Cool, good for him. When I was there two years ago. He was SOOOO busy. Doing all the work and I think your mom was helping out here and there. Very nice Lady also. I felt really bad that he was the only one there. There were so many motors he was working on.

Yeah it was just my dad, my mom, and me. I worked there through highschool and summers when I was home from college. He is still super busy even though he isn't open for business hours. I miss working there. I am surprised I never met you...did he build your engine in '06?
Come to think it maybe it was three years ago. Man its been awhile. Ask him he should remember. It was the 1st 318ci Chrysler Small block he bored and stroked out to 402ci. He had to modify the block to fit the 4inch stroke crank. I think he told me you were at school when he was building my motor. I've got a bunch of pics from inside his shop when he was building it. Was really cool and gave me a tour of the shop and let me watch a lil bit while he was puting the motor together.:thumbsup:
looks better. you should get some chrome blinker bulbs for it. itll completely get rid of the orange but will flash orange when its on :thumbsup:
Nice, does look much better
I will definetly do that thanks for the tip!
Ah I see. Yeah I will call him tonight and ask him. I am sure he will remember you. How long did your project take? How did you like it? I know I am bias but I think he does an excellent job. He really cares about the work he does, he doesn't just throw stuff together. How long were you stationed at malmstrom?
Took him about 2-3weeks I think to bore the motor out/modify the block to fit new 4inch crank and put it together from manifold to oil pan. I was in a rush to get it together cause I was leaving Montana so I had to have the motor back in my Duster like 2-3day after he finished. He did a great job but the only thing I didnt like which I understand cause your Dad had some many projects going on at the same time is he had my motor on a table and not a engine stand when he was puting it together. He was very good at explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it. I was only stationed at Malmstrom for a year. I think sep04-dec05.
He likes to use a table for assembly. He does them all like that. I'm sure he has an explanation, but I don't know it.
I don't blame you one bit for wanting to change out those lights. The factory ones that came on the SN95 GTs were horrible. I put a set of OEM Cobra headlights on my old 94 GT with some clear corners. Although I didn't like how the clear corners looked so I put the stockers back on.
Your smoked ones look really good!

Got ya. Well ayways....... forgot to say car looks good and hope you and your Dad get the TT project under way. :beer:
I was going to tell you to buy silvania silverstar corner lights, but I forgot.. So....BUY THEM.. You should also maybe get the green bulbs from auto trim.... The look good with the corners and these lights...
looks cleaner :thumbsup: a tad on the ricer side but not too bad

theres nothing ricer about them.. they're not those gay projector ones or the ebay one piece type
If you got a chin spoiler, it would spruce up the front end a bit as well. I have smoked headlights and chin spoiler.
