Well after showing some pictures of what ive been working on, i was told i should start a build thread.
I started off about five years ago with a mustang "ben motha fucking ledbetter"'s old car and loved it, i blew the transmission out after about a year and a half and it pretty much just sat. i thought i was going to go fast after that so i dumped all of my moeny i had into it, went to an automatic because people said it was just as fun as a stick if it had a manual valve body... needless to say that transmission was in for less than a week, i traded the automatic to another board member for a stock t-5. i started to get back into the mood to work on the car again until one day.... me my wife and a few friends were eating at mo brady's, after finishing up, we decided the girls would ride togeather then the guys should ride togeather. we were waiting at my friends house for them to show up for about fifteen mins, and then we get a phone call, someone had done a hit and run on my wife. and she chased her down got the plate number (some how with a bent rear control arm it scared the piss out of me driving it at fifteen mph). we reported it to the police, cops were very unhelpful, we called every day, to find out they had closed the case due to not enough evidence, finally we got someone to reopen the case, they found the girls car at a body shop, she said she hit a deer. changed her story a few times. at this time i was in school, had no job, and my wife was self employed and didnt show that she profited any money for the business so we didnt even try to get a loan. after this all happend i decided i would let the wife drive my nice truck since she needs somthing reliable, and traded the mustang for a dakota. after seeing the mustang loaded on the trailor and seeing it drive away it was very depressing, and instantly i wanted another one, one that would be bigger and badder than that one ever would be...
after months of serching for rollers, knowing i wanted to go big. i stumbled across an old "King of the street car", when i seen the car i knew i had to have it. this car was perfect for every reason, the price was great, the car was very clean, and it was a 89 just like my old one, knowing that this car had been into the 8's i figuared the body would be rippled a little bit and figuared it would be kind of rough. the car turned out to be better than i expected, and the guy i got it from was really cool to work with throwing a stock k member under it again, and even met me in dekalb (he was from indiana). i got the car for 500 dollars like this
