Well, with the 700r4 geometry corrector bracket installed the car is driving so much better. The cable still needs adjusted, for some reason however the cable won't click when being adjusted (it use to from the same position). The steel fuel line that runs along the block that use to create vapor lock has been wrapped in 2000 degree heat wrap so that problem is now fixed. There is a miss in the engine. One cylinder sounds like it isn't firing, like there is a silent gap in the exhaust note whenever the engine is running. Lastly, I need to order an electric choke conversion for my qjet as it is the only thing preventing the car from running well when hot. (don't look at the picture, the car isn't done yet)

Did you not read!? "don't look at the picture!" I'll take some fancy shots in a while when the car is finished.

A PICTURE OH MY GOD.

Fuel is no longer boiling and stuff so I can't complain. There is a miss in the engine though. One cylinder sounds like it isn't firing for some reason.

Not sure about that?

The car is looking awesome BTW. Time to get you a sweet hat, boots, and Sally Field.

Sounds good, Haha and less expensive either way. Those niggles can be sorted out.

I violated your no looking at the picture rule. It looks great.

I will now 3d print a mask of your face and steal your identity.

I read it.. I just would rather not adhere to it and stare at the lovely F-body.

What's left, decals?

It needs to finish being aligned, it needs buffed, the shaker base still needs to be built (I need a custom one), and then decals.

Thanks! I'll take some fancy shots with my dslr once she is finished.

Awesome! I smell a photodump. If there's a bird, I needs to see it.

I was just telling my girlfriend that I dream of owning one of these someday. T-tops, big engine, bird on the hood... Mmmm.

Make it an LSx, throw in the harness, a huge ass blower, and all the bits for a manual swap and you have a deal.

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > Bandit 05/22/2014 at 20:06

1 LSx and 1 Tremec.

You say the car isn't done yet as if the car could possibly be done. There will always be something.

This means that it's OK to look at the picture now.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't blatantly ignore you and stare for minutes at that beautiful car and instead ask why you want to lose 50 pounds over summer since you look pretty skinny to me?

I was so confused... that was awkward. When the car is finished I'll take some nice shots and post them.

Nope. The panels still need aligned correctly, the paint hasn't been buffed, and there are no decals on yet.

Yea my bad I was tired and talking to you and the other guy at the same time and confused myself. The car is gorgeous though.
