ok, got the insides painted. now it's time to get this thing assembled. other info:

1. I'm having speed o motive down in west covina, ca build the motor. I got that started after I sold the Z06. motor will be ready in about 3 weeks.

2. bought a used 9" diff/carrier off craigslist. it's a posi but seems the clutches are worn. guess I need to rebuild or spring for a better diff and just use this for the carrier.

3. got the lexan windshield I ordered. will need trimming before it will fit.

things should start moving more quickly now (I hope)...

You really got everybody off of de-caf in the last vid.! BTW Is that .040 aluminum in the dash?

Looking good Asif. I'm going to talk to Jerry at NASA about working for them starting February on a voluntary basis and then starting my time trial season in May. How soon before you are track ready?

basically finished the dash and hung the fenders/hood on the car. need to fab some kind of grille setup. Don't know when I'm going to be ready to race. I'd love to make the March date but we'll have to see how things go.

oh, and not sure what thickness the aluminum is. it's what the dirt modified guys use for body panels...

got some big parts today. The IFS I've been waiting months for arrived and the trans I had Astro Performance build me showed up too. and next Friday I'll be in West Covina at Speed O Motive for the engine dyno session, then I bring it home! More updates on the blog. Here's a couple of pics:

and now I've got a motor... I'm hoping to get this thing on track in early May... once I drop the motor in I can really get some plumbing and wiring done and figure out the steering linkage... more at: http://asifnyc.com/?p=955
