Thanks Brian, I'm eager with anticipation. Next is to set the suspension, steering and height. Then on to plumbing and wiring, after that I should be ready to think about firing it up. The beautiful sound of horse power, I can hardly wait.

I bet! Im in the same boat! I cant wait to get the 85 back together and see how it runs.
I have been thinking about this car a whole lot and what I should do with it, it currently has no wiring but I have the complete factory wiring harnesses. So I think I want this to become more of a Wild Street Car and take it to the cruise ins and car shows. Doesn't mean I won't race it but ultimately I want it to be a street car again.
That's where its at. Who wants a trailer queen you cant enjoy any!
Now u gonna enjoy it more. Keep updating progress I like this car
Put that shit back in, trust me. That's my only regret!Quote:

My oldest son is going to Butler Tech this year for Auto Tech because he wants to become a little more savvy with this type of stuff, good on him.
By the way,
Thanks guys, I appreciate the positive feedback.
Just a mini update, put the car on the scales yesterday and it ways in at 2,650 lbs with driver. Man this car is light, not sure how that is going to pan out but I'm not mad.
Wow, that's really light. If like to find some scales locally to check mine out but I don't think there's any chance of being that light. That thing should fly! :bigthumb
how much is said driver weigh?
ThanksQuote:

Nice set up. Out of the way, but easy to reach.
More photos to follow. Just figuring out where to mount the fuel pressure regulator, ignition coil, alternator and start installing all the factory wiring.
U think it will be ready come spring? Lookin good man:bigthumb
That is the goal, currently don't see any reason that it shouldn't.Quote:

Would you finish this already...your car is in 1st place for 2 separate threads that are miles long...it makes me want a coupe every time this pops up.get this done lol
I'm bringing this back to life.
I've been spending more time on this recently between everything else that takes majority of my time (work and family). Been working a lot on the plumbing and almost finished, man fittings aren't getting any cheaper. Then onto wiring the entire system, pictures to follow soon.
