well it is lowered and shaved on the 17's right now (having some clearance issues though) I would grab a more current pic but it is under a tarp and on a flat tire.....with some holes in the 1/4 from where i cut out some cancer and fiberglass (the pass side in the pic is FULL of filler....why it looks good) it is slowly getting there. the last two years have been killer as I lived in the dorms and it pretty much put eveything to a hault......did my motor and tranny swap over my xmas break.... a trans swap over spring break.....bodywork all the other times

Cool body style. 6 Sigma's kinda hard to say if you've had a few too many. Perhaps consider swapping the two: Sigma-6.

well it should be running again this weekend when my new carb float comes in and I can get the oil lines finished on the turbo. but still need to get these damn brakes finished on it. thursday is a big work day for me and I shoul dhave the bonnet finished up then and the manifold all bolted up (I found a pinhole in a weld)

That car is extremely neat. And with a wailin' hairy turbo'd inliner...that's just gonna be really cool. Keep the photos comin'!

well made some progress until the TIG screwed up today (I think it dropped a circuit or something)

so my bonnent is like 95% done (just two seems on the back to finish up) it is a little lumpy but will work for now. once the car is running I am thinking it needs a cleanup with the DA (it is ROUGH casting) and work on getting it buffed out for the bling look. you can see my crudy looking fuel and oil ines in the pic. I gotta trim my drain down and put in a little section of oil supply and put in my new float and then I can start the car again (been parked a month now)

[62fairlane]

well I might go with sigma 6 (I can get it on the cheap vanity plates then)

well I started the day by hitting the local hillbilly yard to pull a motor form a car I took an ignition from a couple months ago. guy said he would give me the dressed motor for $100.....get out to where it was and all that was there was an empty spot (motor had a york AC compressor I was gonna use for my bags )

so came back early and got to wrenching. got the turbo mounted and all the oil lines hooked up (left the feed loose so I can check for oil flow before starting it) I also started working on the boost feed pipe (no IC for now) and started looking at what I was gonna do for exhaust.

then I realized that I still have no fornt brakes since I got a week wait on the 6061 for my caliper mounts so I started putting the drums back on the car (the 17's will need some work anyway) so the motor should be done (with pics) monday night BUT I still need a new throttle. so it will just be waiting on that. I had bought a cable kit on ebay but the guy has yet to send it (been 3 weeks now) so I am just going to be buying another it looks like from someone else.

Hey man, I didn't realize you were on here. How is the project going?

its coming ....slowly....

when I milled my choke horn off I think I got some junk in the idle bleeds cause I can't get anything out of the idle circuit at all. other than that and needing the throttle cable bracket cleaned up a little it is done. it took it down the drive this weekend with it missing a couple vac lines just to see if it would pull a strong "hop" and it did pretty good.
