    Nice car.

    Learn from Frank (71gold) do a small project, only one at a time, and enjoy your car at the same time.

    I learned this the hard way. If you tear it apart to far, you can get discouraged and give up

    Nice rack... I mean dyno rack. Women with cool cars are so hot. Looks like the car is in good shape. Although you may have to work on tweeking the horsepower a little :) best of luck

    lol thanks. its funny, because i ran the car on the dynolicious program on iphone, i had to guess at the weight of the car, but it said i had 64 hp, so it was close. that app isnt to bad.

    O i enjoy it, trust me. ive taken that car to pismo, mountains, race track. Im very happy with it, im hoping one say to improve its hp and other things but one step at a time. I think right now im gonna work on the gettin my passenger seat back into my car, then the bumper swap, then the v8 swap.

    Im gonna go with 89 roller 302 with built c4. i might put in a 9in. if i can find one. I gotta work on the frotn suspension too, my idler arms r going out. and the spring perches are just about gone lol

    i have a big battle in front of me. but i will win!

    Good looking car, when you do that small bumper swap you can give me the big bumpers...lol

    Im goin to keep the big bumpers and tuck them a little...for some reason I like driving around with a bench seat bolted to my front end.
