    Cam and headers really woke that thing up! :Brow: You'll probably have to re-jet now that you have headers. Sounds really good!

    I guess i will update this story.
    The summer was great for my GS. Had a lot of fun and actually discovered a lot more potential.

    So i decided to clean the wiring more and added some easy accesable fuse boxes for 12v & 12v ign. Hook ups.
    So all Accessoires have a seperate fuse and wiring runs clean.

    Further i decided to paint the car new..
    THIS TIME THE RIGHT way.
    Plus i might put a black.vinyl back on since i like the look.

    Which lead me to a whole lot of sanding and preping.

    Here we are so far

    Car is ready to get send of for final bodywork primer and paint...
    Will take a couple weeks[​IMG][​IMG]

    I also scored front and rear bucket seats of a 05'GTO
    I know many chevelles update with these seats...
    They where much cheaper than vinyl skins for my bench and rear!

    Kid looks like you! I'm curious- I see that you redid the interior from when it was white (when I sold it) to black. Now you are going to the GTO interior? Cubic money!

    Yeah i died the white interior since there are no california white/cream doorpanels reproductions available..
    Further i always wanted buckets /sport seats.. And the GTOs was a $steal.

    I take my time... Doing it right...
    Thanks lil one is a blessing

    Hi
    I havent been posting in a while
    My car is in paint and i want a good job so i give him the time he needs.

    I also decided to go turbo..
    And i collected the fuel system parts already.
    Aeromotive 1000 fp
    Aeromotive bypass regulator
    And a robbmc pickup

    Further im planing on going Efi
    Most likly the Fitech power adder system.

    Since i have to do the interior 1st and sort out the turbo application... Most likly twin setup i decided to get the efi system.last since there is a lot of movement and updates on that market.... So i assume that possible bugs have been worked out by Fitech through a posdible Software update by the time im ready to pull the trigger.

    In the meantime i bought a future project "roller"!!
    I always wanted to do a LS swap but fidnt wanted to do it on the buick, so i got offered a 02 mustang v6 in black, pretty straight, motor runs just had alot of interior mold due to sitting alomg time for 350$.

    I always liked the lines of the. " new edge" but im not really a ford motor guy.. I prefer GM and since LS swaps inn mustangs have become so easy and common i want to build a "sporty daily" for myself.

    Probably with a truck 5.3 or 6.0
    Lets see...its gonna be a budget build.
    But i guess it will be fun.

    Funds for it are non existing since the buick comes 1st lol..

    So i have it sitting for now

    Looking good! Roll that car a few feet forward so the grass isn't under the rear it will cause rust...
