id gladly help

Vin wheels are coming out sweet, I put mine on the day i painted it. Left it in the sun to bake, so I checked after it was about 4 hours later(3 hours to wait till you can handle), it was dry so i mounted it on the car, looks freaking SWEET. Need to sand the other three better then i did the first one(you can see the scratch marks) but I put 3 color coats, and 2 clears, so its nice and thick and hard, after this week im gonna put a coat of clear over the whole wheel to seal the edges of the paint onto the rest.
off to attempt the brake lines, car looks sweet now I just need it to stop!

well getting the fittings off turned into a BIG project
Pulled the upper intake, and took apart the master, but i got the bitches out!! I am also putting in the V/C gaskets i bought last year finally to stop the horrific oil leaks it had, the  V/C were not even tight!!!
Off to get supplys to finish! Wish me luck!

Well I under estimated myself!! Got the top back on the motor, put the key in, and expected the worst, well she fired right up, my stalling problem i had when it first started is gone, it doesnt drop idle, it just starts and idles sweet!! Guess its good I cleaned out the inside of the intake, TB, and blocked EGR port!

Frame I built to fiberglass on the front fender

The painted wheel

Finished drivers fender, trim installed, and painted wheel

disassembled motor as of last night

assembled motor with ford blue V/C, and graphite upper, egr spacer, and TB, light silver IAC, TPS, and EGR. Looks pretty good, better then before! Should stop the oil leaks with the new gaskets!

Yea Ill take a better pic of the drivers fender, and the pass door jam. It was dark by the time I finish working on all my projects, been working from when i get out of school till about 10-11, sucks but hey I want to drive the car, I have to put in the work. Its a  money pit..... I spent over 400 in the past 2 weeks on it.....
I really have been winging it on everything, I mean tune ups, basic brake jobs, some suspension work, and all my motor work has been on old carbed motors, so I am in uncharted waters here. I mean I was sure i was gonna f up the intake removal and install, felt nice when it started right up, and I didnt have to keep my foot in it for 10 seconds so it wouldnt stall!!  Its looks amazing, running great, and I couldnt be happier with my first car. Considering its cost me about 1800-2k plus the 540 i payed for the car, its been a journey but hell, theres only one mark 7 in my town, its a POS, and the kid talks shiznit about my car, cant wait to blow his  doors off!!

Yea well I still need to fiber glass the rear quarter on the drivers side but other then that once I get the trim clips that side will be DONE, back is DONE, front is DONE. Passenger side all i have to do is strip and paint the lower part of the door, and finish the fiber glass on the rear quarter. Body work has been pretty easy, just some flat bar, self taping screws and fiber glass. Getting it running and driving its fought me the whole god  way. But its coming out awesome!
Got that body work, hopefully gonna scratch brake lines off the list tomorrow, then paint the last three wheels, and put the interior back together and clean it GOOD. then go to the exhaust shop! I want the  thing done to drive to prom which is may 9th
dont think its gonna happen, but its motivation!!
