Update, Brother Kontinental Reggie (Hotwheel) fabed up a killer cross member/****** mount as I metioned before. I fially took some pics.
Then last week brother Kontinental Tyler (outlaw) through togther a custom dual exhaust along with his new shop partner Lux at CrushProff. Can't say anough good about these two and their shop. They picked up the car fabbed the exhaust, tuned the engine, change the plugs and oil, cleaned it up and delived it back to my house! All I sent it in for was the exhaust! Outlaw left me a little message on my name tagged drive shaft.
Got the Dash put back together, Spent last night putting new seals in the tailshaft and oilpan gasket, no more leaks!
Took her out for a drive around the hood, drives nice. Plenty of power, shifts good, stops good, steers good. Great feeling!
Next up new kingpins Then she should be mechanicaly ready to go. Lots of sanding in front of me but man it's getting closer and closer. The Olds windshield looks great, Thanks to help with the install from Fatluckys and Voneyeball. If any body wants to photoshop some color on her I need some insperation. More to come............
We also put 3 gallons of 115 octane Race fuel in the tank to pep up that old gas a bit. I just want to see you drive it a round in it, only been almost 3 years
