Yeah, it's been a while. I took my car to the paint shop back on December 31, 2007. One excuse after another and I finally got it back.

The paint job only cost me $1800. He cut me a deal since it took him so long to finish it.

As far as the 347 goes, it needs a tune very bad. The stock computer isn't cutting it.

Here are some engine pics.







Here's an old video of the car at idle right after I finished the 347 build. Please excuse the crappy rear bumper. As you can see. I ditched it not long after this video was shot.

 

looks good. I'm getting tired of the straight black paint on my car as well. I'm thinking of adding racing stripes or something to it.

 

Thanks Pro, I just hope I can get mine to move as fast as yours. Mine seems very sluggish. I hope a chip will help this little problem.

 

get that thing tuned and whats all done to the motor again?

 

I love the look of your engine. The black and gray go great together. But are you sure you don't miss the british flag lol? Its america's version of the mini!

LOL, no I don't miss the flag. HA

 

is it me or are the body panels not lining up?

AND

looks like a very nice engine combo, is that a 3 row aluminum rad? with only one bracket holding it LOLOOL

 

Hey man, nice paint job, what kind of paint and clear did you use on it?? Did you pull the motor to paint the inside of the engine bay or cut it in?? also are you inner wheel wells on?? i can like see the concrete through some pics... Do you have any guess on what horsepower this brings??? thanks alot.. good job on the paint..

 

Yeah, some of the body panels don't line up just right. I thought the 89 - 90 was the same, but they don't seem to be.

And, yes that is a 3 row rad that I had in the car at one time. Now I have another one in that's wider then the one in the pic.
