This is my cardomain site that I made after I put in the 86 6-port motor with the racing beat holley intake. There have been many other mods to, like full interior stuff, so just check it out and tell me what you think.

Its 10 times better in person. I don't know why but the interior really doesn't like cameras, maybe because of the flash. But I think it works out nicely, because I have changed a lot of it from red to either carbon fiber or black. But probably more to come for that, like gauges and stuff to break it up even more. But thanks for the compliment.

Yea, the motor had to come before the rims obviously. But I am planning on painting it this spring before I graduate high school. Just to get that taken car of. THen I will probably get the rims. But perfromance and interior are done. Just the exterior and suspension now. The big bucks are waiting to be spent. Hey thanx for the comments. Your car is looking real good man. HOw is that motor treating you now?

Oh yea, I used just regualr paint from auto zone to paint the dash. The SECRET is the primer. Use sandable primer so it fills in the dips in the dash, then you can just paint right over it. Put like 2-3 coats of each on. Mine turned out perfect, and it has no scraches or anything after 1 year of it done. Just take your time. And I painted mine in the car, because the dash is a pain in the *** to take out. So I taped everything up. Also did my headliner black, and the panels in the back are also red.

my personal opinion on your car is, that its freakin beautiful, but i'm not a big fan with the interior. i'm not saying i dont like it its kinda nice, just too much red for me. but the engine.....WOW. i like it a lot. mucho props. i still need some cash to build up my 12a so i'm on my way. ohh, and is that the holley 600 carb? but other than that nice car.

Thanks a lot rotaryx. My interior is very controversal, I guess me being only 18 I am trying to give it that young look. But if I had to do it again, it would definitley be stock black dash with lots of gauges and nice accesories. Yea the carb is a holley 600 from racing beat. It runs beatifuly. I ran a 9.7 in the 1/8 mile with an un tunned carb. So I believe this summer when I run it I am expecting low nines out of it with a few more mods to the motor, without slicks or Nitrous.
