Congratulations.

I'll update some pics later. But small update:

1) Paint refinishing almost complete, not perfect, but turning out very well considering what we had to work with.
2) New Audio/Video system en route.
3) New "GloShift" gauges and carbon fibered dash plate installed.

Pic of the new GloShift gauges. Likely need a new O2 sensor:


Paint refinishing getting there. I wet sanded the entire car down....3 times, then used Diamond Cut compound, then another compound, then polish.......guh...

That paint job was just horrendous. So many runs to get out, 3 or 4 coats of just enamel slapped on....all uneven. Hope I never have to do this again. Paint won't be perfect but will be a massive improvement. In a few years I'll probably have a Black pearl paint job done......but really don't want to think about paint at all at this point....

Audio/Video system installed, just waiting for the Amp to show up.

Had to cut the dash just a little bit to get it to fit properly, but surprisingly bolts into the stock radio holes.

Awesome setup, the face-plate is actually a detachable 7" Android 4.0 tablet. Has Back-up camera, DVR, navigation, and anything a tablet could have. Even Angry Birds! lol Has plenty of room, back-up camera is tied to a manual switch to pop it on and off at will instead of just when the car is in reverse.

Had it at a small local car show yesterday. Got a lot of attention and not one person knew what it actually was until their either asked or saw the badge.

Working on a new Carb now. The 750 cfm summit on it was junk too. Slapped on a custom 930 cfm and damn did this car scream. Night and day difference. 930 is a bit much, so probably go to an 800 and make adjustments from there.

Loosened up the suspension too, nice soft ride on the freeway.

Post some video please! I have always liked this car a lot

I certainly will once we get it running properly.

I have always loved this car. Any dyno runs in the future? Are you going to keep the wheels?
Division AUG 04, 01:35 AM
Hopefully all that at some point. Wheels, tires, suspension are all great, so not touching those. Just got the new Carb on today and need to get it set properly. Air/Fuel ratio is a little off. New alternator is on the way too. The stock 74 amp junk one is still on there, with the sound system and all it can't handle it. So ordered a 140 amp one. One of rotors is warped as well.

Doing my best to get this car back in perfect condition and/or make some quick improvements.
