#87960 Been gone awhile, but I'm be back, harder than ever.

Coming out hot in 09.... this POS will be unveiled sometime in FEB/MARCH...She was going down at the end of February, but due to number 2 cylinder losing ALL compression. She had to go down a bit early. Motor comes out tomorrow and all the fun begins. We will keep this updated when more progress is made...

#88428 If you click edit on your first post you can change the topic titles, would be better for everyone if you kept them alltogether - that way we could see the progress of your car from start to finish rather than snippets and have to search for ages to find the rest

The paint is a silver metallic base with grape jelly kandy purple on top. Mixed with fine prism pearl and deep purple pearl.

haven't taken the motor apart yet to see what went wrong... All I know is it developed a knock, So we compression tested it. Came back 180 all across except for #2, which was ZERO..

#88876 good luck with the build.

but why did you put your good wheels back on ? wouldn't it be better to do all the welding and grinding and stuff with the steelies on or something. would be a shame if something happend to the wheels now.
