Finally finished my car!

Well after months of blood sweat and tears (of anger) I have finally been driving my car around!

Just a few little gremlins to work out and it is about done. I have noticed some cam surge with the hotcam when im putting around in traffic
but im attributing that to the 3:23 gears and my rpm gauge being off by about 250 rpms. But all in all its a whole new beast!
And im receiving more attention and compliments than I ever have even gotten before. It's quite disturbing actually.
But I just do what comes naturally and nod or give a thumbs up and showoff my new cam Some may hate me for it but I don't want to stick around unless its some really hot blonde...


Anyways ill post up some pictures and maybe an idle video? after I give her a claybar it and paint my drivers turn signals and my new door handle caps need painted. ( you'll see what I mean) It's real dirty from sitting for months
I really need to work on my steering wheel too always something to do isn't there?

You "finished" a car? I didn't think that was even possible!

I know I just keep changing things on mine, and can't wait for this winter for another teardown (engine out) for more horsepower.
