This journey for me actually starts before I even got this particular Stealth. My first one was a 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Non-Turbo that I drove pretty much into the ground. 2 engines and 3 auto transmissions later it was pretty much parked in my driveway and became my tinker toy. This was the car […]
The first thing I addressed on the car was getting it all cleaned up. I got everything removed from the interior of the car and made note of everything I had and what all I would need to get. the Good thing was I had a complete car that I would get like 90% of […]
With the engine bay paint all dry I can begin getting things knocked out. All of the brake related components are installed, Clutch line run, Firewall AC lines run, motor mounts installed. The cruise control system was deleted and the cables updated to a single pull cable that runs from the throttle pedal right to […]

Who am I kidding, project cars are never done! I am though at a point that the car is completed enough that I can enjoy it and can officially call it resurrected from the grave.All of the parts are painted and everything is assembled and working as it should. Some items such as the ECS […]
Almost 10 years ago now I bought this exhaust and did a decent write up about it on 3si.org that attracted a lot of attention of the community. The exhaust was extremely cheap and very high quality even if it was China made. Needless to say I still have and run that exact same exhaust […]
