I had the engine ready since Nov. of last year. I'm just now getting it together.

I had to wait on few custom parts... like the UIM, LIM, and other parts.. I wanted to build an all show no go kind of car.. So, everything will be either polished or blinged out.

More pics to come later.. if anyone's interested..

Fo Sure! I'm going to bolt up the turbos and RZ tranny by end of next week.

I'm getting a truck but most likely I'll be bringing my daily Legend. I'll rip out the back seats and hopefully all will fit.

You need to swing by and pick my truck up on your way?
Gas will be a little more than the legend but everything should fit.

Thanks for the offer.. But would hate to put miles on your truck. I'm acturally getting a small Ford ranger for moving stuff around..

I think without the back seat, i might be able to fit all the stuffs at FDnewbie's.
If not, I'll ship the rest from there.

Thanks Paul! I can't wait to get done! Its going to look RICED OUT!! And hopefully make upper 300s at the wheel, seq.
Hopefully it will be ready for the spring DEALS GAP event.. You're coming right??

Carson, Yeh, its going in my blk car.. I'm also wanting to re do my interior, but I'm too lazy..

You have never been more right. Let's just say if everyone in Alabama had their cars running.............it would include mine, Phil's 3 FD's, Bryan's 2 FD's and his FC, Stevens FD, Don's FD, Mike's FD, Gibbsie's FC, there are more but those are just the one's that came to mind without thinking.

thats my dream right there, very nice. the polishing is top notch and I love the custom LIM. Can you get the pulleys in anodized red? that would complete the scheme and look awesome. Cant wait to see it in the car. have fun.
