The first official sound of the car. Click the link to hear the car run. Notice the gear drive. Its pretty cool!
11/26/00...ITS BACK!! And it looks awesome! Its actually better than I thought. Now the interior and engine looks like crap compared to the paint. :( New pictures as soon as possible. 5/27/00...Its in Nasville, hopefully getting worked on. I just told'em to call when its done. Based on the looks of the other cars they have painted, it should look real sweet. Also, I have put the Mach 1 scoop on, rear spoiler and front spoiler....sweeeeeet. While driving it to the paint shop, a punk in a Jap car passed me. You don't how bad I wanted to..... 4/12/00...Well, I gave up on painting, I'm taking it to a pro, Kwaitaski's Body shop in Nashville, Illinois. Say that 10 times fast!! When it gets back, new bumpers, wing and spoiler and I should be ready to make some Goodyear smoke signals!!! Nothin' like a small block in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11/21/99...Paiting still sucks, but, it's running and I love driving it! Of course, it will never be done. It's going into hibernation now. The few weeks I drove it was a dream come true. 4 years have FINALLY paid off! 9/1/99...Ok I ain't a painter. I've had people tell me it looks good, I thing they're being nice. 8/28/99...PAINTING.......SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P 8/2/99...OK, I just sprayed the first coats of clear over black PPG paint. Looks good. Estimate completion in 3 to 4 weeks. My set goal is to have it cruisin' on Friday the 13th. I don't know if thats good or bad!? 6/1/99...Man, I haven't updated forever, here goes. The car is somewhat together, (see picture), I have drove it, no hood and all, and she runs great. A few minor bugs to work out and body work, and I'll be ready to go. I hear alot of "yeah right"s out there. We'll see I guess. 12/25/98...Yep, its Christmas and WAY too cold to work on the car. As of today, the car runs, rolls, the whole nine yards. I even took it down the road a few times. (Without front fenders. haha) Work will resume when it gets a tad warmer. New pictures....I promise. 8/16/98...Well, the dash is out and all the wires are being replaced. After attempting to start the thing for the first time I realized I had a serious electrical problem. Should be reassembled in the next day or two. New pictures coming soon! Update-7/27/98...The trans. is in and ready to go now. Start putting on headers, carb. etc. tomorrow. Update-7/18/98...The engine is in and the transmission is being rebuilt after a little accident by yours truly. If your gonna put the transmission on a block, be sure the torque convertor is all the way in..oops! Pictures will be available as soon as possible. Things "SHOULD" start to pick up now.
