The fire is lit! Really like the all business approach of their design and fabrication.

This car is going to be really cool. I agree with no more show cars make them so you can drive them. I don't want to have to worry about scratches or nicks on the car.

[Payton King]

Figured that I would get some work done and not stretch the build thread out for 2 years.

I got some mock up engine parts from my friend Jim Pettigrew, who works for Hendrick and did some work on the yellow car. These parts were sent up to Jake. SB2.2 heads from a blown up Cup motor, the motor plate is mine that I got from Hendrick. Mock up oil pump and a set of tri-y style stainless headers from I believe Jimmy Johnson's car. They are made by Pro Fab. 5 gallon Peterson oil tank.

So my thrift shop buys are the oil tank, headers and motor plate.

[Ron in SoCal]

Awesome Payton! Any idea if the headers will actually fit or do you need to mock up and see? Where's the oil tank going?

[Payton King]

Oil tank will be in the trunk or rear seat area.

Headers are up there to see if they clear. I can get different Y's and a different merge collector if needed as they all slide on. More concerned with floor clearance. They should clear everywhere else or with a small amount of additional fab work. Figure these new are $3600 and I can get them for $600...way cheaper than having a custom set made.
