I know that I have a few sets of NIP white toe blocks!!

ok upon inspection,
And after stripping it down, think it was unused when it got the chassis swap .
the trans is smooth and shows no wear on the out drives, brake disk is oem and unworn.
nice pile of hop ups !i think the tecna buckels are late , as they are alot thicker in the shaft compared to my green T buckles .
So they will be swapped to my runner
The rpm bulkhead was a nice surprise as i just got another nip .
new A/L cranks the ones with the mega thick bar .
the motor was full of fuel so i figure hydro-lock after a clean up looks in great condition ,tight and with good compression plus with the MIP pipe ,hitec servo think i like recycling LOL

so this is the progress so far

Wow, that GT looks amazing! Nice score and nice work! Best of luck!

Quick work there fella, and she sure looks sexy so far

Thanks looking on giving it its maiden run on the 4th

You may want to clean up that original manifold or you'll juice your servo and bellcrank with fuel and oil. You might be able to re-direct the exhaust out the side, but I'm not sure it wouldn't change performance. Great GT though!

+1 on both counts. Thr truck looks great but that could get messy/expensive real fast.

i think your right i was thinking a extender on the pipe out the side ,ill just go stock .
someone cut the end off the stock one with a chain saw LOL it will need some work .

ok still on the fence with what to do with the pipe but have to pull my finger out to get it started .

body turned out ok about my third try at vinyl mask paint job ,will be my last it just wont do the tight radii then releases just after the final rub down LOL
Paint mask next time or a combo .
