Made some more progress this weekend....all 4 wheels are finally on the ground, been a YEAR since its last seen that haha. Got the brakes done and hooked up, suspension polished off, steering linkage and the radiator support on. Going to keep on trucking this week and hope to have the body back on real quick.

Thanks. She is damn sexy IMO. I will put my valve covers on later when shes running...didnt want to scratch them up during install. At a stand still right now....Dont have all the tools I need, there all back home in CA. Have to buy all new stuff here, its a bummer. I have to install a patch panel which I planned to do this weekend, but my buddy with the tools got sick and couldnt make it over. I was going to re install the brake lines, and there so old 2 snapped off and broke. Got to order new ones now....so not much further. If all goes well (please oh please) haha I should have the body on this week. Than its off to the exhaust shop for a new 3inch system and than order the driveshaft....
Im glad I have no wife or kids yet

Brandon, with that much power, shouldn't you be toying with the notion of a 3.5" or 4" exhaust system?

I have been debating that.... some say 3 some say 3.5. If it was an all out race app I may do a 4inch, but its mostly going to be street and maybe the strip 2-3 times a month. Im going to confirm with PYPES before I order the kit and see what they recommend.
