We'll work is in progress to get her body back into in shape. We've pretty much been scavaging around here and there looking for parts at dirt cheap prices. So far everything is good... except, a new adition has been added..... Juice Juice Juice baby! 100 shot spray and keeping the Blower at 8psi

Now that I have currently 3 cars..... we'll two, the Honda still wont start for some odd reason... The decision has come for me to decided..... Turn the Bumboclaat into a a mainly Strip car.... or keep her a Strip/Street car.


If she does become a Strip car I'm going to call THR on monday to rip out the front seats, radio, and a/c. We'll see.

Reason being I just took a 1900 mile road trip from New Jersey back down to Texas in my Avenger and averaged close to 500 miles a tank........ I love the Bumboclaat and I love just joy riding her to Walmart and showing her off but damn.... Gas is a killer.

Yea..... thats where my heart is leaning towards right now..... Strip/Street but mostly Strip. I have the finances right now to either order Two Racing seats..... or One Racing seat and put the saved money towards a new K-Member or TKO-500.... I'm also debating on the Tranny part too..... As Code prooved to us the 3650 is a strong tranny in the right hands...

Serious? lol..... I had some great memories in that car...... Your going to have to excuse the stains all over the consel and steering wheel..... High School car and parents where always home..... you do the math! lol.

But I'm hoping to use her as an experiment. She just seized up for some reason. Oil change, tune up, spark plugs, everything was done to keep her from croaking but that one fateful morning, she just wouldn't start up no more.

500 miles is good as hell...I could be reading the post wrong but that's like 32 MPG.
