Title: A few pics of the History of my car

Pic #1

Jun 1st 1987

6 Cylinder Engine, Air, Power Steering and Brakes. Really not a bad car considering how un-cool it was.

Not to count the old 80's sunglasses I had, boy was I COOL.

The guy in the passenger seat now flies F-117's ;D

Pic #2

Second 400 in it. First engine I ever built since I couldn't afford anyone to help me this time.

Thanks Scott Delzer, Rob Morrow, and Greg Walker for helping me with my first motor. Too bad it had 3 mains spun before I ever had it installed.

It ran 8.50's at this point

Here is my car right before I pulled it apart this last time.

Who knows what it would run.

Here is the same engine I am going to run this time. But with a little stiffer bottom end.

Awesome pics! that's so cool to see the 'before'
btw, did you stain the dash or just replace it w/ a black one?

Replaced it with another tan one with no air holes. But I did stain the newer one black.
