Default Progress on Project STROKER!!!!

Well I towed the good oll 5.slow to a friends house with a much bigger garage then mine. This is how yesterday went for me:

Change the tune in my race truck from "street race" to "tow"


Make sure i strapped her down nice and tight:



Take the car for a serious hell ride to get the good oll adrenaline pumping then park it in the garage to start ripping her apart:



Before engine bay pic:



My little brother tagged along to lend a "shocking" hand... lol



A short while later:





Getting ready for the super pull!!!



Comes out like a glove!!!



4 hours from start to finish:



What do you guys think???

Next weekends project:

Thanks guys, i appreciate it. What do you think of the engine bay?

1. paint the entire engine bay black w/ POR 15 and powdercoat all brackets silver

OR

2. leave engine bay red and powdercoat all brackets black

Thanks
