Currently working on some fresh pics, but if you guys go to the RADTEKSOLUTIONS link in my sig, there are pics of it at shows, prior to the motor rebuild. I had all supporting mods, except the bottom end parts already on the car at this time. My rings and clutch went out about 2.5 years ago, and my mechanic took forever to rebuild bottom end, and finish valve job on top end. Then my transmission went out after putting the HKS 4.11's in here about 2 months ago. Transmission is currently at Jacks Transmissions in Colorado getting the drag build. So as soon as it is back in the car, I will have fresh pics for you.

These pics are of the last show I did prior to rebuild. I noticed my HKS Filter and Dejon intake are not in the car yet at this show. These pics do not really do justice. But I will take a full array of pics as soon as it is out of the shop.

Remind you, this has been a 5 year project, saving, ordering, installing, waiting, etc. The last 2 years has been a pain in the ***, but the light at the end of the tunnel is drawing near. Here are some various pics taken 3-4 years ago, installing several various parts. This is myself, the grey haired mad scientist mechanic, and a couple buddies one night at the shop.
