Project: POS

[Jasperstang308]

so i havent really posted in a while and thought i would give you a little update. For those who dont know this is the POS

as you can see i have my work cut out for me. The goal for the car is to have a lightweight, stock motor car that can run 12's in the 1/4. Now to the good stuff. Here are some parts ive had for a little while.

Diamond Factory stock pistons .040 over

Kirkey aluminum drag seats

Strange 33spline spool

For shits and giggles

Flaming River manual rack and steering shaft

Fiberglass trunk lid

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now originally the car was suppose to be getting a 4v mod swap done to it
4v motor

03 cobra heads

i also had a set of 97 cobra cams to go along with it. However i lost my job and had to sell everything that related to my mod motor swap. now everything is good and the money i had saved up i decided to start buying parts again and decided i was wanting to go the 5.0 route so i like i said i starting picking up some parts

Stock heads

Racecraft C/C plates

Racecraft Bump steer kit

Racecraft 2in drop spindles

Team Z k-member kit

1in shorter a-arms

Coilovers 12in 150lbs springs

Strange front struts

My secret weapon

New wheels

I know it still looks bad but at least now it can roll haha. That was all pretty much one shopping spree.




Then i started on the rear of the car.

Team Z rear suspension kit

New hood

Now at this point i was just needing to get the interior pulled out, seats, and the sound deadening the car is heading to the fab shop for through the floor subframe connectors, torque boxes welded up. and a chromoly tubular support


Strange rear shocks

Torque link

Vic jr intake

Then one of my friends told me if i helped him clean up his garage then he would help me start tearing into the car. we got the garage cleaned out and just waiting for the day our schedules work so we can get my car over there.

on the way over there

[Jasperstang308]

Subscribed. Keep up the good work bro!

thanks. i was going to try and start working on the interior tonight but with the good rain we had my friends garage saw about 3inches of water

 

[NXcoupe]

Man that sucks about the water! Well, for what it's worth, my car in my avatar started out just about like this one of yours, it took me many years and a lot of $$ to get it finally where it is today. It at least had some black paint on it that was kind of well not really shiney. lol. You have thought this out long and hard and bought some good parts, let's see it get together and go down the 1/4!

alot of money is right. the rear end should start coming together pretty fast now after i talked to the guy today. i found a shortblock im hoping to pick up this weekend. this may hold me over with a little spray haha

 

[NXcoupe]

Shoot, with mine a little spray turned into a lotta spray! I only run a 94 jet now. Not as much as we were allowed in the old days. But you know, I go faster with less juice, funny how that works, huh? Yeah don't skimp on the rear end. I put mine damn near in the tree at Reading PA when my axle tube broke and twisted around, pulling one slick forward and the other slick towards the rear of the car. sucked.

 

[Jasperstang308]

did a little bit of wheeling today. so i got the tailights i wanted for the car. my buddy also had a busted shortblock im getting for free so now all i have to do is buy the rods i need for my rotating assembly or find some cheap stock rods one

 

[Jasperstang308]

i got the front seats, rear seat, e-brake, and center console arm rest (which is surprisingly heavy), and some of the insulation out tonight. i need to get some of the star sockets to get the rear seat belts pulled out.
