I thought I would introduce a new project we have in the shop. It belongs to a local board member Kevin Jenski (4mul8ion). Kevin started this car 8 years ago and it has been sittin idle for the last 5 years. We are going to install the engine/trans wiring and get the car in a running driving state for him.
Plans include:
Engine is a 505ci Poncho motor built by Butler Performance
Fast™ EZ EFI
T56 Magnum
Mcleod RST Clutch
Quicktime Bellhousing
Rebuilt 12 Bolt posi rear has 4:10 and we are going to install 3:55 gears
AAW classic update harness
Classic Auto Air A/C
I'll get Kevin on here to post up some previous build photos but here are some pics from today.

First post after a long time lurking.

I'm really excited about this project too. It has been and should be a bunch of fun.

The starting point. Someone's bar stools are missing the cushion covers.

In ... then out of the paint booth.

I got into the body shop real early to take these pictures and was asked if I slept in the booth overnight. Yep. And I had real strange dreams too.
