    Hi Kevin,
    No I haven't put them in yet, other projects to finish first. I have seat covers, carpet, new seat foam etc... on the way. When it all gets here I'll gut it all and do it all at once! :TU:
    Yeah the wheel wells are full...maybe a little too full. But I love it!!


    Thanks Cody, I'm pretty happy with it overall! :TU:

    Will do Kyle, It's really nothing special. It's not finished but I'm getting very close. Still has cheesy mirrors. I hate em.

    Wow. So when you're doing 70mph your speedo says what, 45mph? :error: :laugh:

    The 3 spd was floor shifted. It was super easy to convert to the 4 spd. :TU:

    I'm not sure about that, is that what it works out to be? I think I'll take my GPS out and check.
    :Do No:

    Ok so just in case anyone was wondering. Ken's post got me wondering just how far off my spedo was. So I took my GPS out and checked it. The speedometer reads 1.5 to 2 mph slower than actual speed with the 325/50-15's on the back.

    Wow! That's a LOT better than I thought it would be. That's not bad at all.

    You must have all the stock drive train I guess right? Like rear gears and such.

    Pretty much, stock rear and a muncie 4 speed out of a Cheby. It was 3 spd when I got it.

    I've always been amazed at how undesireable (for obvious reasons, but...) a 3 speed is in comparison to it's rarity. That's one rare ride man. Did you hold on to the original 3 speed?

    No, I threw the tranny out a few days after I got the car. :Dou: Not my swiftest move :Dou:

    So I got all my seat covers, pads and carpet installed. I'm still waiting for my chrome seat trim and a few other pieces to arrive so not done yet but getting closer.
