Thanks Vic!

I think it definitely looks better, but until I get the car painted (engine compartment and all) it's still kinda rough, but I still love this car.

Someday I'll make her pretty. Hopefully it will run better now.

Losing 100 pounds off the nose I now need to lower the front end.

Any issues with the headers??

Not at all. They fit good and have decent ground clearance. Patriot 1 7/8" and were under $500 from Summit.

I had to change mine. They were longs and scraped too often. I don't remember what I installed but they were a pain getting in. Especially around the starter and upper A arms.

They're tight at the a arm passenger side only, and easiest to install without most of the plugs in. Also worth mention is use of 5/8 plugs and 3/8ths header bolts. Someday when I'm rich I'll get a set of Lemons but these will have to work for now.

Not much progress. Got my 7/16's torque convertor bolts delivered and installed. Degreased, wire brushed and painted these brackets. I have to work tomorrow so that's probably gonna do it for this weekend.
