Fired Up

I fired her up yesterday! Sounds freaking awesome. The 383 runs perfect, there's a lot of tweaking and tinkering left to do though untill she's right. I've been pushing pretty hard to get to this point and I'm going to continue untill I can get her to on the road a bit to work out the bugs that I know are there.

Body Drop

Happy New Year! To kick off 2008 I got the body back on the frame. I was seriously getting sucked into to every little detail and just finally decided enough is enough already. Everything went real smooth getting the body back on it, no issues at all. The front bumper was acting up a little but a couple of taps with the hammer and an all put that to rest. Still got an enormous amount of work to do but getting the body back on is a huge motivator for me.

After doing a bit research I'm looking at a crankcase evacuation setup and a vaccum reserve bottle for the ride the bottle will be a nice component for making sure the brake and headlights will have neccessary vaccum. I know they don't increase vaccum but to have a constant supply should address any issues. Decided against going with a common PCV setup. I have nice Sanderson hot rod headers a 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust and talk about free flowing mufflers there aint nothing inside them that I saw that would case any backpressure. I will continue to do my homework on this but I'm alredy kind of sold on this setup so it's going to take something signifigant to change my mind.
