I bought this a month ago as a rolling chassis. The car sat under a tree for about 2 years. I got it running two weeks ago and had the hood painted and graphics put on last friday. I plan on changing front bumper cover this weekend. Future plans include window tint, changing interior over to all black, stereo, happy gas, and more suspensions mods. I have never put decals on a car before, I'm trying something new. I'm sure not everybody will like it, but over Labor Day weekend I felt like a celebrity while driving thru town, WOW what a response!!!! I will post pics of the car in the sunlight soon, it's really bright! :lol: Thanks For looking, Troy

I don't understand the whole Monster thing. Monster as in the energy drink right? Do you just drink that much of the stuff? I'm not trying to rip on you, just trying to figure out why. I've been seeing the logo on tons of cars lately and just don't get it.

Flaming87lx
09-11-2008, 09:02 AM
The car sat for a few years and had a bunch of crap in the tank, I put the glass filters on to see the progress of it getting cleaned out. I agree, I don't like the looks, but I kept getting crap in my carb and causing the needle and seat to stick open and flood it out. I will probably change it out this winter. Thanks for the compliment Craig.

Hey Stang85vert, not a chance!!!! lol

Stock 88 5.0, went 13.96 @ 96.89 mph last wednesday at test and tune in Muncie. 1.848 60 ft time (loose converter and et streets)

I installed a F-cam, mac headers, 351 heads with mild port work w/crane springs, and Harland Sharp roller rockers this week. So, we'll see, maybe a high 12????

Well it "WAS" stock at the time, and you just barely pulled on me. I give that suitcase with a big block briggs and stratton motors props. It's ashame you got scared and sent that H22 (homo 22) to Alabama. I was looking forward to a rematch, but I understand!! By the way who went a 14.4? at the track and who went 13.90, o, o, oh I know, you went 14.4? and I went 13.90, hehehe!!!!!! Can you smell what the ford was cooking?:flipoff: o,o,ooh why yes you can because I was in front of you at the track, how does burnt honda smell?? O, did that hurt little fella?

Got the wheels sitting pretty close to where I want and I got the front suspension installed. The new frame rails for the rear will be in on Monday. I got the motor plates, and fuel cell in today. I also got the steering wheel installed with the quick release to make it easier to get in and out of. I also got my fittings and adapters in to install the manual master cylinder and line lock.

Trying to get ready for the Indy HP Fastest Street Car Shootout, I'm going to try to qualify for the quick 8. Just got a Edelbrock NOS kit, going to spray 200 shot if it will hook. Still not real street worthy, runs too hot for my liking and the brakes suck. I have manual brakes with stock fronts and wilwood rear and the car won't hardly stop, good pedal, but just seems like a lack of pressure. If any body has any ideas, let me know.
