Default its almost done

not that anyone cares, but
yesterday i spent 5 hours working on the red r/t...turbo is off, head is off, replaced the front konis and mopar springs with KYB GR-2's and stock springs, removed the 3.55 tranny and put in a 3.94 tranny, and a few other things....
in a few minuites im gonna go outside and take off the rear konis and maybe take out the fuel pumps....then tomorrow i hope to put the new head on and have the car drivable....

after i finish installing everything tomorrow, the the car will have:
mopar performance pcm
iceman intake
stock r/t tranny
kyb gr-2 struts
hurst sts (installed)
booger bushings (installed)
shorty header
catco high flow cat
2.5" exhaust pipe (installed)
crane valve springs
bc titanium retainers
crane #14 cams
prothane suspension bushings (installed)

otherwise i think thats about it...

i just cant wait to drive it again...
no more turbo though[&o]

ive done this stuff so many times that i could do it blind folded.....
laste week i was working on the white r/t,
swapped out all 4 struts,swapped the gauge cluster,swapped the throttle body, swapped the complete exhaust (header, cat., mid pipe, and muffler) changed back to stock, and a few other minor things....took a total of 2.5 hours....

so anyways....everything is basically now up for sale
