Thanks man. I haven't really "setup" the suspension, i just bolted it on and went. The driveway is slanted also, that probably doesn't help either hahaha. I am gong to load an unedited version of the vid soon, you can't really applicate it with the music. Is sounds unbelievable!!!

Everything is ready to go!!! I bolted all the body panels and got the tow rig all ready to go. Took my boss for a ride today and the car is really starting to make some power. I spun badly from 1-3 gear, getting completely sideways in second. Now i know what all the Puerto Ricans meant when they said i was crazy for putting this car on the street. I figured at the state of tune and the boost level i am making around 375 HP and it is barely controllable Grin I will try and get some pics up later on.

I scuffed and primed the panels while Allen got the truck and trailer ready. Just couldn't see dragging it all the way to Florida with no hood, doors, or fenders! Going back today and work on the deck lid. Wish we would have had time to get a fresh coat on the entire car. It's amazing how much better the car looks with all the panels back on.....it's been a long time.

We could have used your help Marcello, primer dust from sanding the body messed up your nice detail work. BTW got to ride in it yesterday, I'ld say your description is spot on!!

13B-RX3,

What did you do to prep your engine bay for paint ? Did you weld up alot of the holes ? It looks awefully smooth. Did you use regular paint and primer or something special?

Thanks bub !
