awesome build

Here's a few photos of what I got done this morning:

Heater control valve mounted, main cross-member in, engine mounts in.




Suspension put together, (don't mind the rotors they won't be staying) The raceland coils will be used only in the front, and I'm hoping to replace them with an ISC setup next year. But at $26 in junkyard gold, I'll take them for now!




Four wheels on the car for the first time since October. Notice how much better the ///M moldings look compared the the original molding still on the fender!

The shaved bay is well done man. And the red/maroon block is going to really stand out in the white bay. Love it. In for more progress!

[Fazda]

Whoa. (Valve covers are temporary, not sure what I'm doing with them yet)









And the events leading up to the drop in...

o BTW what trans are you using?

edit: Auto trans? he's using a 73 impala 4speed trans. maybe we'll swap it out for a t5 or t56 if possible.

This is sick. Props for the continued work, I thought at first this was gonna stay the way it was after the engine was first dropped in. Lookin fresh! Especially the white/maroone combo.

Love this dude, I was hoping you would do something like this after H20i! You have not disappointed!

[Fazda]

Thanks guys. I'm anxious to see the finished product.

I'm using a t5 from an old trans am. I'm not impressed at all, but it's a world better than the autotragics from round one.

[Fazda]

Lots of updates, need to find a few minutes to sit at a computer so I can get pics up.

It runs again!

Dudeee ive seen the original version on bfc, i didnt know itd get this far! I love it man. Your dedeication is awesome! I wanna do something like this one day..one day..

[DeeAOne]

Damn that looks good. Looking forward to the finished product. I think you should accent that maroon elsewhere in the bay too. Like the brake booster or lines.

[Fazda]

We've added a bunch of small gold accents to tie the wheel color into the bay, I'm happy with the results. But slacking on the pictures...
