Thats silver:hick:

Any sugestions of stuff to do/improve at this point. Due keep in mind I'm almost broke, very little gas left in it, and I have all summer let to do this. Give me a direction guys, I don't know what to do next. I'll probaly finish cleaning up underhood today, maybe scrub the whole body down again to try to get a solid coat of paint. And who knows, maybe even wax

Nothing else is really broken, thats the thing. Now it's on to little detail stuff before I start big projects like new rear, new heads..... stuff I want, not need

Might have doors and a trunk lid. Need to go pull them though. For that matter, might have the whole 86 car. Cheap price and good panels. All that gets done when it gets paited. Not hurting too much right now. Soon might be a trunk mount bettery kit, but that depends on if I can find the box I had or not.

I'm going to jump the gun here. I don't have any of this traded yet, but I might be getting a screamin deal soon. I'm trading an Explorer upper and lower intake setup for:
A set of pristine, virgin 90 Stang' GT White leather front seats
A 90 GT Stang' 8.8 Rear with 3.08 TL
And a set of turbines with tires. 225-50 nittos on the front, 275-45 nittos on the rear.

Nothing is set in stone yet, and it looks like I'm getting a kick ass deal. I'll post pictues as soon as the kid sends them to me. This will be a stright up trade, in person as he's not to far from me. Closer to *mayham* really. I'll keep everyone posted. I can't belive I'm hitting something like this, it's almost exactly what I want

Meh, it was only a call back. I go in later in the week to see if I got it or not. I am in the top 3 though.

For the first time in a LONG time, everything is good. The carb is dialed into this motor. The exhaust is on and sounds amazing. All wiring is working correctly. And best of all, I'm in the prosess of getting the title. By all my best hopes, should have by end of the month. It's finally coming together, and after the turbines and seats, I might even just leave it alone for a while.;) ... but what fun would that be:flip:

Not yet. Going to soon. But all the otherlittle shiznit that hurt me from day one is fixed. The heater hoses leaking as they were bypassed were capped the right way. The fuel lines are now re-run, not splided together with hose clamps. I got the carb dialed in, and a good wax on the car now. Just got alot of little stuff done and it added up. If I can find a video camara, I'll have a sound clip up and who know's, a tire sacrafice in the driveway never hurts.
