NEWBIE FROM NYC

[Street Lethal]

I guess my build thread is taking a life on its own

Woops, didn't realize it was a build thread. Didn't mean to hijack...

So, I've been quiet for a while. But I finally saved enough parts and $$ to treat my car to another Jim Dunn visit.

Here we go.


Brand new converter (10" LU 2800 stall), billet servo, and Hughes oil pan.










B & M tranny cooler









Kirban's super secret steering shaft

Old

Precision SLIC (excuse the mismatched houses and ugly clamps, these will be updated)



Have you noticed 3 rusty bolts? Jim did! They were painted for a clean look. Detail, detail and detail!

 

[LIVE4RDO]

Stock doghouse and RJC power plate (mine had some weird port job)









And treated her to new battery cables and Kirban's ignition wires.

Yeah, unfortunately TBSS is staying stock. No extra funds between the Buick and the Chevelle. And I also don't really want to void my extended warranty.

That's cool, I do miss mine

A little facelift for old gal. Found a great shop in Brooklyn, NY: Shurway Auto Center (Bay Ridge, Brooklyn). The manager, Vinny, is a muscle car guy himself and won't cut any corners, even if you ask. And their prices are very reasonable.

So,

1) Re-painted: hood (embedded bird shit all over it), header panel, SpoolFools bumper fillers, grill and headlight bezels

2) Replaced all body bushings with Kirban rubber ones

decided to keep all badges off, at least for now. I like the stealth look. Might even replace the original hood liner with plain one (the original is crappy).
