We also need a new sig that properly displays the nice new moldings. And maybe you could have the new lip photoshopped in at the same time. I love the idea of a grey lip! Hell, paint the whole car grey if you want to.
I tried not to get the hilbillie in the picture but eh what can you do???:biglaugh:
After we sanded and sanded and sanded and then finished with liquid sandpaper. :cry:
We did prime them and then we went with a single stage finish.

Her engine bay looks like a stock 7m and it's nothing worthy of pictures. I'm sure we'll clean the bay up later but for now it's staying like it is. I think a new lip would look awesome on there if it was painted grey. I wonder who the lucky person is that gets to buy the new lip? Hello........anyone got a clue?
I just ordered Vonda's new transmission rebuild kit. I'm pretty sure she'll own me at the track with this little beauty. The rebuild kit was $600.00, and the valve body is going to cost another $600.00, but it should definately hold the power she's making. I'm guestimating her power at about 350rwhp, but we'll see once we get it running good. Here's the kit I ordered for her.

Less than mine is all I can promise you...........I do have to live with her until I ship her off to Kwnate's...........:biglaugh:
As for the power.....right now I'd say she's at around 350rwhp with the automatic. I'm going to buy her an electronic boost controller and then have it tuned and dyno'd to see where we're at. Later on she may get a T-66 from driftmotion, but for now she's happy with the way it is. I've just got to get it where she can drive it everyday without something new screwing up every day.
Kwnate, here you go. I left her a few air holes so she wouldn't be comotose whe she got there.

EDIT: It doesn't want you to have the tracking number, so you'll just have to check for delivery every day until she arrives.

So no luck finding a used tranny locally? Is that the same type kit that Ken used in the Red Rocket?

I'm excited. I've been babying it ever since we got the motor running, so I can't wait to see what it will do, when the transmission will hold.

I sent the valve body off today so hopefully it'll be there friday, and sent back by wednesday or thursday. I'm betting that with this new transmission and the car running as well as it has lately, that I won't be able to beat her in the 1/8th. I'll still own her on the streets, if we were the streetracing kind..............
The transmission just decided to not hold any power. If you punch it while going down the road, the only thing that moved was the tach. The motor would rev up quickly, but the clutches would slip horrribly.

I've notice my auto doing the same thing, well not as bad as V's, but I've expected it. When I punch it, the tach moves but it takes a few seconds for the car to get going. I'm running the stock GE tranny right now. When my neck finally heals up I can start working my part time gig again and get my GTE tranny rebuilt. I'll have the same guy who did my engine do it.

The thought to swap still crosses my mind every now and then but to be honest, I really like having an auto and as of now, I'm in swap burnout.
Same thing is happening with my auto atm also... Will be interested to see this when done, as it is something i definitely need to start looking at for my baby
