Going to be sick for sure

Where’s the big block and “go baby go” button???

The “Go-Baby-Go” button would be the perfect finishing touch.

Hey it’s Tuesday.

fffuuuck! Why did I have to find this thread tonight. I have to get up early and work out and then work the night shift! I read every page. I hate you. Srsly.

Great job, man. I can’t beleive how awesome it came out!

I haven’t really done much with the car lately,the holidays, the end of the semester, and having to put a new motor in my daily has left me short time/money wise. However now that I’m on winter break and the daily is up and running again I can get back to it. The car itself hasn’t moved an inch since the first of the month, and now that there is snow on the ground it won’t until spring. I do have a number of things that still need to be done. The transmission has been leaking fluid and needs to be resealed, the throw out bearing needs to be replaced, the rear end gears are too long (currently 3.00:1 i’m gonna put some 3:70s in). I need to take apart all of the interior panels and address some fitment issues, I need to order and install the roll bar, find a movie correct autometer tach, and do a ton of other odds and ends. So even though the car looks done its far from it.

today I got started on restoring the rear scoop vent boxes, these go behind the upper scoop and have sliders to allow outside air to enter the car.

what im starting with, nasty.

I had to move the car to move some stuff around in the garage today and Since it hasn’t been started in a month I let the car run for a little and I did a quick walkaround video.
