Great progress man!!
Also great catching up with you the other day in Dublin:thumbsup:

Thanks bro's.... getting closer....

Nick - good seein ya and the car last week. I know you still got more plans and mods for it, but it's lookin sweet already as is! :thumbsup:

We got our work cut out, thrash time buddy!:willy:

9 work days to go guy's........:cheering:

Get that beast finished so Richie can finish mine!!! Good luck down south Flash, you will kill it. :unibrow:

I've seen how you guys can thrash in the paddock... I wouldn't be surprised if the tunnel welds are still hot in session 1.

Need progress pics!

Nothin like an uncorked 377 shakin the crap out of the shop. We are almost there. :thumbsup:

Now make that 8 days. We are hoping to have the car street testing by Saturday. It is possible. :D

Scotty, I know I have been hogging Rich lately at the expense of your progress... I promise after Buttonwillow mine is gonna chill for awhile and you are Priority #1! I can't wait to see you in yours buddy. I really am anxious to see and HEAR that bad boy. :woot:

That is entirely possible although hopefully this weekend's goal is accomplished! Got some pics forthcoming....

My ears are ringing right now as I am trying to get to sleep, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

(Highly recommended that you turn your speakers up to max volume :D)

Made some really good progress tonight. Just one of those days where almost everything worked out well and came together. We needed one of those!

Long story short on the new 3" aluminum driveshaft I got recently... bought a new/2nd hand shaft on ebay for $200 in the length I thought was dead nuts what I needed, but I failed to account for the larger 1350 pinion yoke, so was going to get it shortened 1/2" (at the tune of $125) to make the trans yoke hit its target slip of 3/4"... driveshaft guy says we dont have a 1350 pinion u-joint, as I was told by seller, but instead it's a 1330/3R conversion u-joint... first I am kinda pissed, but then realize because of this the 1330 pinion yoke is shorter than the 1350 and that makes my driveshaft perfect length and hits my 3/4" slip target as I had previously thought. And the 1330 pinion yoke I needed is a little cheaper than the 1350 yoke I just bought (1350 is an overkill upgrade for what this car is doing anyway). Things were just fine with my old 1310 yoke/u-joints. Okay not so short of a story but it had a great ending and I wanted to share. :thumbsup:

Got the oil cooling system finished and buttoned up consisting of a good sized Earl's cooler, Mocal 180* thermostat, 17 feet of Aeroquip -10AN stainless hose, 10 fittings, and Moroso remote oil filter system. Fired up the motor and it ran like a champ and got up to proper temp and pressure. First time I'd heard the kitten purr in almost 3 months. :unibrow:

The system added just under 2 quarts to the total amount of oil being used.

We ended with the new driveline and cleaned up exhaust all done and called it a night.
