Thanks! It coming together very smoothly right now! Were going to start measuring up for the radiator now. We are going to have brice thomas build the radiator for us and we are going to use one of the big cfm ford fans that we got out of a cougar. you just cant beat these radiators price and power wise! we will kind of hide it a little so it wont be too much of an eye sore!

Good to see all the progress made Tyler.

Once people learn what powertrain you're using, they sign up for a ride, right?

Thanks Guys!

not a whole lot happened this last week. Today we cut the front of the tunnel out a little more. Also made a template for the new firewall. we will be bending up the sheetmetal tomorrow. depending on how far we get maybe tack the new firewall in.

Got our new Turnkey Engine factory Power steering system on order this week. Should be here in about a week and a half.

(Picture from SEMA Display)

Until then we will be finishing up the firewall and rasing the tunnel ever so slightly just to be sure we have enough driveshaft clearance. When the power steering assembly comes we will mount it up and then mocking up a cardboard radiator.

Hope to have it welded in by the end of the week
