My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

Been a long time since I've updated. I haven't done much lately. The other day I had the car on a lift and could check out my front end. It really felt like a bag of crap going into corners even with bigger torsion bars and sway bars all around. I came to find out my idler arm had play at the bolt. Shimmed it with another washer and impacted it nice and tight. no more play. What was happening is I would go into a corner and my toe would change a bunch and that really made it feel not so good in corners. Anyway now it handles much better. The rear still moves around because of the stupid shackles and bushings in the back. the PO put stupid lift shackles on.

I also encountered a melt down the other day when the wiring from the alt fried. Common issue that I now experienced. I patched up the wire and ran other 10 or 12 gauge wire from the alt to the battery. Id like to go thicker in the future but this got me back on the road.

There are so many things I need to fix still on the car. But I have been driving the crap out of the car and not holding back regardless of the incredibly noisy 833OD. This thing makes every transmission noise possible. I think I've did at least 30 6,000 rpm burnouts and it just keeps taking the abuse. I can't wait to rebuild the non OD 833 I have, that thing will be bulletproof!

Lots of little things I need to fix still I am starting to make a mental list of them all. A big issue now is this car is now slower than my toyota. That will not do! Forced induction will be the next big modification.
