Well, got a good part of the front end mocked up but had to send the sway bar back, somebody can't read blueprints I guess.  In the mean time I got the motor all cleaned up and painted with some goodies!... Camera took a $hit 3 weeks ago and ordered one but as usual it was back ordered  should get it today, if it comes I'll post some pics over the weekend!...

Got the upper and lower A-Arms on, nice bolt in deal, hope to get the rack in today then start on the brakes!..
Got a set of Mercruiser covers from a boat junk yard in OK, he had a few sets don't look too bad, a little TLC and they'll look like new!.
Also picked up an intake manifold!..
Got the motor all cleaned up and painted, the oil pan was beat up big time but hopefully I got it straightened out enough and it don't leak!.. The thing was sitting for 10 years and the oil seperated and had no body left to it at all, it was just like water and the bottom of the pan looked like it was full of tar, makes for very short bearing life along with everything else, but I got it all drained out as much as I could, I'll run it for an hour with fresh oil to wash it out then dump it, then it should be ok!. I did pull a mian and rod cap and the bearings look like they just came out of the box, so it is a good motor!...

BTW, big brown dropped this off yesterday!.

Heck I lost track of what I got in it, I'll dig out the receipts and add it up, kinda curious myself now!.. It's not that much considering what you have over the factory junk front end. I take it the thing is all wore out just like mine huh? But if this is strictly a 1/4 mile car, there are alternatives that are not as pricey and really just as good!. I replaced everything even the steering column there is nothing left from the factory on mine, I could have kept the steering column and the upper A-arms, just didn't want to spend all the time cleaning and rebuilding them, didn't really need a rack either, Â just cleans everything up and makes it nicer on the road!..

Cool car!. Looked through the paper work and it's right around $2700 for the whole works, that's from the steering column to the brakes, but the CBR kit is the big expense but I figured since I was buried in this thing I may as well go all out on it!. But for a 1/4 mile car you can do it for almost half, even changing to a rack you can use the factory cross member, then you can use a rear sump pan. Oh, and you don't need a fancy tilt column either!..

Sorry to be a huge disappointment guys, but it's a bone stock 194ci, far from a weekend warrior!.. Mileage is a priority with this thing!..
Got the break components painted yesterday, think I'll start on the tranny while I wait for the paint to cure!...

Just how far away is your grocery store. |
About 2 blocks away, but who said anything about groceries!. The Toy is for that!.

2 blocks, that is probably close to a 1/4 mile.
Toy might be the grocery getter for now, watch how fast that changes.
