I'm one week from having my car completely done as far as the drivetrain is concerned. I still have little things to do but man it's been a long, frustrating, agonizing, expensive year and a half. I'm really proud of this car. I learned so much building it that I'm completely comfortable doing this on my own once I get my garage and lift built into my house. On this update we completed the rear end swap, disc brakes and abs proportioning valve. I also got my rims powder coated and waiting on my tires to come in from bf goodrich. One more week brehs and I'm cruising at dangerously high speeds not giving a fukk. The next part of this build will be my audio installation.

For those that show me love on this car build I appreciate it. I ain't ballin but I'm doing something I love and building something I've always wanted as a young breh playing my car with my lil homies back in the day.

Phase 2
Audio and Interior

With the car running good I'm going to make a couple of upgrades to the transmission with a stronger pressure plate. The clutch slips from the stock 87 corvette pressure plate I have in it now which was a temporary install. I got a Ram Street Racing pressure plate that handles up to 500 HP so I'll be more than good.

Then it's just making everything clean under the hood.

Then I'm gonna work on the interior which isn't much. I'll put some pics up tomorrow. The car is in great shape inside besides the cracked dash so this isn't gonna cost much which will make my bank account happier until I get to the Audio :mjcry:

I have a Sundown X12 that I'm gonna keep and get reconed with better spiders. I was gonna buy another X and put two in a box but I think one is good enough for my sized car. Plus I want to lower the car and that's too much weight. But that's later down the road. I need to buy a mono amp and a 4 ch amp with speakers. For my mono app I'm thinking about going to the Shark Audio 2500. It's should push that Sundown plenty but I'm up for suggestions. Im not in the audio game like I used to be so if anybody can help out that would be wassup. I'm going with a double din deck that I got stashed away in my closet somewhere still new in the box. I think it's a Sony. I just dont know the model right now. I just got to buy a bezel so it can fit on the dash which has to be custom made and it's 80 bucks:childplease: for some fukking plastic.

I'm gonna chill this memorial holiday weekend and work on my car so I'll post up some pics of the progress. I'm gonna stay off these streets and relax on some old man shyt:flabbynsick:

Had to drop the transmission today to fix an oil leak at the rear main and install a stronger pressure plate. I also installed new MSD plug wires. My amp and component speakers are being shipped and should arrive this upcoming week and I'll get started on my audio.
