I will take another TOP

just for you Tom

and

That is why I am bringing it. Screw the pickle fork, the BFH is more fun. That reminds me, I need to pack earplugs! Just got the call, I am off to "take pics"

Looking forward to seeing pics of this. Probably be at least a month. Have to strip the subframe, paint it, reassemble it, pull the motor apart and check all the bearing tolerances (supposedly it was just rebuilt, but since it is out I wanna see the inside and check it all out), fit a new tranny (TKO), install the pedals, deaden the interior, undercoat the bottom, fit the rims and measure for tires, put in the new rear end (after having it made), fit a new steering box, .... The list goes on, better make that two months. We should be driving it to the power tour though

Um, why no vacuum booster? Just too big of a cam? Budget, plus there seems to be a theory with the Wilwoods that it won't be necessary. My thighs will let you know in about three months. My guess is sometime next winter we will be adding a booster Your guess doesn't sound real far fetched to me... I drove the Galaxie with the ole Kelsey Hayes 4 piston front 2 rear without a booster for a while (well actually no vacuum) and it was a beyotch to stop, a real beyotch. Frank seems to think differently and Josh is far from a wuss, but we shall see.

Mixing subs is a terrible idea :( You really, really, really should NOT use that box. You need a new one that is very specifically matched to your sub.

I'm with Jim, your sub is the least of your worries; however, it is your money but a budget would be helpful. Not just for the amp, but for the sub, amp, and materials.

motherfucker Ah yeah. <--did yer mom

Some nice parts there Make sure you put that front sway bar in before the lower A arms. Ha, good point. Hotchkiss bar again IIRC. You know I ain't the F body guy? (It is an F body isn't it?) Yep, Camaros and Firebirds/TAs are F-bodies. If you forget to get that sway bar in first, it'll require a BFH to get it past the arm and it'll scratch the piss out of everything. I am bringing over my 10 lb'er to help get shit off, but I surely don't want to use it to put things back together.

The interior will be white. The front seats are being made now and the rears are having custom stitching done. His dumb ass would let me help so he is paying someone to do it. Personally I would have taken power seats out of something modern, but he is going to have stitched race buckets to match the interior. The white is going to look great in the car though with all the black.

Part number to be released for sale shortly as a standard though.

I think I spent his money. The brakes, the tires, the rims, all what I pushed for from day one. Classic & loud, but not over the top. It will be way more fun to pull fresh new stainless lines than to reuse the stock crap, I am glad it is ALL getting replaced. Next winter I am going to build him a custom dash and at that point I don't think there will be a bolt/screw left in the car that we haven't tweaked! If you haven't already ordered the SS brake lines, I've had good results with the Right Stuff Detailing stuff. Thanks, they were part of a complete kit of brakes from Frank @ Prodigy. Actually Josh is getting the second set of 6 pistons to go with the 12" rotors, a Wilwood special for Frank. The first set are the ones pictured above

Welcome to SSA!

I have found a handful that I would call "good". Santa Ana............yukkie!! Well, I have some tinted tail lights on their way. Should be here by Friday. I will take some pics when I get them installed. I usually stay in Laguna or Newport when visiting there. Otherwise I feel I am stuck in Woodbury, but with assholes instead of soccer moms.

Based on the blind followers who know very little about Obama, there is a very large number of young, weak minded sheep in in this country, so the research you mention is interesting. Technically there has always been a very large number of young, weak minded sheep in this country Maybe I did not realize how many there were. Even though I was on the road for nearly 2 years, it is still easy to forget what middle America is like, and that most people do not live in or around major metro cities I like have become used to I guess. It is pathetic and the sole reason that most of Europe and a lot of Canada, hell pretty much the rest of the world, doesn't have a high opinion of Americans. Our government doesn't help, but it isn't the driving force regrettably we are **looks around** they're in major metro cities as well My response was pre-Aaron's statement, I definitely meant MOST Americans not just rural ones.

Unfortunately, it seems most Americans don't have any sense of morality without a religious "big brother" figure. I am not so sure that is morality if you need a reason for having it.

All manual, no hydro, no vacuum. I am curious to see how that feels on the thighs.

His will have red calipers though (IIRC_

These are the FBird brakes

Between getting 4 boxes of cable shipped to me from monoprice and this I am going to be broke for a while. Perhaps I will have to sell some stuff.
