WOW!!! Nice build. Thanks for posting your build pics/video of your car and keeping me motivated.
As of right now, I can ONLY dream of having a nice car like that. Seeing the build process and how it all comes togther makes me really appreciate the hard work/time that you and others have spent on their cars. I can only wish I had a fraction of car knowledge as yourself. Seeing your car, Steve Rupps car & Jeff Hansons car, for example, and others,(don't want to leave anybody out), makes me want to call Fesler for a build!!! LOL!!
Good luck and keep us posted!!

It's all alot of fun at the end of the day. It's way more work than most can imagine or can be documented. At least it is on these top shelf builds. You can't cut corners. It has to look great, function perfectly, and be reliable. Lot's of four letter words floating out of my garage somedays but it's still a blast. That is awful good company you have compared me to. I appreciate it.

Well after all these months I have steering!!!! Smooth as butter and looks great too.



I now have brakes too! Fought a couple leaks with the connections around the master cylinder. Loosening the lines and retightening them did the trick. I vaccuum blead them last night. The old lady let me borrow her leg. Brakes feel great, no leaks, really like the feel of them so far. DSE dash is fully bolted in along with the column, steering wheel, brake switch, drivers seat is in. When it's done I'll post all the photos.
Made a homemade bench bleeder.



It's on the road this week! Have a couple of trick parts here and on the way to dress her up a little. haha

Thanks boys....AJ, Saturday is out. I dropped her tonight and the body and the tires were best friends. I could get 5 turns out of the front coil overs and managed 1/8 of an inch clearance. Don't have a spanner wrench for the front yet. So basically oil line, stance, hood keep me from showing up. I'll have it knocked out very soon. Looks killer on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to see what Tyler came up with getting the exhaust thru and out the back. I forgot to ask why you decided to go with an exterior fuel pump rather than an internal one. ...besides the $$. All looks very cool.... I mean bad.
