Default 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!

how it started:






motor swap time







flywheel/cltuch/pressure plate ready to bolt up new trans

gettin new skins



sandin er down


Rear-end Time



Masked these off, seein how i like the flames


cousins doin some taping


and heres how it sits today






so still a ways to go but...shes comin along

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!
