Hard to believe this build has been 3yrs going at this point. For those that might still be interested in the build I just wanted to share an update of what's been goin on with the ole Jyd Coupe. It's one of those never ending build apparently....I think this must be version III or IV but really who's counting? Lol.
After the last update we made a trip to the local track with a new tuneup and damn did it turn into one mean sob. THe track was having none of it and it seemed like one of those days where it just wasn't your day. This was later confirmed by a nitrous hiccup that took out a couple dzeus fasteners.....no biggie right? Quick fix and we'll be back next week....or so we thought.
So some new dzeus rails turns into....hmm maybe a facelift is in order? Well #### if we're doin that might as well move the cell up front and save weight. Well now that we're saving weight we might as well put some doors on it. Hey if we're shedding some weight maybe we should go ahead and add another kit,right? I mean isn't that how your supposed to do it? Ok maybe not but that's how Travis thinks at least.....ok so I won't put all the blame on him. I'm guilty of being up all night at work browsing the net tryn to find the latest and greatest and callin him in the morning on it. By the time I wake up he's already ordering whatever it may be or so it seems. So that brings up to where we are today....
Nothing like a lil ole 8.2 deck intake with a couple foggers on it. if we don't run 5.30s with this then were doin something wrong. Thanks to Monte Smith for this setup I'm sure he was scratching his head wondering what have got himself into with this one.
Then it was off to our buddy Jay's shop to get the front end mounted and setup. Very happy with the work and small little details he puts into his work.

Thanks to Induction Solutions for the gauges and fittings we got. Great customer service and fast shipping.
Thanks to Dan Schoneck for making the products he does and the high quality of his work. Can't wait to get some paint back on this sucker.
Also want to thank Trevor Stripling (strych9) for his products and all the help and advice he' given to us. Unfortunately I can't post any pics of the G14 classified products we use or don't use
So this is how she sits today in primer thanks to Pj for all his work. It's always good to be friends with a paint and body expert. Well unless your the paint and body expert btw he does free body work and wanted me to give everyone on Yb his # 512-867-5309

I bet that's a $250,000 coupe, if you had to add up all the receipts through the years.
Jay Presley did the cage on my bronco, and probably only did it because PJ sent me over there. If he's not by-referral only, he's real close to it.Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Homer: "Bart...there's 2 things I know about women. Never give them nicknames like "jumbo" or "boxcar" and always keep receipts...it makes you look like a business man."

I mean he ran a stock block stock fuel system and stock t5 in it for years. Now show me where the big money is in that? Its got good money in it now but not anywhere close to that. I find deals wherever I can on the parts that are on it and the stuff that comes off isn't exactly given away.
When you get $10,000 in body & paint work for a couple of grand, and that ratio permeates throughout the build, I way over estimated. Anyone else w/o all the connections would be in it for SOME six figure number.Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.
