Comin along good. I guess the rear axel wasn't bent at all, that's good.

No, I already had that replaced. Took the rear out, had the axle replaced, and reinstalled the rear so the car could be pushed around the lot.

Cutting out the subframe connectors...no big deal


Video of the flipping...this is why you have big friends:

[KahanaReef]

Jeremy, you make me nervous sometimes

[SMWS6TA]

That's one way of getting to them....

[ls1camino]

Well, helllllllooooooo there


Next to my current 1.75" Headers...can't wait to get these on. FAST102 is getting ported too.


Parts everywhere...and that's not all of them....I have some at my house and in the Suburban too.

How the hell do you keep track of all the nuts and bolts?

All I know is that the more parts you have left over, the less the car weighs and the faster it goes!

First part bolted in...new drag shocks and adjustable spring mounts:




Lower shock mount on my Moser 9":


Pedals, Brake Booster, Clutch Master Cylinder, Steering Wheel, Wiring and Dash in...I should have taken a picture of the rats nest that was the wiring once I fed it through the firewall








And for reference, here is how much space is left over after the HVAC is removed from behind the dash:

Looking good Jeremy! Nice looking pedals also, they don't look like the cheap covers that most places have.

[RONS98TA]

WOW !! Looking good man. Looks soooo much more like a car just by adding the dash! What a great spot to hide a NOS bottle where the a/c use to be!!

Looks like the ones Emblem Pros sells.

Thank you, I like them a lot. I have actually had them sitting in my garage for about three years, because they are a total bitch to install. They require precise drilling, and I just can't do that in my car with the roll cage, etc in the way. It was just convenience that the pedals were removed from the car

I can't link the site due to it being a non-sponsor, but they are not cheap...$135 pre-shipping.

I never thought about that :

How would you service it?

[RONS98TA]

How would you service it?

Just use the glove box opening. You couldn't use a very big bottle of course, but if you were street racing and wanted a lil bit of an edge, that would be a cool hiding spot.

Sneaky Pete? Not for our boy, Jeremy. If he were to put Frank on the bottle, it'd be the biggest baddest nitrous setup on the planet... and then he'd still want one bigger.
