    Well as many of you may already know I have been building a car for the past 3 years almost I have taken pics the whole way and I have thousands of them so be patient with me as I choose which ones to use. I have the car running right now as of the night before last still lots of work to do but hopefully be driving it again buy the end of the month. I will start with the car I chose to use.

    1988 Black coupe no option car, manual windows, locks,seats, no tilt steering, no a/c, no cruise control, factory mass air because it is a california car and you will see proof of it once you see under the car. LOL!!! damn rust but not on this fox. anyways the car is factory 5.0 5 speed car and is not an ssp car... is a born race car. she would out run most LS1 cars when she was stock. So I put on a Kenne Bell twin screw blower... and hated it. And so the story begins. I knew it was turbo or BUST from then on!

    Well guys a lot has happened in the last 10 months. I gave up turning a wrench professionally and went back to school full time for an engineering degree... been consuming all my time. I have had the car up and out. on the road again... no plates yet but soon. mainly a lot of financial hickups to overcome. I will bring up my pics let me know if you need pics of anything. I designed the turbo kit for it and I am not happy with it. I want full exhaust and there's no room with my hidden turbo system. oh well. car has a wolf 6pt in it now tool. just trying to tie up all the little cosmetic details. not a perfect car just a good driver that I can build on later.
    I am going to attempt to start posting pics for you guys
