Leaving us here:

Outstanding as always.

Our McLeod RST Street Twin clutch arrived so we took the opportunity to assemble it and install the Rockland Standard "Son of Tranzilla" T-56 using ATS's T-56 crossmember.



If anyone is interested, I posted the installation step-by-step here: Installation Thread

It's been a slow two weeks between holidays and an unfortunate delay at the coaters but I'm back on it now. We got the headers ceramic coated and installed now. I love the headers from this point of view - you never really get to see it and it really gives you an idea how much beef the ATS headers have:







Once we shuffle some things around in the shop we'll drop the body on and, if the center section arrives, we'll have the car on the ground by the end of the week.

James, projects going great. Love the brake set up on the firewall. Reminds me of Travis B's camaro set up. Real clean look. I would have done it this same way if I had the Know how but gotta draw the budget line somewhere Thanks for the pictures.

This car is really coming together...just awesome. Why did you go with the ricks tank? Are you going to put the gas tank in a cage? For example: Steve's 68 or vins 68...I was just curious

Sometimes the progress is slow but thanks for the compliment, they are always appreciated.

I went with the tank from (Rick's Stainless because it met all of the projects needs at this point in it's "life":

• It has a killer Kinsler spec Bosch fuel pump mounted internally
• Supply and return line plumbing is all AN right off the bat
• It is clearanced on the forward end for the exhaust
• It fits in the original space and configuration
• Fit, finish and quality is absolutely second to none

not to mention the fact that Rick and Hector and everyone at the shop are great to work with and always have a minute to answer questions and work through problems. None of the other fuel tank or cell vendors that I have used in the past had (IMHO) anything close to the Rick's tank so it was an easy decision in the end.

The Rick's tank does not require additional bracing or a cage; it uses two stainless straps and is mounted just like a factory tank. If we make a modification to the fuel system in the future for some regulatory reason then we would look to a slightly less (but still basically) stock layout.
