Totally!! I was shocked at how fast it fired up it was just like those TV shows well except its just one guy in his garage and a week of troubleshooting to figure out why it had no spark or fuel and the car is far from done. Ok nevermind, its nothing like TV =)

Thanks, I am hoping that I can put in a matching rear seat once some tubes go in.

I have been working to get the catch can plumbing all buttoned up and get the drain line installed and heat wrapped. Also drilled and tapped the water pump for the steam port line to hook into. Got that all buttoned up over the past few days. All of my cooling system is completed and tight as well as the coolant loop for the supercharger got all the clamps tightened and got it ready to fill this week. Still have not done that yet but will in the next few days.

Carpet and floor mats showed up, its not quite the color I had imagined but looks to be ok quality. Little lighter than I had hoped but when set next to a seat it looks pretty damn good.

I ordered all of the parts for the exhaust yesterday from Summit. 2.5 from the manifold to a y pipe then into a 3" Black Widow muffler, some kooks weld bungs for o2 and wideband, a bunch of v bands and a 3" tailpipe. Will all be stainless vibrant stuff, stainless works hangers and a flex connection for the drivers side before the y. I hope to be able to run a tailpipe out the back of the car if I can get it over the rear axle and around the tank and coilovers. Its all mandrel bent should be good and hope it is enough flow for the HP I am looking for.

Picking up the tubing for the roll bar tomorrow and hope to make a dent on that over the holiday weeks.

Be just a matter of time before this bitch is on the road!!

Sean

That’s great news Sean, keep it going! If you need an extra set of hands, or just a helper, with the cage and exhaust let me know. Happy to help.

Chris
