dmyers151 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Maybe it is in backwards then? I'm pretty sure it's installed the same on the black car, no leaks I know of. Oh well, haha. Thanks Ryan, was a decent day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Progress has slowed drastically on this thing lately. I managed to clean up the engine bay some, and found my braided ABS delete line. My lady and I have just recently discovered mini-GP road racing... This may throw a wrench into the works of this resto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) ... and we're back on with this thing. Floor space has dwindled in the shop due to my own need for more 80's junk, haha.http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/fd7fb862.jpg In any event, I'll be slowly chipping away at this project over the winter. Probably going to pull the motor & trans so I can clean everything up. Do it once, do it right. Edited October 19, 2011 by dmyers151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosengrant826 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thought you had sold this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The buyer is going thru some personal and family issues at the moment. I'm gonna keep it for now and just do my thing, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Space has been reclaimed, and the townspeople rejoiced! Haha, I sold the Daytona, and bought a little Mazda truck for commuting. Should help me save a ton over driving my Ram 1500 back and forth:http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/663431e7.jpg Progress is slow but steady on the car, I pulled the hood off on Saturday night and began removing engine bay stuff to prepare for the big clean. Those are scrap 2x4 bits and a rag holding the hood latch off the windshield. Also you can see one super clean shock tower:http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/fc8a7509.jpg Got side tracked with a countershaft seal on my moto bike:http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/16b7de1f.jpg ...and putting a small cat in someones purse.http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/0cc5e2dc.jpg More updates as I get to them. I will say that's its a big confidence booster knowing you have a complete car to reference if things get hairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Finally got motivated and pulled the motor last night. Not too much of a fight. I must say, you guys that follow your builds super close must be washing your hands every five minutes, or have filthy cameras, lol. The bellhousing is caked with greasy crud.http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/cdf580e9.jpg We rolled the head lights up the other night out of boredom, makes the car look more optimistic, hahahttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/313ce498.jpg g54b cylinders make great cup holders.http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/6520a399.jpg I'm not sure what I'm going to do next, whether I should start putting the motor back together, clean up the engine bay, or pull the dash and replace the heater core. Either way, there will be progress, I've got some motivation now, and some ideas for what this thing will look like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89PalermoSHP Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 After studying the pics closely, I think with a bit of light scraping and cleaning the hand made pipe and steam roller should still be useable. Please tell me they left a little something to pack in it as well LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Lol, Jesse. There were some crumps left, but I just chalked them up as a lost cause. One of the guys from next door came by 2 weeks ago and drank one of those bottles though. I nearly s*** myself when I turned around and he's nearly done with the thing. I just kept them around as a joke, I thought dude was gonna die, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
