When I got the car in July of 2001:

• maser cylinder brake lines

• dust shields which were my first purchase from Heartbeat City.
• I bought a msd ignition sytem with a 6al msd box distribitor cap and rotor.
• Eldelbrock valve covers and an
• Eldebrock 600 carb. After getting the car running I discovered the 14" rims would not clear the front calibers so I went to Bell Tire and bought a set of 15" BF Goodrich tires and tork thruster rims.
• I had problems with the headers over heating the starter so I put in a mini started to solve the problem.
• That august I had the car on Woodward.
• That winter I decideted to install a 700R4 transmition and an
• aluminum custom built drive shaft and
• autolight gages. This added more power in first gear and lower RPM's on the highway. However
• it allso created wheel hop when I mashed down the throttle. so
