I modified an s10 bake pedal and used a chrome cowl mounted PB reservoir and booster.Car will need some staightening on fenders, body really nice.I want to put the car together, be able to drive it.l can work on the body later and replace glass.I airbrushed bikes long ago and think I can do something nice on the paint.The stereo had to be the first thing working,big amp with 2 x 12'',2 x 6/9, 2 x6'' speakers, couldnt get 6x9 in front doors.Interior will wait until body and paint are done.By the end of Oct l have car together,towed to a garage to help bleed brakes and fire it,Think a day will do? NOT. Holley carb pissed, simple to rebuild but still pissing, bought an Edelbrock carb.I drilled rack end to set screws on steering joints,guess what ? PS fluid poured out the set screw.TCI said the tip was solid and no fluid there,not so there is a torque tube in the input shaft and its hollow-dont drill these.No end to the brake line leaks.Took me a week to fix everything.Round 2, fire car runs nice first try,bleed brakes, trany not taking fluid.The hotrod shop had put the flex plate on backwards and hadn't connected the trany convertor... so close to going for a drive, get it fixed and running.I drove it into town with open shortey headers with short pipes to get exhaust done.I put the old running boards on, have new ones.Chassis engineering says rear springs will settle, but may need lowering blocks.2 '' drop spindles on front, I want the car loowwww.Finally get to drive it,seems to ride hard like it did stock, guess I didn't need sway bars? ;o) I haven't got the hood or grill on yet,but I'm drivin' 'er.Notice: girl dogs don't pee on tires.
Edit: ride got softer and smoother after being driven,guess springs needed to break in.
