Today was finally my big day!!!

Hey,

Well I did it, finally got the car fully safetied and everything. I'm now legally allowed to drive my car. I bought this car almost 2 years ago out of a junk yard. After 2 years of effort, trying to get as much and as mint of the brown interior as possible, rebuilt SP engine, SS brake line, New hard line brake lines and fuel lines, tokico blue sturts, eibach springs, rebuilt calipers and painted, SDJ headers, custom 2.5" SS exhaust piping into a Magnaflow 2.5ID - dual 2.25OD, Rebuilt stock carb (Getting replaced with a Holley 465, with holley monifold as soon as it gets here), Replacing the tank twice due to rust or leakage problems from other ones, replaced radiator, and lots of other little things that i can't remember right now. I think that for first time ever owning a car and basically never done any major work on any other cars prior to this, It has been an interesting and challenge experience but with the help of everyone one of you guys, you have made it possible for me. So thanks you all once again. There is still more work to be done (body kit, prob upgrade to a bigger engine later, CF hood, ...) till i'm trully done with it, but this far is a great achievement. I will be posting some vid soon and some more updated picture (i'm waiting to get my carb in before I want to take anypictures.)

PS: Sorry for the long essay but driving the car today knowing that i won't get pulled over, was almost as good as having sex. lol.
