Last couple of things got finished up tonight. Greg came out last week and we installed the DS safety loop, a new Deka Intimidator battery, put new carpet in it and I changed some wiring. Tonight he came out again and helped me finish up the install of the new seatbelts and I went through the valves again. The car is basically finished. Just need to do some mild street tuning, possibly a little dyno tweaking and make some passes. I can tell you that with the hotside leaks fixed and the new cam, it feels damn good. Noticeable change in low end power too.
I plan to weigh it in the morning, just to get an idea of how big a pig it is.






Oh, I'm coming for the lists too.

Well guys, I asked a couple of months ago, as to whether or not you guys were burnt out on buildups yet, and everyone seemed as though they were ready for more. I'll start by saying that several yrs ago I had a nice 90 coupe that I loved. My daughter was born in 98 and money began to get really tight when her mother and I split up. I struggled for a couple more yrs trying to finish the car and see it come to completion. The combo then was a 408 stroker with eagle internals, fox lake ported TW heads and a custom cam from Comp, an efi spyder and all the rest of the goodies. The car ran great, but was in need of a tune, sort of uncommon at the time and autologic was about the only guy on the seen. I finally got to the point where it just had to go, and I sold to a guy I used to work with for 10k, which was exactly how much debt I was in. I obviously took a huge loss on the car, but what I did get out of it, was a plan for the future. I've had time to research, plan and do a little wheeling and dealing to find the parts I need to build the car I want this go around. Unlike the first car that was setup for drag racing only, this car is a compromise between power, streetability and creature comforts. Of coarse this is subject to interpretation, what's considered streetable to one guy, is the worst thing on the planet to another. That being said, the things I've been willing to give up are air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. I'll continue to have power windows/locks, a stereo and even that damned old carpet padding thats probably adding 20#'s to the car. Ok, I'll shut up for now, and start off with a couple of pictures of what I'm working with. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I believe in full disclosure.

Over 8 years, 8 years and its all coming together! Im positive you are excited to get this out and Im sure I speak for others when I say...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Its been a pleasure to follow along in this build and Im truly thrilled that its complete! (well for now)

I know that you are close to Mike's place, but if you need an hour on a Dyno, hit me up and Ill make it happen.

[2Fast4You]

Get it out Rick, it's time.

[Rick93coupe]

I appreciate it guys and Craig, thanks for that offer, that's really cool. I'll let you know whether or not I need to take you up on that.

Hard to believe it's been 8 yrs but a lot has happened in that time. I got married, bought a house, got custody of my daughter, started a business and then my health took a dump on me. It's been interesting to say the least.

I hope to enjoy the rest of the summer with the car and move on to the jet boat finally. I'm pretty certain I need a bit of a hobby change for awhile, lol.

Great build! Car came out great! It's been a lot of fun helping out where I can. Things went really well this past week or so, I think your onto something with the changes you made to the combo this year, it wasn't a slug or anything by any means before, but you can really feel a difference in the way it makes power now. Get that biotch on a dyno soon! Can't wait for you to get it to the track and start working on the "lists"!

[Applejaxx95vert]

glad you got it all buttoned up!

[Rick93coupe]

Just out picking up dinner at the grocery. Got lots of looks, especially from the local PD.

Not sure why as quiet as it is?

New feature I found on my phone

[draggin50]

That's awesome Rick! Glad to hear you are out enjoying it!

[Rick93coupe]

Haha, that's cool! Thanks...

[Rick93coupe]

Well, I didn't think it would be light and I was right. 3140# without me. Maybe next year I'll think about some Kirkeys but the carpet padding is staying, lol.
