    PINKY has/is going through a pretty deep make-over.
    3 months ago the list was a mile long :p

    Now its down to:
    New rear end gears (which I have)
    Tranny cooler & Tires.....so I guess that would be my list :yup:

    Some heads, a cam, hopefully by Easter I can get in it and start it......

    .....Then some street tires, a toploader, and since PINKY has retiered from racing, the U.P.S. Car can take her place. (In other words I plan for something streetable that runs all-motor 10's) :rofl2:

    The mav. is put away for the winter , it had an exhaust leak start at the front cyl. on the exhaust manifold (250 6cyl) will fix that before spring, but for the good stuff, I was thinking of the carbonfiber cowl hood, front chrome hood molding,and a new set of rims/tires...at least it can look the part before I get to build a stroker motor for it. It only has 35,000 miles on it and the air cond. works I hate to take it apart ,so I will do the hood and wheels over the winter,and start gathering more parts for the engine swap ,and enjoy it with its original powertrain another year. I would have already bought the hood by now but for some reason I thought I needed a new truck and bought a new dodge 4x4 with a cummins diesel. (it is awsome but it has taken all my extra time and money lately) I will have what I want done to it by jan. or feb. just in time to get the mav. ready for spring....
