I would like to thank our friend Paul Berkenpas for building a healthy transmission that will handle the horsepower.
I wanted to say that right off the bat, because I don't have any pictures of it, where I would normally mention it.



I [heart] this picture.

April 8th, 2004. The 2nd annual Wal-Mart Show & Shine.
"This picture is great. My wife look like she is wearing a tiara, but it's really just an optical illusion from the trees in the background and her sunglasses.
I may be smiling, but the gray sky was giving me great cause for concern.
My baby doesn't let rain touch her... I'm talking about the nova."





Panoramic #1

Kool April Nites 2004. Cars, Cars, and more Cars!
"Here is a panoramic shot taken by my wife from way up on the convention center.
My car is right in front of that group of people looking at it."





Panoramic #2

Kool April Nites 2004.
"A very nice panoramic shot of the group I was in."





Panoramic #3

K.A.N. 2004. Good times... gah-ood times.
"I've realized through the process of building this site, that I'm like a 'Where's Waldo?'.
You can see me in quite a few of the pictures.
I guess it just goes to prove that I'm never far from my car for long."





Before full interior restore

April 2004. Interior.
"This is what the interior was like. By this time next year it will be drastically different."





Panoramic Brown

April 2004. Interior (Panoramic).
"This picture really shows the brown color of the dash, console, and carpet."





Panoramic Tail

April 2004. Baby got back.
"Since last year, I added wheelie bars
(which were welded to the rear axle by Lance Rhoades. Thanks Lance!),
a new rear bumper, and 'Hoosier' tires, among other things..."





Fuel cell & NOS

April 2004. Inside the trunk.
"...LIKE A FUEL CELL!
I told you on the 2003 page that the NOS bottle looked lonely.
If you're real observant you would have noticed in the last picture that the gas tank was gone."





Pop a wheely

April 2004. Another look at the rear.
"So nice, you have to look twice.
Although, that differential cover doesn't look right.
Oh, well. I'll figure out something to do with it."





Blower belt

April 2004. A look at the motor.
"There is the blower belt I was talking about."





Panoramic R & R

April 2004. Taking a well deserved rest..
"There's nothing quite like sitting back, drinking a Pepsi, and ogling your own Hot Rod!"





Posi

April 2004. Time to change more.
"Now, I wanted to change out the rear gears. Also, wanted to take out the spool and add Posi.
So, that is just what I did!"





FlowmasterS

April 2004. The whole rear end is out.
"You can see way back to my dual Flowmaster mufflers."

Whew! What a ride. Can there really be more? You bet.
See it for yourself at the 2005 page.
CLICK THE YEAR TO GO THERE.

...then again, there is always the option of going back HOME.
