    still slowly picking at it. qa1 adjustable coil overs are installed up front. wiring is 99% done, throttle cable/linkage is done, battery is relocated, tubular lowers and uppers up front, sliders installed in rear (clamped in atleast lol). the trans lines and cooler are installed. slowly picking away at it. still needs quite a bit, but it seems so close!

    i got this for the truck too. after i have my fun with a high compression big stall big cam nitrous setup, id love to try a more mild driving procharged 370 setup a try.

    long time since an update. i had back surgery and had to lay off the truck for a while to recover. it's crazy how a few blown out disks can make your legs feel like there's lightning shooting through them! anyways....sold off the holley 750 and got a quick fuel q-850 that needs a rebuild. before i sold the holley i did a few laps around the block. i only have 2nd and reverse because the trans controller isnt hooked up yet. the rear diff cover hasnt been installed yet either. that didnt stop me fron driving it around the block though!

    also since my last post, i have installed a narrowed 8.8 rear with the tubes welded, carbon clutches and 4.10 gears. i installed tubular uppers along with the tubular lowers that were already there along with adjustable QA1 coil overs on the front. the Dr released me to light work outs in the gym, so i'm assuming i can start picking away at the truck again.

    the final stance after the rear end change and qa1 coilovers.



    and a quick video if you click on the picture


    anyways, if i can come up with the money to finish it by the shootout, i will drive it there and home. i seriously doubt it will be race ready, but possibly road ready if i pull my tampon and bust some knuckles.
