Great job on the Cutty. Its really coming along great. Are you going to put the AC unit back on the car. Take a Video of the start up of your motor, would be great to see. Thats great you got a 8.5 for $650, cant find them up here for that.
 
shitty weather this weekend so didnt get a chance to work on her, and no im deleting the AC out of the car, and as for the rear end i think i got a good deal on it, the guy wanted 900 for it but was able to get him down to 650$, hows your car comming along?
 
Thats a great price for that rear. Hopefully you get some better weather this weekend. Havent had that much time lately, did the front clip removed and motor pulled. Hoping to strip down the front suspension this weekend if i dont have to work.
 
here is an update guys, i got the cat started a few weeks ago and just started putting the body back together, here is recording of the car at idle, still needs to be timed, and have some fine tuning done, idling a little high... but here are some pics to share with you guys! starting to look like a car again lol
