So the interior won't be done this weekend I don't think; since me and Loper are leaving the country in a few days.... but Thanksgiving timeframe I think we will ahve it on the road and off to the body shop for some paint.

really really nice work Kane...
cant wait to see the finished product...
:D:

I am even gonna stick the TriState Sticker on it for ya.... just don't tell on me. LOLOL

need pics of the wife leaning over it to spice up the thread a bit - heh

That can be arranged; go find it and add it to this one...

reppin the TSRC!!!....

wayyy cool!!

Nice gauge cluster - should be able to peg that speedo out, lol.

lookin forward to more updates! looks awesome kane

Looks like the Tranny housing might be cracked......... manual swap maybe?

We are still gonna start it today - but it may not be driving to the paint shop for a few more weeks.

No start - got a biggg intake backfire.

We ran out of day when it was all said and done... maybe after Thanksgiving.

does that mean your going to be rolling on wire wheels like chris tucker?:)

Keep up the great work Kane. This is one of my favorite threads!!!!! I have all the confidence that all the setbacks will be resolved with ease. rock on!!!

Cant wait to see the final stage. vette is going to look clean.

bummer about the transmission, wouldn't a M/T swap be a huge PITA? (it would be cool though)

Can't believe we're going to have to wait till after Turkey day to see more cool updates.

Well tranny swap is pretty easy since the car is OLD SKOOL; no computer issues.

That part may be waiting a few months either way because of money.

Loper left to the mainland today and I leave for Canada next weekend; and I was made to PROMISE not to start it without him even though I KNOW what the problem was (or I think I do); just have to advance the timing a bit and I bet it fires right up....... oh well; man-law and all - his motor he gets to turn the key for the first time.

I've got a video of why I love old electrical I will load later on....

Ready to Start........or not

fail. :banghead:

Yeah it sucks.... but hey we have nowhere to go but up right? LOL

updates?!

I just got home last night from a week in Newfoundland... so nothing much really - gonna try to start it tomorrow maybe.

I think I figured out what I did wrong on the timing, but I have to wait for Loper to get here; man law and all.
