Thumbs up Finally Done!

I have been restoring my 1987 Monte Ls for 3 1/2 years now and today i finally finished it and drove it. I put a big block 454 with a turbo 350 tranny, Moser Engineering 9" Ford rear end with a new strange center section with Detroit Locker, 3.5.0. gear ratio, custom driveshaft, Moser axles, Moroso trick springs, Moroso comp. shocks, aluminum radiator, Hooker ceramic coated headers, all i can say is wow, alot more power than i expected, from a stop punch it half throttle and it gets crazy LOL. Gonna take off work Friday next week to get insurance and tags so i can burn some fuel! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
