The 2dr....Finally on the road again

[Mercmarquis]

Well it aint much, but its pretty fast and loud. Thats about it. All the shiney shit aint shiney no more cause of it sittin for almost 3 years.

Transmission issues are worked out and no leaks.

Theres also 2 pics of my truck with the hopped up 300.

Fuck yeah. What a sleeper! Those tires are probably worthless, though...

What gears in there?

Made any passes, yet?

[gabegt90]

nice pete I assume your going to do a few runs at numidia during scottfest?

[87gtVIC]

Awesome. Can anyone say gutted?

[Mercmarquis]

You are correct about the tires being worthless, just junk i have laying around. The bullitts I had on it have no rubber left. Not even sure if I want to run them anymore.

It has 3.27's with a trac lock, pretty much stock...
I just started driving the car again, I've only taken it down the road about 5 miles testing the jet changes and Acc pump shit. It needs alot of tuning but its getting real close to being perfect. I have no idea what it will run or what will break if I try to run it lol.

Still havent decided on that yet, I have a strong feeling catastrophic failure will rear its ugly head on my axle or u joints.

Well its gotta happen sometime.

[Mercmarquis]

Gonna sit on the floor lol?

[88Vic]

Nice, cheapest seat you could find right? :lol: That a ratcheting shifter?

Are you gonna leave even the fenderwells out? I would guess you don't plan on driving it in the rain so you won't have to worry about puddles soaking the wires. And is it just me or is the front bumper a bit lower than it should be on the left side.

Oh one last thing: videos

[Nathan in MI]

The bumper looks level to me - I think your perception is just being thrown off by the fact that the rubber guard is a bit loose on the left side, so it makes it look a bit crooked.

By the way, Pete, the car looks great. Virtually stock on the outside, which is perfect, given what's under the hood.

I know it was discussed before, but are you sure about wanting to leave the inner fender wells out? Seems like they'd be awfully nice to have there for keeping stuff from getting thrown into the engine bay by the wheels.

I'm looking at the last pic of it before the pic of the front of the truck, looks like the actual bumper hangs just a tad too low on the very left edge, could just be my eyes though. Not like it's a big deal, you have to really stare directly at it to notice.
