alright everyone this is my first donk build. i had a box before but i sold that to get a donk. It is in decent shape and i am going to build this from the ground up. the first thing i did was i took the body off the frame and had the frame sand blasted and powdercoated. i than went on to putting on all new brake front and rear.after that i decided to do what was important first...the engine.I turned my 350 into a 383 stroker with a 400 crank and some other work. Than i replaced all the fluids hoses and some belts.Than i did an edlebrock intake and carb long tube summit headers and dual flowmaster 40 series new spark plugs spark plug wires and distributor. Next i am currently working on my system. i am running all hifonics amps to 3 sets of the new alpine type s (i should have got the r's but couldnt afford it right now) components and 1 set of alpine type s 6x9. the sub i am running is a mtx9500 15 in a ported box. that is all i got in right now i will put up more pics when i have the chance i am pulling the carpets right now to dynamat the whole floor so her you go with some pics..



this is the engine with new wires and everything jut not the manifold or the carb


here is the new manifold and the carb getting tuned


here is the begining of the trunk build


i need some help with my lift i want to put on i want to run 24s or 26s with a 295/30 on either one if you guys can help me out on what i would have to do to lift it and get a good stance that would be great....

Who's doin that work for you Shaun?

[shaunv954]

I am getting it done at a shop down in santa monica becasue they do great work..i cant remember there name because they are selling there buisness to a place called "al and eds" but they are keeping all there workers and prices the same.I have gotten a couple cars done with them and now they give me good deals on everything. iwill keep posting more pics as it comes along i just got the car back today pretty much gutted but i am going to remove all the rust i can dynamat the whole floor and than send it back to them to get my door pannels done and than its time to get the interior wrapped up...i wish i had enough money to send my car down to broward and get the body work and paint done at KandyLand but you never know i might just have to stack more paper and get it done the right way

I THINK IF YOU RUN 24'S RUN 255/30/24
WANT HAVE TO LIFT IT AND YOU WILL STILL GET THE FULL LOOK...

[shaunv954]

i am looking to start putting the interior in an want to get some opinions. i was thinking since most all the interior will be that saddle color would it look good if i did the carpet in dark green and the top dash dark green. the only othe parts that will be green are the small parts one the fiberglass work and the pipping and stitching ...shoot some ideas out there

You're in Cali? I'm thinking you will be just fine on the paint, no reason in the world to ship it to Broward.

x2 Or if you go staggered the 255/30 in the front with the 275/30 out back.. it was a perfect combo for me

[bangingears]

this should turn out pretty good

[shaunv954]

i havent been putting up any pictures because i havent worked in 2 months so i havent had money to put into my car but i have put in sound deadner from the firewall to the trunk(trunk is already done with system) here are 2 pics but i am going back to work next week so expect some updates comin real soon!!her is a pic of the front with 2 layers of 80 mill sound deadner

here is the back seat area


ohh let me tell everyone to never use liquid dynamat…it doesnt stick well. i did the interior of my car with it and let is sit for 10 days than tried to put my sound deadner and it pealed off.i had to go over the whole floor with a single razor getting it all off…shit took forever

[THE MAN]

Was wondering how that worked out..

I always just use the mat, was thinking you were gonna lay the mat down then come back over it with the liquid stuff... Oh well you live and you learn

[shaunv954]

The reason I put it down first is it is a rust inhibiter and my floors were in pretty good shape so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone...but as you said you live and ya learn...talked to my audio people today and told them I am Don with the dynamating and they said they will do my start my door panels next Friday...than my interior will be next...can't wait to finish the insides so it can go get body Nd paint Anne start lookin good!
