Awesome, I believe we are the only guys on this forum with turbo widebody first gens now? Should be awesome when it's done. I need to get my microtech tuned and finish some electrical, exhaust and then mine will be on the road.
Your interior looks like it has undergone basically the same transformation as mine from red to grey. A bunch of work but worth it!

rear end
Dan, i think i saw you are running a ford rear end from prior posts, i have the SE rear end hopefully it holds up.
I know dead stop launches will kill the rear end as i have ccw 17-12 like you. But I highly rec the panhard, as my rear end shifted alot going up embarkments,
i will try to dig up some pics of a car similiar to yours that was built in the 80's here in miami the guy poored like 30--40k in the car ,wild, it was black same flair kit as yours custome red interior, full race car for the street

Very cool, I would be very interested in seeing that. With the ford rear end (8.8) I am using full adjustable heim links, and everything is very stiff and I cant really see the rear end shifting much.
I agree with you about the launching, i'm now mostly afraid of the transmission blowing up. I have a scattershield just in case for the clutch, with the exception of the engine the trans are the most likely part to fail in my situation. TII transmissions are pretty easy to locate for me at the moment but if I keep having issues I may goto a ford T5.
Basically when it goes build it better and stronger and go from there!

Although it is not turbo'd, Billy Waits old Re-Speed widebody now has forced induction. My wife isn't afraid of it either so it doesn't just sit in the garage. He did the whole rear end with adj heim joints and I agree with Dan's assessment it doesn't shift that much and is very stiff. It will be a bitch for me to drive it across country to 7-stock but i will get over it

Is that the Mariah GTU kit or some other one and are those rear flares just the standard ones that come with the kit?
