Way to go Phil! Moving towards the final phase.
I love the way it looks in it's current condition. BADGELESS! No emblems, no badges, no stickers. I wouldn't mind the rear bumper being nameless either.
Personal preferance though.
I love the way you can see down the block and across the street in the paint.
He did a nice job on the paint.
Finish it up and THRASH IT already.:LAUGH:

I took my black Buick out for a tunning run today.... Man that 350 feels good. Just thought I would share my progress. Might need a little more converter.

How do you like that 200r4?

I like the 200 4r. It feels nice and crisp. 1-2 shift throws me back in my seat a little. I am going to put another convertor in it some where between 3000 and 3200 and still maintain the lock up. I need to bring the park Idle speed rpm down and raise the idle rpm in gear a little a tighter convertor should help me with this problem! :BEERS:

Update:

Car is starting to come together. After fighting with a low idle stumble. Many people told me to get rid of the 850 Demon carb I am running. I did some research and found that I needed to increase the shooter size. After replacing the shooter the car now footbrakes at between 1600 and 1700 rpm. More testing to come! Just thought I would share my progress with those of you who are intrested.:BEERS:
