whats up people , i'am so not happy right now . i was gettign some stuff dont on my car , now it seems like iam at a stand still, ? i got lots of side work as of going on 2 months now, which is great ! but i need time to work on the SS again.
i'am think of front disc braking it now . the kits arent that much around 500 bucks for all new stuff, i might do that when i relace my old worn out front coil springs.

well i worked on the car today first time in 2 months
i got drivers side new coil spring in. the pass. side tomorrrow hopefully if its cool in the morning again.

question... on the pass side. im going to run the battery pos. cable inside the car to the firewall. is it legal to have the fuel line run inside the can too.? 'am probly only going to go to the track once in it. its a steel braided hose #10 i think ,i was trying to run it months ago and stopped cause i had work to do. i was trying to run it on the inside of the frame rail but looked shoddy.

what up think ?

im trying to every thing under the car done so i can let it off the stands.

thing is during the heat of the day my shop is like an oven.

No, it is not legal to run the fuel line inside the passenger area, not saying I haven't done it...
IF you think no one cares, try missing a payment...

well here's what i did today. i took my chunk out brought it the my rear end shop that set it up the with the 4.11 with the spool. well i told him a wanted 3.50s cause it's going to be a street cruiser mostly now, so he's going to swap the labor set up for free, since i helped him out of a bind once,, so the spool is coming out,, i never ran this car yet so the 4.11 gear only has 25 feet under push power,,i got a detroit locker 35 spline ordered from summit.should be in monday,or tuesday. i think i'am going to be happier with the locker and the 3.50 gears now i can cruise the coart if i want to appx 140 miles from my house ,with rpms under 2800 rpms


i think it should still haul butt right ? i mean with 10in stall and blower it shouldn't need a low gear

heres my mods again ...
489 tbs 8-71 blower 750 blower demon carbs dart pro 1 heads 345 cc's solid roller cam blower gring 252 262 /.651 114* th 400 10 in conv. 9 in rear 35 splines spool 4.11s ,rear rolling stock is 32x17.5 mt et streets more pics to come later .

trying to get it on the ground soon ,i never seen it at ride height level yet. been in air since 11-03
