All the removal, sanding, painting and re-install was during my 5 week baby leave for the birth of Karina Christina. This is a few months after.



Round 2, cage install. It has since been cut out. got tired of the safety issues of my oldest and lifting Karina over the bar and wiggling around the Corbeau seats I have.



Doug Carty in Seminole did the cage,,,great work, great price. I highly reccomend him.

My first attempt at body work/bondo wasn't to bad, but wasn't so good either. Wanna know what made me decide that? Seeing the work John did on his and Wendy's car.



Everything in the fender except for the main harness from computer.

I then had the motor out for a third time due to an oil leak and decided to try nitrous. Upgraded to Cometics, but for some reason I had water leaking from both sides after I reinstalled the heads. Couldn't figure it out, but finally did.

Well, got it running and was able to get it dyno'd and that's when it did the 308/310. Started running real funny and after the install of the HB, flywheel, and DS is when I got the vibration. Also tried the 30lb injectors to see if it would fix the 15:1 A/F ration,,no help. Turning up fuel press. just made it burn your eyeballs at idle and would surge real bad.

Out it comes again!!!! Sold all my EFI stuff for $700.
