Dude! NICE!!!!!

Keep the tips i'm liking them! How does she sound now that its outdoors? Also what the heck did you do to bring back those 1/4 mouldings? they look amazing!

Ddddaaaammmmmnnnn

WLDHRSE · Jun 2, 2010

Were the 1/4 windows that good to start, or did you work some magic on them?

Very nice so far!

NIKwoaC · Jun 2, 2010

Dude, I think it looks great so far. I agree with you, though, the tailpipes need adjusted. Are you going to put more of a slash cut on them?

Chrome_Rust · Jun 2, 2010

Wow! that bumber looks ALOT different from when I had it.... Looks damn good bro!

SVT32VDOHC · Jun 2, 2010

Thanks guys.

I did prime, sand, paint, clear the quarter window moldings, the trim around the door, windshield, backglass...everything...cowl. ect... New door handles as well.

The tips do need to be cut on more of an angle. I cut them to get the right length sticking past the bumper, now I need it on more of an angle....

I'll post more later, I gotta run again...super busy with deliveries....back on the road I go!!

It's getting lower. Everytime I add weight it gets lower. It also got lower from simply pulling it out of the shop and circling around the parking lot. Once I get a few miles on it, I know it'll come down more....plus I still need to add the front sway bar, front bumper, lights, and the complete interior.

I was gonna buy some Steedas for it, but Hack Job rode very rough, and I'm not so sure I want to have a low rider again. We'll see.

x2....Even Hack Job sat up very very high with the Steeda Springs until every possible pound was on the car. It sat the same height as this car with stock springs without the engine, trans, interior and doors, then it came down little by little. Obviously, that car was slammed, and this car will not be, but the seats with the power tracks weigh a lot and so does the carpet. Console, panels, quarter trims, bumper sway bar will add a tad too....not as much, but close.

looks awesome man..loving it...the car should sit lower once its got the weight in there and u start driving it

SVT32VDOHC · Jun 4, 2010

It won't be long. This weekend I'm going to try to get some interior panels painted. I gotta finish the GXP too. Got the dash back in that car, need to assemble the front headlights, mounting panel, bumper cover and paint that. I also want to repaint the front cover on my 02 GP. Gonna try and sell that within the next 2 weeks, and I got two big chips on it. Should do that first to recoupe some cash that I got into this project and the GXP.

SVT32VDOHC · Jun 23, 2010

Still here guys. Have no motivation once again to work on the car. I just got back from Vegas from a 5 day trip. The 98* heat there is nothing compared to temps in the 70's and 80's here in Michigan. The humidity here is disgusting.

I also finished up her Grand Prix GXP before I left too. That thing is wicked fun to drive. Just smoke shows the tires in 1st gear, it's got the tap-shift and the big brakes. Mod Fox should be coming home soon. It's driveable but still needs an interior and a detail job. I'll try and finish it this summer, but I have such a hard time wanting to work on it now that summer is here.

heat sucks, heat + humidity sucks waay waaaay more.

Oh you got that right!!!

Vegas 98* 10% humidity.

Detroit 78* 77% humidity.

I'll work in Vegas out in the sun before I'd work in a shady spot in Michigan.

stykthyn · Jun 24, 2010

hmmmm...... lately we have had 100+ degree days with 98% humidity here. No wonder my fox still isnt finished. A couch and a cold beer is just much more enjoyable right now.

FoxGT87 · Jun 24, 2010

yeah right now we are a high of 94 with 72% humidity, yesterday we reached a heat index of 112* damn florida

Prime Lord · Jun 27, 2010

I tell you what, you sure don't disappoint on a project. That thing looks AMAZING!!! And it succeeds in making me feel like **** for not having washed and waxed mine every weekend. hehe. Keep up the good work!

Humidity has been really high here as well.

I siliconed the shifter in the tranny Friday....might be bringing it home this week. Uh-oh... The GXP wants to race it. My money is on the GXP.
