Project: Resale Red

[n77nxc]

Its been a few months since I've updated this thread.

The car is still a work in progress. The engine has been wired and fired. Thompson did a great job with the motor and everything is running great.

Denny's is building a new driveshaft for the car and it should be here soon.

My dad came over to give me a hand with setting up the brake system and he is quite a fan of the project:





I had originally wanted a lowback style seat but changed my mind due to safety concerns. I ordered a set of Corbeau A4's for the car. My kids are enjoying them right now:



Next up is to get the AAW wiring kit installed and finish the interior. Glass will be installed soon, along with all the trim.

Here is a pic of the gauge cluster with the new Autometer gauges:



One question for the forum is what headers provide the most ground clearance. I'm running a stock subframe with Dynatech headers. The headers hang extremely low. I'm happy with the position of the motor, so its not an option to change the orientation. Has anyone used Hookers new mid-length header? My concern is the fitment around the 500 gearbox I'm running. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
