Haha, I wish. I actually work out in the hamptons though. Well, I think the car is running perfect now. The spark plug wires were all miss matched so i matched the trailing with the trailing and leading with leading, also replaced the fuel filter. I haven't gotten the chance to test drive it again being that I'm sitting on two flats and the car isn't on the road yet. Other than that though, she starts right up and revs through the rpms perfectly haha.
Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I can't wait to put this bitch on the road and get some real pictures!! I would have had it on the road thursday but of course I need like $500 just to put it on the road. It also doesn't help that i work all week and DMV is only open late on thursdays

Thanks and congrats!!
Well the car is down for repairs as of now! It still feels like its not getting enough fuel. The upgraded fuel pump caused my motor to flood and I think my injectors may be clogged being that only one of the bottom two plugs was wet. I also picked up another fuel tank that was in better condition and I'm treating it with POR-15's fuel tank repair kit thing. I saw some good reviews on it so I figured I might as well take care of everything now so I picked up the kit for $83 shipped to my house. Came with two bottles of marine clean (some serious ****), some fuel stabilizer (that I'm not using), metal ready which prepares the tank for the sealer that also came with it. So now the tank will be good, hopefully haha. I also just found a place to give my injectors to for cleaning $25 for each injector, no I'm not buying that injector cleaner in a bottle bullshit. So hopefully after all of this is done, my car will be all good to go.

Just put in new plugs and wires, the old ones were charred to **** and they were all Leading plugs!! WTF!? Well, the gas tank is still being treated and should be done by tuesday, results so far are great. Debating whether or not to get my injectors cleaned or buy used ones. If I were to get used ones I should get them cleaned anyways but my injectors look horrible, they're rusty and ****. I posted a WTB ad in the classifieds, lets see what prices I can get then I'll go from there. Anyone know where to get O rings? The dealership wants ******* $100 LOL.
