Ok Guys and Gals Im finally ready to put up a progress post.
Here she is, I give to you, Beatrice, AKA Mad Bee.
You know what a stock 82 first gen looks like so Ill skip that and go straight to the good stuff, Here she is on March 15 2003 with the wide body installed.

Here is the interior on March 15 2003

Time for the good stuff, A new and improved interior on 17 may 2003

And here she is as of August 13 2003, Back from paint and body. shes still got a ways to go but Im loving her so far!!:yeah:

Hey Doc,

Nice! Very nice! :bow:

Gregg

Wow man! That is one trick looking 1st gen! What body kit is that? I have a `79 sitting around that I would like to widebody someday.

Are you using interior vinyl paint on the old interior to make it look that good?

Oh boy will that just be an autocross rocket with a 302 and the huge tires you can fit on it!

Toughguy

Thanks guys, those tires are 265/50/14's and the paint is airbrushed automotive paint. the door panels and dash pieces gauge surrounds, toggle plates etc are are polished aluminum plate. but most of the pieces are stock with a few minor mods, that gauge cluster is destin for a custom aluminum plate with autometer gauges too, I just havent got that far yet. I have a 302 in wait, im just gathering info and waiting for a little time, I have the rorary in it up for sale so when thats gone its project time. Ive also got an edlebrock n20 kit tucked away looking for something to do

that thing is mean lookin:yeah: i dig it

Thats looks great, NICE and clean interior.

Time for a decision........I just got the donar car in the driveway...Ive Got a nice 5.0 HO EFI motor and aod tranny.
I have the whole car so all the wiring comuters etc are at my disposal.
Im a pretty good wrench but have precious little experience with the efi, my initial plans was to just find a carbed motor and off to the races....now that Ive got this thing, Im just not sure what to do. Keep the efi, how hard can the wiring really be?????
Or just throw on an intake and carb.... Lets here your suggestions and comments here, what do ya think????
