Has been a long time since I have posted on this site but I thought since I have been dropping cash on the car I would share some progress.
To start out with I bought the car with a factory motor and an aluminum radiator.

So a motor swap from a motor I had in my old 1989 GT...Edelbrock heads, crower cam, etc etc etc. Some screwy wiring from the guy i bought the car from. but the swap was done.

Got tired of the setup and wanted to do something different so I began the process of converting it over to a carb. Pulled off everything and sold it to Fire25.

I got the car back from Mustang Motorsports here in Ft. Myers and wow what a job he did.

I also moved the battery to the trunk...

How the car sat until I took it in this week for some guages, a new fan, and a tune.

The paint on the car is rough and I almost wish I would have waited to drop the motor in so I could have painted the engine bay but paint is the next thing in line then nitrous, then wheels/tires and suspension.
Should be picking it up Monday and I will update with pictures of the interior which I am in the process of putting back together.
Oh yeah and this is all done on a college students budget (I pay tuition, books, rent, food, etc) and out of my own wallet...not sponsered by mommy and daddy. :mullet:
