Well I didn't realize when we got the tickets that row m was actually the front row. I've never sat in seats when I've been to a rams game, owners box or sideline only lol.


The hot wheels truck landed a backflip right in front of us. Pretty amazing to see

Soooooooooo the T/A is in a thousand pieces. I spent 3 hours in a parts washer tonight cleaning the internals and every other bit. Tomorrow we are cleaning up the heads and installing a new set of springs (old patriot golds had 25-30k miles, now goin with BTR .660s) Short block will be ready Saturday night, torque converter for my freshly built 4l80e will be here Tuesday, car back together by Friday of next week. Tune, then 3800 hard hit stall launches until I pop that ten bolt like a week old pimple.

Will definitely be hitting the track up this year. Hope to come as close to 11.0 as possible on the current set up.

Putting the motor together. This is the first motor I have assembled myself.

Not a great pic, but thats the new midwest chassis tunnel mounted torque arm. (4l80s dont have a trans mount for tqarm) Love this piece, its definitely going to cost me my rear end. You can see where the exhaust is cut off, for some reason the previous owner decided to go 3 inch collectors to 2 1/2 inch back to 3 inch. I will replace it all with 3 inch, w/ an electric QTP cutout.

Right before we mated the tranny to the motor.

I didnt get a pic of the shifter etc, but I fabbed up a cover for the tunnel, and did some tweaking and was able to mount the stock Auto shifter and console, looks stock as a rock you would never know. Really proud of myself for making that work so perfectly~

Car will be started tomorrow night, tuned on motor over the next week.. then the fun begins..

Thanks for all the pics. I love following build threads, especially on models I've never worked on myself.

Where are you at here? That lift looks like it's never been used.

The weekend after new years I'm scattering the 69.

I've got a shit ton of parts sitting around my wife has been buying while sitting at her desk. (She's ****ing awesome btw., who's wife does that? She could be buying clothes or some shit).

She wants to be driving it come spring.

And she bought a new radiator for the black truck and took the transmission for it to my buddy to get built.


She's not ****ing around another summer without a couple hot rods. We wanna start taking the kids to shows and cruise nights.

I'll post pics when we start.

We gotta hook up this year. The new job allows me freedom to be off Saturdays if I want. That means more car shows~
