Well Time for some pics. Here is shot of the Magnuson Super charger bolted to the LSX-376 with the Wegner front drive system meant for these blowers. It runs the blower belt behind the water pump and relocates the drive system forward. The valve covers are from Katech. The engine will be DBW and will incorporate our new line of wiring harness's that will come wrapped and equipped with mil-spec connectors.




The car when I bought it seemed really solid. But after I got done having the car dipped we found that the outer rocker and floors were pretty solid but that somehow the inner rockers we junk I'm not sure how that happens. So of course that takes quite a bit of work to cut out perfectly solid rockers and floors to get to the inner rockers.



The quarters had the typical trace rust on the lower edge and the outer wheel tub was JUNK. Since we knew we wanted the car as low as possible and wanted to run a 295 rear tire. We went ahead and built some rear wheel tube to maximize the room over stock and not have to rework the stock wheel tubs because of rust and shape.

Now as you can see in this picture the peak on the replacement quarter was not the same as the doors. To some people that small thing might be addressed with Bondo, but we went ahead and cut in new metal we formed to match the doors so there are no paint shrinkage issues and its right.
