So I joined here a while back . IM currently doing some upgrades to a pretty much already restored 77 Pontiac Bonneville. Its has some family history and my dad and I re did the car and its been on the road since 2011. I was young and im going back and fixing a few things at this moment now that I have a much broader skill set and im setting the car up as a street strip car. While the engine/trans is out I plan on doing some engine upgrades, and re sealing the transmission , IM building up a stout diff and fixing the dreaded crack and buckle in the frame ( I have known about it for a while but now I need to fix it ) . My wife primarily drives this car I enjoy wrenching on it and watching her have fun. I have my 72 cutlass for my own fun haha. Currently it has a 350 olds that I built back in 2008 and it lived in my cutlass and my car ran 13.7's with it. It found its way into the Bonneville back in 2010. We had the car at the drag strip back in October and surprisingly we have a 15 sec car !!! . It has a 3.08 gear , th350 with a 2300 stall and pretty much full weight . The goal is to put it into the low 14's and let my wife get more seat time before I stick in the wicked 463 olds im building.
IM gonna have questions as I go and hopefully I can get some feed back here. IM sharing a link to my youtube as I do videos and stuff like that to document my work just for fun. Might give you a better idea of what im working with and or capabilities as I know sometimes on forums we get lost in words.
