Well i decided to get some ss lines to replace the rusty brake ones in the bay from jnz i must admit these are really nice and look amazing under the bay with all my other siiver stuff i would say. I decided to replace my plastic bushings with some bronze ones from a fb member . Decided to try to save my hood so a bit of bondo and sanding is in the works, alogn with getting it straight as possible, since no shootout decided to to fix some stuff i hate looking at, The head is at the machine shop to get fixed, then my kiggly racing valve train is going in, lapping the valves, and kelfords 272s being installed in the weeks ahead.

This was in the works for a while the bottom is being worked on should be a little rocket.

Body work in progress, hopefully I'll paint this year

 

[92AWDHX40]

today I sand blasted my frame next step us to install my manual rack and get new bushings and tie rods. Its got etching primer in now later 2 costs of black satin duplicator color paint.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Nice work. Man! This is almost a full resto. Painting the under of the subframe sucks because of the different angles and crevices. I painted one side at a time, bottom then top. It’ll be so satisfying once you’re done with the subframe and it’s back on the car.

 

[92AWDHX40]

,Well its been a while but its finally almost done, my buddy pldsm, rafal hes became good friend here a two hours away. He has really helped me out ive built a engine before. This time he and i worked on this thing here and there. Weisco pistons, manley h beam, kiggly girdle, no balance shafts. Decked hot tanked, primed, painted, new oil pan, 12 an fittings for my hx40 i built . This has all specs with it, and matches the one he built for his 700 hp, engine..Dynoed on force enginering dyno, which mine will be hitting later. So im really excited this dsm has all the goodies i ever wanted and more. More updates coming.
