Re: My "Uncle Ben's" DC2 rebuild
Updates:
Blew the motor at 11lbs. of boost Nov. of 08. The car was down for almost a yr. Finally saved enough for the rebuild and got it back on the road late Oct. of 09 w/ some upgrades.
Here how it sits as of today:
More to come in a couple of weeks...it never ends.

Thanks for the compliments. My 3 yr old niece really digs the pink valve cover and Jiggly Puff wrist bands. She walked up to the Teg and said to me "cool car". That was priceless.

Yes sir she does. It gives her an edge. I was thinking of cutting out the middle bar, but then it would reveal the "other" radiator. I like to keep it stealthy.

Updated pics from the RPM Show a couple of weeks ago. Repainted the radiator support and shock towers, detailed the engine bay, and door jams, and finished wet-sanding, buffing, and polishing after 4 days and a total of 16 hrs.
