Drove my car!!!!
 

Well, today is the first day my car has been driveable. I installed the gas tank this morning and let her off the jack stands. I fired her up and pulled her out of the garage. I flipped around in the street, because I had it backed into the garage. Then I pulled it up my driveway into the garage. Leaving a pair of black stripes all the way up the driveway!!!:D I was seeing how high my torque converter would wrap up, and I decided to just nail it and let off the brake.:D My dad got kind of pissed when he saw the driveway.:(:rolleyes: It was worth it though.

I would have taken it for a spin around the block but it isn't licensed yet, plus I haven't installed the front shocks yet, or the export brace.

Now it's on to body work. It's a very tedious job...but I enjoy it. It's pretty neat to see something that looks really bad before you start, and then see it after you're done and it looks great! It's very rewarding when you do it right.

Just an update for all that care.

thats sweet
wut gears u ahve in the rear end?

nevermind i read ur sig

It's in my sig, I'll still tell you though.

It's a 9 inch Currie rear end with heavy duty 31 spline axles and housings. Traction-Lok posi with 3.70:1 gears.

:D

Dude that is sweet; it sounds like it is going to be a sweet ride when you are done.:)

Thanks Five0, I can't wait to get this thing done.

I actually think it's going to be done ahead of schedule. My dad and I could have the body done in 2 weeks if we worked every night all night and all day on the weekends. But we'll take our time and do everything right, and make the damn thing as smooth as a baby's bottom. It's going to be perfect. I wet sanded about half the car today. Just to get a start on it. My dad replaced the lower half of the quarter panel behind the wheel well yesterday. The body is very good already, not too many dings and no major dents. There is a decent amount of feathering that will have to be done, but that's no big deal.

I think I might get some ghost stripes put on the hood and hood scoop when I get it painted. I'll sketch a picture and post it on here when I feel ambitious. :(
