Not really a build thread but heres my project...
 
So i figured id put up some pics of my car finally and show what ive been working on. Its only been a few months but between limited space and being a full time college student, she's come a long way. Have done a complete motor swap(sig says what it is) grabbed new-used t-5, just did a gear swap...2.73's to 4.10's :) threw a quick matte on it, etc. So it's coming along quite nicely,its nothin like some of the builds people have goin on but its been fun. il keep postin pics as i move along, let me know what ya guys think!

nice flames man

bballmac42 04-26-2010 07:14 PM

thanks guys, its been a learning process for sure. and the flames lol, thank you! i know a lot of people arent a fan and im usually not either, but i think it breaks up the matte nicely, and for my first time doin it, i think they turned out ok!

bballmac42 04-27-2010 11:45 AM

haha thanks man, really havent named er yet...shes not quite the street machine enough to get one yet lol

mjr46 04-27-2010 04:24 PM

why didn't you spend a little time cleaning and painting the motor you put in??

bballmac42 04-27-2010 04:58 PM

haha valid question MJR, being too anxious is the answer to your question. I figure im not gona rip it apart right now and paint it the way i should, and i dont want to half ass it by tryin to tape stuff off and then itd look worse so....just wanted to get her put together and running for the time being :)
