Junkyard dog just got out of surgery earlier today. She is still in a coma as she has to have 2 more surgeries before she can come home. Here are a couple pics from the operating table:

Hey man..thx. It 'looks' like it's going to stick out a ways, but the radiator is exactly in the stock location...pretty trippy eh? Front end will be stock dimensions.

---

awsome, ya that is totaly trippy, it looks like it should stick out like a foot longer then stock.

That will be one bad ass race!!!! Let's race for some In N Out or Cattleman's on the drive home!

I'll take cattleman's since you'll be buying. Good thing I have a small appetite.

The block is just polished up a bit. 8 piston implants to bring up the compression and I'll be ready.

Greg, I just don't have the heart to cut up my car like yours. You keep saving weight and I'll keep adding power. I called you back , you never answer either.

You'll probably run a 7.90 to my 8.80 and I'll still win cuz I'll be at half track cuz you will still be 'spooling it up'

I'm glad you have a small appetite. I'll finish eating your meal so I won't feel like I had to pay a debt if you do win

Uh oh...add HP instead of cutting? I like the logic...but my plan is to cut the weight AND add HP!!!!

I called you back yesterday home skillet and you did not answer. Its tag time and you are it!

Maybe while the motor is out you could just throw a new one in with the distributor in the front????

I picked up a Glasstek front end...one piece for fenders/nose with a 5.5 lift off hood that extends to the windshield like the one I ran all last year.

Now I am debating to put in real headlights or run the tiny ones with lil stickers over where the stock headlights 'should' go. It's already a multiple color car with a wing...might as well just go full import HAHAHAHAHA sticker power!!!

definetly go with the little low foglights

i wouldn't even rin stickers, just leave it the way it is from glasstek

i can't wait to finally see this beast in person!
personally i'd get the headlight stickers, at least make it look like a street car

I'm going to call Glasstek in the AM tomorrow to see if they have the 'headlight stickers'. Anyone else know where I could get those? I was actually gonna have my fab guy fab the stockers back in there...but considering I have weight - hellllllll no....sticker time
