| I'm tired of changing back and forth between winter and summer springs on the Mass. state tropper car. I picked up another car so now I can keep Mass. state trooper car off the road for the winter. The new car:

Mods have been done to the top end. Could be it's one of those ultra high front '94's. Maybe in a few days I post a photo of the engine. I can't open the hood while it's on the trailer.
I'll address the dibs later, I've got to get back to work.

| The car is not even off the trailer and you guys are calling dibs on parts!  I sure hope you don't invoke the club motto when/if the time comes to buy something. I have to finish up some work on the Camaro before I start on this. BTW: anybody want dibs on the Camaro Muffler? One slightly used welded 2.5" Heartthrob HVS #54322 for a B-body and another new one to go with it. The trailer wheels look like 5x5 to me. Anyone know if that's a common size for these? | |

| It looks stock except for the tint. It looks to be in decent shape. Is there something wrong with it? |

| It's dented up a bit on the left side and it needs some engine work. Other than that it's in good shape. It's very clean underneath, it couldn't have been driven much in the winter if at all.
I have a couple road trips coming up to get some parts from Doug and Glen. | |

| I forgot about the ticket light. I may just go with an overhead console. I've had one for at least a year now.
I have everything I need except the body mounts which are tempting.
I might need a radiator to put in the oil cooler unless I make my own hoses. | |

I can't take credit for it, I read about the idea on another forum. I think I'll be spending a lot more time there. Hopefully the clone will be moved into the garage tomorrow. | |

I'm assuming thats a popped water jacket Supposedly the heads only came off recently. Only one window works and that one needs new rollers. And a roller broke on Mass car last night.  The antenna is busted. Anyone know if a RMS uses the same one? I know where I can get one, I still have the keys. Or should I just go with a 9C1 antenna? | |

| It looked like a stock oil pan to me but it must be some kind of deep sump pan 'cause it held alomst 2-1/2 gallons of oil! Any suggestions on how to clean the oil cooler in the radiator or would it be easier to buy a 9C1 radiator? I think I need to cut the front springs a bit. | |

| Lookin good, Jimbo! Like the color.  But impalas never had orange engines. Might look good with the green hoses, though. | |

| The intake is actually red. Sorry for the confusion, it's just the camera.
Maybe someday I'll paint the accessory bracket and the rest.
9C1 oil prsssure sensor - done! | |

| N97 wheels installed. The new engine is in and almost ready. I just have to plug in all the wires and install the accessories. I also have to do the wiring mod for the 9C1 oil pressure sensor. | |

| Except for the body mounts I have all the 9C1 parts that I need. Aside from the wheels I'm going to hang on to all the Impala parts for now. Who knows, someday I might want to make an Impala clone out of my 9C1. I don't think I'll loose points for leaving the keyless entry intact but thanks for pointing it out. I'll add it to the list along with the VATS. It looks like I already have the front 9C1 springs. This thing is still awful high in the front with all the weight back in. | |

| RAD. Any color you want...  Car would only run for 5 seconds and then die. I noticed some extra wiring under the dash so I disabled the VATS and it now stays running. So I can cross that off the clone list! After breakfast I'll lower the fan settings and fix the speed limiter. | |
