after 2 years, she moves!!

nearing the end of a 2 year project, i took her on the road for the first time! things went pretty well for the most part. on the 2nd trip, the supercharger oil feed line came off and i had a small fire, lots of smoke, and left 5 quarts of oil spread down a 1/8 mile streach of road. also need a 2nd muffler sometime soon. but all in all, im happy with it! now to paint and install the bumpers, hood, lights, bolt down the seats, and work out the gremlins. thanks everyone who helped along the way! 84stock for the tuning tips... and especially the Codeblues (don't have enough space to list the help i've gotten from you guys)!!!!!!





the setup:
82 gs body, 84 -se suspention, rear end, drivetrain, interior
MSR wheels, SUBI Diamond grey metallic paint
RB lowering springs
13b 1/2 bridgeport
camden 7"
holley 650 double pumper
2nd gen DFIS
holley fuel pump

will try to post vids tomorrow

Yep I'm Happy for ya Greg.
Yeah its hard to believe that after two years and a lot of work , it drives under it own power.
you name it and we have done it to this car. we even put the 84 dash in a 82. We still have a ton of work to finish the car. But it sure is nice to see it all come together.

Its still hard to believe that it went from this to that.

i'll take some pics of them for you tomorrow. i used thick cardboard for the red inserts and the the stock panels for the black. got some spray adhesive, and went to town.

2 things

- felt was not a good idea. im not sure what i was thinking. use a quality cloth or perferated leather look material.

- being drunk when you do it is also not a good idea. quality of work goes way down in that situation...

Greg, Glad to see that your car is finally coming along. Of course it will never be done, but sure is nice to see it closer for you to drive it on out of my driveway lol.

You can be very proud of yourself for completing such a project, of course help from CODEBLUE too. Don't forget to tighten all your bolts and check them all the time. Please no more fires

Good job
