well the motor runs but its got no shoes right now to drive, no suspension still being painted.

it sounds mean. the neighbors loved it.

wed is fine just let me know. Cant wait to see that car, and hear my first LT4 hotcam and see what the rave is about.

big things added up too, thousands of dollars worth of big things lol.

i am going to wait until wednesday, i got the opportunity to work 11hrs tomorrow and i really need the $ so i am taking my day off wednesday to finish the car up, hows that sound ?

[Kwazrollinz28]

Thanks kyle!
this was a pretty fun project despite the amount of money i ACTUALLY spent opposed to how much i wanted to spend in the first place haha oh well, its been worth it and i learned a lot about these lt-based engines

yeah i spent well over 200 dollars just on replacing a cam and oil pump.

I had to paint, Clean, And replace a few small things, and those stupid small things add up real quick

you still coming by today? your get to hear my car run.

Yeah, they always seem to cost more than one initially thinks...

lucky bastard... i still have to wait 1 more day for my subframe/steering rack/accessories/ and all the other crap to dry before i can even hear my car run. should be tuesday ill hear my car run i ordered my tune last night.

i still need to order valve covers, being my rockers and mods make them so high up i literally have to hammer the valve covers down, but once it clears those valleys theres no rubbing.

[.DetroitKing.]

yeah i was getting worried i got hoed out of those pushrods, but thank god i didn't . i am going out there monday to put them in and make sure everything on the car is bolted down/ fastened/ etc. and then start it up fix bugs and whatnot and then drive it tuesday morning hopefully!

[Kwazrollinz28]
