Welp,

The uglystick is not only gone from my yard, but fully equipped with a 496 big block huffing out of 2 1/8" primary headers. The tranny is a TCI Strip only TH350 (damn thing doesn't even have a speedometer drive).

We got it all together last night and the truck starter he put on it wouldn't even crank it over!!! it'd just go 'Whhhhh-ump,....whhhhhhhh-ump.....' insane. i haven't even heard if he got it fired up yet...shit, i just called my other friend in the photos and he said francis got it fired up 15 minutes after we left in the middle of the night last night.

well the car runs and drives as of this morning. francis says that at 50mph in drive, it'll walk out sideways at half throttle!!! fuckin a, this thing is twice the beast it used to be.

i heard it running over the phone and i swear to god it sounds like a rail.
