Nothing like a screaming mechanical over-rev to get your heart pumping a bit :shock: I'm glad nothing blew up! Jim

This last post is why I come to this forum - I want to see you in a reality show! :mrgreen: Jim

Thought you were going to say "So I realized that I could do really big sandwiches right on the premises!" :lol: JIm

Re: '84 Cutlass JY5.3, Custom Tick Cam, S400SX4-75, 4L80e, 3 Great progress, nice work, had to stop typing for a snack when I saw your sandwich! Jim

I love the sound effects from your daughter - you got a future hot rodder on your hands, there! How's the car run? Also wondering how long that bone will last - you should take bets - I'm thinking 1 year 2 months. Jim

Good progress and pictures. Love how the paint turned out! Jim

Nice job, I like the motor's color combo - you won't ever run into one that looks the same either! Jim

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio How it looked when I finished the night: Looks like I'll need to relocate the #8 coil inwards maybe an inch - pretty easy mod. I thought clearance was going to be more of a problem with the AC. Took off a bunch of the remaining...

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Thanks. With the adjustable suspension I expect it to be competent at everything but it is definitely set up more towards handling/AutoX/road race. It took a little dancing between the height of the jack under the car, the hoist...

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Got a decent amount done today and ended up with the motor and transmission mated for the first time. Yesterday after work I cleaned the transmission and shot it with clear as well, also the cast transmission cover that goes on the bottom...

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Lots going on, working on different sections, waiting on a couple parts, stripped a special locknut so I'm waiting for a replacement (old torque wrench way out of spec) before I can button up the driver's side front suspension &...

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Made some progress this weekend. Got the new proportioning valve for 4-wheel disks in there, cleaned all the brake plumbing and blew it out with air pressure. Painted some brackets, only the modified transmission linkage one shown here...

Wheels look great and I love that rear bumper/light upgrade. Jim

Nice score on the nose, dig those lights. This car will build up well - nice lines. Jim

Looks mean! Nice work. Jim

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Thanks. Washed the inner liners really well with a citrus degreaser and scrubbrush, then I scuffed them lightly with 400 grit sandpaper, the hit it with 3 coats of Rustoleum satin black enamel. Let it dry for 2 days then rubbed it...

Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio Getting it back together after the firewall and removal/repaint of the inner fender liners: Made a gasket for the TNT manual brake bracket out of FelPro gasket sheet because I didn't want to leave it unsealed but I also didn't want...

Nice idea with the lights - have you seen how it looks lit up? Jim

Nice and beefy looking. I love the paint color and the quality of the finish looks sweet! JIm

Nice work! Jim
