I wanted to do a tube chassis with a SBC in a 4door years ago but never did it, now I can watch you do it but with a 2 door lol.


Great work bro, now all you need to do is send a picture of it to American Honda regional manager and note it to say "This is a real Civic!".

Steps to replacing oil sending unit

step 1. remove radio
Step 2. remove dashboard

Step 3. remove all dashboard internals

step 4. how the hell are you going to do a oil change when the day comes?

great job man, just read this whole thread, it ranks up there with marty's turbomustang.com thread about the junkyard twin turbo grenade that runs 9s. Keep up the good work.
