Here is it as of today. I have had all the parts but have been slacking since I have been looking for work but the recent car repair and computer repairs I have done and the clientele I have been building I have been making some decent money with the unemployment that is. I installed a microtech yesterday and made $250 for the install sounds a little cheap huh? i should have charged more LOL i told the guy $250 his eyes lit up. But I made some time for the car.



Wont Be soon before she is on the road. 300hp 330lbft TQ yummy.

I have a Ford 302 and AOD tranny bolted into my vert, I just never finished it, haven't got it running yet.



It's got all the suspension from my coupe that I got rid of: KYB AGX and Eibach pro springs, poly bushings, DTSS eliminators, and a GXL LSD.

I just did the radiator frame today my cousin helped me do the welding i did the measuring. Came out pretty good if i might say so my self. Had to kill the radiator support and hood latch so i need to get some hood pins and a new radiator hose. i put it angled like the original fc radiator was but its bigger rad so had to trim the inside of the hood a bit due to the radiator cap coming in contact with the hood. i will take pictures in the morning time to go to bed LOL.

I cut out the radiator support, but put in a new one straight vertical. I just took some U-channel and bolted it to the tow hook bolts with some 90 degree sheet metal, nothing fancy. Hood latch is fine, though.
