Car is looking really good Chris. Keep up the good work and get it finished up.

Gorgeous color. Nice work Chris.

Thanks. Last week I decided to pull the rear end and have it powder coated because I wasn't pleased with the paint. Got it back yesterday, reassembled the guts and installed it today. Need a driveshaft, brake lines, and fuel line and the underside will be complete.

It's been awhile since we have chatted! Looks killer! Glad to see this thing coming along.

Looking good Chris!

Thanks! Been down with a pulled back for the last two weeks so I haven't done anything on it. Feeling better so about to get after it again.

made good progress this weekend for a change.

- Battery cables made and installed
- Pinion angle set
- Fuel tank installed
- Fuel lines installed
- Headers installed
- plug wires installed
- A/C compressor installed

Ready for wiring!

Car was finally started for the first time this evening!!!!! Not idling but it's a huge milestone. I'll get updated photos and videos soon.

Really happy and excited for you Chris! It's been a long road...but days like this make it all worth it! Thanks for sending me the vid....very cool!!

Congrats on the milestone but we need pics or videos asap!!!!!

I love this car! Great build and it will be a perfect street car for your family! Lots of fun memories are just around the bend! Power through the final parts of the build.....you are very close to that first drive in many years!

Thanks, Tony!

I'll post a video when I get it idling correctly. Sounds like an old junker with open headers rights now.

Congrats, Chris! The car is looking fantastic. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, Trey

Ditch that cold air. It's robbing a lot of power.

...and switch to what?

I just can't see it robbing a lot of power. 4" intake is a 4" intake. Is there something I'm missing?

what radiator hoses did you use? part number? issues?

x2 on both of these posts.
BTW car is looking great Chris!

X2. The Airaid intake system is nice and certainly not robbing any power.

As of now no issues but the car has only ran for maybe 5 minutes total. The lower hose was from Napa and the upper hose was from O'Reilly. I looked for countless hours on the forums for hose part numbers for my particular set up with no luck. I'll get part numbers when I get back home.

Lower hose is from Napa. Napa P/N 7196
Upper hose is a Gates p/n 22373

Car is looking great Chris keep up the good work.

Looks awesome!!

I'm about 2-3 weeks from completion! Car is running, was dyno tuned Wednesday, glass is in, just need to finalize some touch up painting, window trim, install the hood, and install the interior. The car ended up exceeding what I thought I could achieve in the beginning. Final assembly photos coming SOON!!!:excited:

Here's a shot of the underside while it was on the rack at the exhaust shop.
