Yep that dam string is back.

While we are there we are going to open up the wheel tub area and make them look exactly the same and offer more clearence.

More to come next week - New Firewall and New Crazy Idea's

just had to have a billet firewall huh? :D

Well Kinda of. We are going to do something very similar. I'll keep everyone up to date on the new firewall. I've spent a lot of time rethinking it and i think it will look 100% better. I want to thank Laramie at Precision Brakes for helping me with the new, new, new Master Cylnder and Brake Pedal Combo. It should finish the firewall

Here is what i've learned.
1. Don't move you engine over to clear your steering Shaft (move your steering shaft)

2. If you move your motor over (or back to factory location) you may cause these problem.
A. The motor just doesn't seem right in the engine bay
B. Create's all Kinds of Problems when trying to make inner Fenders
C. Remember Center is Cool.

3. Did i mention don't lower the motor (sounded like a good Idea at first)
A. The benifit of lowering were soon outweighed when we found we had little or no room for the inner fenders

4. and Most important
A. Have a plan and try to stick to it.

yep it's real all 14" of it. Some may say i'm overcompensating

Okay here is a quick midweek update.

As you all know something is wrong with me.
We've moved the motor back to the center and i am finally happy again.

And Yep we've even added one more string.
