edit: your missing a bunch of pics…
the car is beautiful. 40k orig FTMFW!
only one problem i can see with it…
i should’ve bought it out from under you that day! lol!
fix your pics some of em don’t work.
its kinda hard to take pics when im the one doing most of the work lol, big thanks to wayne for helping me with the fuel and timing issues tho!
edit: all pics work for me?
looks good man, now get a good suspension under it and some good gears. my dad used to have a 80s caprice with a hi-comp olds rocket 350 and a cam in it. was a sweet box.
Some pics don’t work, you hosting them on facebook or something?
they all work fine for me
suspension and gears are next, i already have some thick ass sway bars, just gotta go through springs, shocks, box rlca’s, ect i’ll figure it out when i get some time.
you idiot. adjusting your carb & shit shoudl be next! lol
Yeah it needs to be setup, it runs like crap still! But we’re going to do exhaust tonight I think.
wow someone has a real car … love the olds motor reminds me of my 70 ram rod… those things are bad ass mine had 10.25:1 compression stock. I forget what # heads it had i think 5 or 6?
The sway bars on this car is fucking ridiculous. Something like 2" thick :lol
ya i got 7A heads, not smog heads but could be better.
i am going to race you for slips, and then turn ur car in to cash for clunkers
We should drift it first since he’s backing out of the LVD event!
dick…the car orig had the v6 and 3 speed which combined mileage is 19.5mpg which is more than the 18 or less it has to be in order to trade it in.
