Cut out the headlight buckets with a plasma cutter for the front oil coolers.
Lowered it off of jackstands.
It had been up there for 3 years!

It sounds great with the 4-1 header and supertrapp!
Webcam 86b, dual 40 IDFs.
All new custom electrical harness.
High torque starter
Sideshift upgrade w/ all new linkage bushings
Jake's valvetrain kit, new P&Cs, balanced.
Rear suspension ears repaired and reinforced.
Ground control rears w/ adjustable perches.
Newly rebuilt brakes all the way around.
CF dash, Innovate-LC-1 AFR gauge, dual EGTs & CHT w/ Innovate-TC-4 monitor, VDO oil press & Temp

Drove it around the block twice and parked it back in the garage.
Nailed the shifter adjustment on the first try!
Now checking out the suspension & getting ready for ride height adjust & alignments!

They sure look a lot smaller sitting on the ground instead of 2 feet in the air ;-)

I'll get pics once the front bumper is back on.

VROOM!

Put on Pilot driving lights. Took car to Shelton, WA car show (didn't win). Drove it in the heat with the top off, night drive with the wife on Saturday and Sunday day drive with my daughter. Thing is running like a champ after my early June break down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Due up is some wiring work and I'm thinking the new multi-colored gauges are cool!

I kept it's place in the garage warm while I'm getting paint/body done.

This picture gives an idea of how skinny/steep my driveway is!!!

I wish this car was mine, but I'm helping my brother on the restoration of it as he doesn't have a garage.

I did get some nice update on the progress of the welding and work being done on my car...I'll have to post a thread later.

Reinstalled the horn part of the steering wheel and drove it to work for the very first time as I now have a parking spot 40 feet from the door! Security sees it on the closed circuit TV, and the parking lot is physically patrolled plus its where security guys go for a smoke! I had to go outside a couple of times with people who wanted to see it. My favourite part of my job now is the drive to and from work.

Replaced the 30 year old 165s with brand new 195s today. What a freaking difference! Need to clean up and replace the trim still, but picture:

tossed in the koni yellow adjustables in the rear that I picked up at the walker swap meet a couple years ago.

they came with some progressive springs that I thought were the same that I had but these were an inch taller and the paint stripe was silver with a green paint dot with 2 indents at the top of one end not gray stripe like the others.

nice ride on full soft (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Got the wiring for my cutoff switch and ignition panel about 3/4 the way through. I'm learning a lot - I'll post pictures when I get the chance.

Took a nice relaxing hour drive around the Lake Minnetonka bays. New engine build runs good and engine temp stayed steady at 205 deg. on a 90 degree day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
