Nice... just read the entire thread.... lots of nice parts!!

Thats awesome that you got help from Frank @ Prodigy!

You still shooting for Charlotte Good Guys?

I might have to drive up to CMS... :thumbsup:

I'm hoping to go to Charlotte as a spectator without the car. Columbus Goodguys 2011 is the new goal. I'd rather debut it complete then in primer and such. I have a lot of work to do, but I'm not afraid of hard work so hopefully it all pans out

your doing an excelent job on the car, its looking great. Glad to see they got the belt set up fixed.

Hey guys sorry for not having so many updates been SUPER busy. I been buying some new parts and such, haven't really had a chance to do anything major to the car. Got the computer location mocked up, started mocking up the condenser. And even better news, the car FINALLY after 8 months has a fan belt and blower belt that clears with no problems, lines up and will work. So the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders with that:woot:. I picked up a set of brand new Corebeau seats at a local swap meet for $550 for the pair, so I definitely scored there. The tracks are out of a 75-79 Firebird/Camaro so if anyone knows someone who needs the tracks I gotta unload em so I can get the right ones. I got my ATS spindles, and my Wilwood polished master. My radiator should be here within two weeks, and the second/third week of November the car is scheduled to go for roll cage, headers/exhaust, sub-frame connecters and all that jazz. And last but not least, I have been working my butt off in college and keeping that my number one priority for all you guys who have been asking about my school, I have a solid 3.4 gpa for 12 credits so far in my first semester so I am very proud of myself there. Hopefully I'll have some more updates soon enough enjoy!

Progress is progress -sometimes it's just collecting parts.

and I am glad you have your priority's in the correct order

Great job at school, and nice score on the seats. Those are some nice spindles. Great quality.

Keep up the great work in college, it'll pay off in the end.
Nice collection of parts too.:thumbsup:

hey guys!
Been super busy, but I've been working on the car just haven't posted any pictures:_paranoid . I got my computer harness, so that's the plan this weekend to mock all that up. I got my radiator which is totally gorgeous thumbs up for PRC. I measured perfectly and just clears my steering box, so I bought an aftermarket rad support (so I don't have to hack up my good original one) that I cut the opening as big as possible to get as much air flow, also started mounting my condenser which hopefully will have the brackets finished tomorrow so I can tig it all up. Also have to modify where the radiator sits and the top support bracket so hopefully either thanksgiving or on Sunday will be doing that. I put my Aeromotive fuel rails on and got all my AN fittings for the fuel system, just have to put the tank in, run a return line, and drill the holes for the boost fuel regulator then that wraps that up (again hopefully finishing that this week). I'm just trying to wrap up all the loose ends before starting anything else. Here's some pictures hopefully will have a lot more soon.

Very nice. She's moving right along.:thumbsup:

Nice job!:thumbsup: Are you in New York? I'm in eastern long island

vinz68, Yes I am in Nassau county though. Hey guys, got a ton of work done today, mounted my condenser half way (I need to get fittings to finalize it), mounted my computer nice and cleanly under the dash, switched over the tracks on my seats and put them in the car, and started plumbing my fuel system. I have everything under the hood done and all the AN fittings done, with the fuel pressure regulator mounted. Just gotta make hard lines and put the tank in:thumbsup:. Hoping to finish mounting the radiator and finish up the rad support this week, also going to start fitting the fender wells with the a/c compressor/Procharger. Hope to have more updates soon, Merry Christmas guys.

Nice progress its coming along great.

thanks man always appreciate the good compliments

Your welcome your doing the work you deserve it. Your going to have a sweet driving car when your done.

Looking good. Keep up the good work.

Hellooo guys. I brought my car last week to get the headers, roll cage, intercooler mounted, sub frame connectors put in and a bunch of other little things done. He sent me a video of what he's done so far so I figured I'd post it here too. The name of the shop is Legacy Innovations and they're in York, Pennsylvania. I couldn't be happier with the results so far

Hey the project is looking good. I do have a question for you though. Your fuel sustem has me confused?? Is that the fuel pump down on the passenger side going into a y-block before entering the rails? If so, I dont get how the fuel regulator is going to regulate the fuel pressure since its after the rails? If the pressure is coming into the regulator up on the firewall, then where do the lines run to on the front of the rails?? Just curious:_paranoid

The fuel pump is in the tank the feedline comes up to the front of the motor and splits into both fuel rails which exits seperately and enters the fuel pressure regulator which is boost regulated and mounted on the firewall which hooks to a return line which runs back to the tank. It is the opposite of a set up for a carburetor. I did it exactly the way aeromotive recommended for the coolest possible delivery of fuel and/or the least chance of fuel delivery problems

Truly Impressive, Its nice to see the younger generations starting out young like I did. reminds me of when I was young growing up in my grandfathers shop turning wrenches at a young age.

having cars to work on when I was young keep me from getting into trouble and ending up like a lot of the guys I went to school with.

Its really nice to see you putting your heart and soul into your passion for cars, never give up.

man this build is pretty B.A. your goin about the same route i am i've got a 71' with a stroked ls2 build with a f1A and a tickshift t56.....i was wonderin what all you did to your subframe to clean it up.....good luck with the build btw

thank you very much! I love working on cars and everything about it. Ever since I was a young kid I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. I appreciate the comments.

Thank you man, putting the Procharger has been a definite pain in the a**, but it should be worth it when it's done. If you want I'll message you my phone number and you can ask me any questions you have, I find that much easier than talking over private messages

the guy sent me another video today of the car, here's the most updated of the cage!

It looks real good..

Okay, no problem I will pm you my number

Thank you very much! I couldn't be happier

Hey guys got another video today, he finished up most of the interior of the cage, and got the blower piping done with the intercooler. I should have the car back within a month or so.:thumbsup:

They did a nice job tucking the cage up tight to the roof. Nice job.

Got my exhaust today! A 3 inch 304 polished header back kit from Pypes. It looks really nice, hopefully it fits just as good. I'm shooting down to PA to see the car Sunday so hopefully I'll have some close up pictures!

Very nice.

Sweet looking exhaust. Thats the only thing about my Magna flow I think it 409 stainless. Thats going to look great on there.

Just read through this whole thread and what a great story. You're doing an amazing job on your car and I'll enjoy following it from here.

What a special thing to be doing it with your Dad. When I was your age and fixing up my Datsun 510, my 'ol man wanted nothing to do with it. He couldn't figure out why I wanted to do that to a perfectly good car. You know, lower it, hop up the engine and so on. Anyway, enjoy the experience, it will stay with you for life. I can't wait to do something similar with one or both of my kids.

Keep up the great work and your great attitude!

Hey guys,
Went to see the car today! Last week the fuel pump died on my father's S10 so we had to get towed back from Jersey:faint: so we were unable to make it. Here are all the pictures I took, I personally think it looks awesome and couldn't be happier. I took a picture of myself with the car so you guys know who's behind all the work as well:P
Thanks!
Joe
