that plate, i have a single 76 turbo kit i was going to put on it, but ended up changing my mind
car came out awesome man i wish i could find a CO cobra roller laying around! i do have to ask though if you dont mind sharing. what did you get her for? i wanna get a roller in a few years to build for my wife cause shes not gettin mine! lol
Lol I paid more then what it was worth IMO. Buy since it was co, and I really wanted it. I paid 8k. The guy wouldn't budge, I'm 100% happy with the car though, so that's all that matters.
On another note, motor won't be going in this weekend, we hit a snag. I got the motor completely dressed out, went to put my t56 on, and found it was missing the fork and pivot ball/stud. Can't find one anywhere, so going to try and get one Monday.
Few pics from yesterday:
The orange looks funny in the pics, it was night time, and under shop lights.. but it does match the car pretty good lol, not like in the pics
