Thanks fellas preciate the love, I have a few more interior updates that I will try to get on video in the near future, As much as I love the irocs I have been actually on the hunt for something a little smaller and lighter. I'll keep them around just incase I want to do some boulevard cruising :mrgreen: My trans is leaking and I debating if I should have it rebuilt or if I should pick up a 350 hughes racing transmission that my buddy is selling

I used a painless relay for the headlights btw

what kind of mufflers and tube size are you using? sounds great!!

Thanks, 2.5" exhaust, I picked up a pypes kit from summit with the x pipe. It has the street pro mufflers. I don't have the X-Pipe hooked up in the video, but once it's installed it will tone it down a notch.

Been raining like crazy today, if the weather isn't too bad tomorrow i'll start installing my Hughes transmission

Picked up my door panels, headliner steering wheel wrap and arm rest from the upholstery shop. Here are a couple pics. I'll make a new video soon that shows the headliner and steering wheel

I picked up the Hughes TH350 from my friend, picked up a Hughes dipstick, stall converter and a Hughes deep transmission pan to match. Just got all of this installed Friday night. Gotta get some gas in the tank so that I can take her for another spin
