Both are black, color isn't an issue at this point. And in fact it was the only 87 down box vic there. I got really lucky. I'll be up to Scotts this weekend to get the parts. And reassembly will start soon after that. If all goes well, I should have it back together by the first weekend in august! THANKS IVAN! THANKS SCOTT!
    SCORE!!! Happy to hear you are well and the situation has a quick resolution! Bobby

            Rad support is cleaned up and ready for installation. Sitting in my basement drying since it was kinda windy/looked like it was gonna rain bad yesterday. It's covered in Rust-oleum Rust Reformer. As the other radiator support was done in. And it held that swiss cheese of a radiator support in one piece. Even in it's bent state lol. There probably won't be any pics until after Scottfest, mostly because I'm too lazy to take pics. So poo poo for you...

              The Vic that won't die. That car has been through some hell only to rise up again. Phoenix or Jesus would be an appropriate name.

              I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures taken during Scottfest too. I know I'll have my camera and usually come away with 100 some pictures.

                    At Skippyville again. Everytime I come here, it's so different. Anyway, the header panel and hood look very sexy. I can't wait to bring them home and get them ready to install on Vicky...

                        It's either Scott's yoda or Thain's S10. It's looking more like the S10. I'd rather be in that anyway. Since it has air conditioning.

                          Holy hell, I forgot to update the readers ride thread. The car is back together. Swapped the rad support, header panel and hood out Thursday.
                          Went to the junkyard today to pick up a wiper arm for passenger side since the other one stripped out on the transmission from getting caught on the hood -_- All is well now. I also managed to pick up a set of four hole 24lb injectors from a couple of Ford Taurus. I gotta get rebuild kits for them, I'm missing most of the pintle cap (hats) and I need new o rings.
                          Can't wait to see you mangs at Scottfest.

                                Alright, update time. I finally got Vicky to the dragstrip. It was super packed due to a rainy day on Tuesday. So I was only able to get one run in, 3 hours after I got there...

                                Well here's what she ended up doing. She ran a 15.5 @ 89.07mph. Her best yet. Sadly, no video this time. Next time I go I'll be sure to have someone filming. I'm pleased, but I know she can do better than that as is...
