Dsmdolney’s street/drag build

[dsmDolney]

Here we go again on another build thread. This is the girlfriends build and car that I am documenting since she is not on here. Little history on the shell we picked up, originally from Michigan and is rust free with a full cage. The car itself has been sitting for who knows how long and has not been touched really untill we got ahold of it, had no interior and was basically stripped. So far here is what we have done: Stripped engine bay, sanded and resealed then painted, subframes have been sand blasted then powdercoated with solid bushings installed, all new suspension parts with almost all bolts, wheel wells undercoated with por15, full interior installed, and a ton more work. As for a mod list here it is and it will change as time goes on but as for now she is going to run this setup and see what we can do with it.

Stock 7 bolt bottom end 97-99 balance shafts deleted

There more i am missing but for being the girlfriends car this will be a perfect setup for her as she just wants a nice cruiser for nice days with occasional track days and Mexico days.

Nice. Should be a fun year with all the 16G cars out.

Are you planning to take a lot of weight out of the car?

The spare wheel well is already cut out so that shaved some weight, ac is all removed and some small other things.

10s on 7 bolt rods? Man, you will ruin the day for everyone else with oil and engine leftovers all over the track. J/K, good luck with the build!

Nice another Michigan car. My transporter left 40min to go get mine.

Can't wait to see the build thread progress on yours.

16G that is interesting, i just picked up another 16G my self in anticipation of downgrading and enjoying the car more then making all this whp but wrecking transmissions every other race day. Did the car come with the components already blasted or did you do that? I believe you did...where did you get that huge frame blasted? Would be nice to get that done one of tehse days, and upgrade the bushings ect if the car dosnt sell before.

[dsmDolney]

I got them blasted and powdercoated myself then installed the bushings

[turbotalon1g]

LMAO whats the issue with 10s on a 7 bolt? this is 2018.
