Here is some specs:
350/th350
5/6 (around there) drop
summit long tube headers and street strip intake
auto/manual shift kit
electric water pump and fans
GM type II PS pump w/ remote reservoir
96 Trans Am seats
Honda Pilot console (free)
retrosound radio, Q-logic kick panels

going for the rat rod look, which i think is obvious Trying to keep it old school. Got some 15x8 rallys for the front, but need to paint them first, and got to get 2 more BFGs. But they will get beauty rings and maybe some center caps.

Re: Finally puttin up a build thread :/

it works good, have a lokar floor shifter in it. It is probably hard on the tranny since i dont have a tach. Most of the time its in drive so it shifts nice and quick. Only when i want to have some fun i manually shift it, and even then its mostly 2nd into 3rd. Thinking one day to go with a standard trans.

Automatics nice tho in town but not so muich on the highway, but you seem to have it perfect with the auto/manual shift! best of both worlds!
